It will be back again in 2061. The 1986 flyby was a bit of a disappointment. Comet Kohoutek in 1973 was much better, but it won't be back for another 75,000 years.

What is a meteors storm?
Each time a comet comes near the Sun, the dust and debris from a comet passing near the Sun are pushed out a LITTLE bit from the head of the comet, but MOST of the dust and rocks from the comet continue along in pretty much the same orbit as before. Over the centuries, the trail of dust and rocks spreads out along the orbit to fill in the entire orbital path. When the Earth's orbit crosses any part of the comet's orbit, we have "meteor showers". Most meteors are the size of a grain of sand, and the "average" meteor is about the size of a grain of rice; a meteor the size of a Golf ball is pretty big, and meteors like the one that exploded over Russia in March, 2013 are enormous..
