Creepy, Leeboy! Here are some other similarities:

Both seasons were El Ninos.

The total number of cyclones, counting depressions, in both seasons were one apart - 22 in 2009 and 23 in 1994.

Both seasons had three named storms form in the CPAC which started with the same three letters.

Both seasons had 17 named storms form east of 140W.

In both seasons, the first named CPAC storm was a crossover from the EPAC. Lana '09 formed from TD 6E in the EPAC, and Li '94 formed from TD 8E in the EPAC.

Both seasons featured five major hurricanes.

Both seasons featured one unnumbered CPAC tropical depression, 01C in 1994 and 02C in 2009, respectively.

Both seasons had one hurricane form in June, Carlotta in 1994 and Andres in 2009, respectively.

Both seasons featured four named storms develop in July, although Lana did so in the CPAC.

In both seasons, the "H" storm (Hector '94 and Hilda '09) reached winds of 55 knots, although Hilda's 995 mbar pressure was two mbars higher than Hector.

Both seasons second CPAC named storms (Mele '94 and Maka '09) reached winds of only 35 knots. Maka, however, crossed into the WPAC.

The EPAC "M" storms of both seasons (Marty '09 and Miriam '09) reached the exact same intensity - 35 knots/1002 mbar. Even creepier, they attained TS intensity only 18 hours apart in the day.

The "R" storms of both seasons made landfall in Mexico. However, Rick had substansially weakened to a TS from its insane C5 peak by the time it hit near Mazatlan, while Rosa was still a C2 when it hit. In addition, Rosa was much deadlier than Rick.

Expanding on one of your points you already listed, both seasons featured two storms cross the dateline. In 1994, Li and John did so, while Maka and 02C did so in 2009.

Both seasons had three major hurricanes form by the end of August and then two afterwards.

In both seasons, the "F" storm crossed from the EPAC into the CPAC. However, Fabio of 1994 only retained TD intensity west of 140W, but Felicia still held onto hurricane intensity for a while after crossing.

And similarly, the "G" storms of both seasons crossed from the EPAC to the CPAC. However, Gilma in 1994 exploded into a Category 5 hurricane after crossing, while Guillermo in 2009 seldom exceeded TS intensity.

I believe that's all. Does anyone else have comparisons neither Leeboy nor me noted?
