Name?
editI can't tell what the name should be. A google search for 'Chenier Caminanda' versus 'Chenier Caminada' shows hits for both (3:1 in favor of Chenier Caminada, but indecisive). Jdorje 07:59, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Searching noaa.gov shows a 2:1 favor of Chenier Caminanda. I suspect that either is correct. If necessary I will upload a new track file under the correct name... Jdorje 08:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. We have a Noaa indicator as well. In 1893 on this page, it lists the Chenier Caminada Hurricane, without the 2 n's. I propose moving it back to Caminada. Hurricanehink 13:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Most of the NOAA sources say Caminanda though (with the extra n). So I don't think this is enough to judge. Chenier Caminanda was a town, right? We need to go to the source - louisiana history - to find the correct spelling (or to find out why either is correct). Until then we should treat it as if either is correct, and the article should explain the confusion. Jdorje 18:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, this Louisiana Hurricane History Site shows the Chenier Caminanda hurricane. This sounds official, as it is a product of the National Weather Service. I am now convinced. The article should stay as it is. Hurricanehink 18:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- From my understanding, Chenier Caminada (or whatever its name really is), is a region and not a village. For example: "...the hurricane wiped out two villages on the Chenier Caminada region of Louisiana." This website names it as both a village and a peninsula: "...densely-populated fishing community known as Chenier Caminada.", "...traversed the peninsula of Cheniere Caminada". I have seen several similar versions that say basically the same thing. I think the article should be revised. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 05:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
From the NHC Hurricane Katrina report, it says a hurricane that struck the barrier island of Cheniere Caminanda killed 2000 people. I vote it gets changed... again. Hurricanehink 21:13, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- I am rather unconvinced the current name is right but I don't think we should change it until we can find out for certain. Looking at NHC reports is not helpful since there is no guarantee they are right about this. Jdorje 07:42, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
The answer
editRename
editI renamed it from Chenier Caminanda Hurricane to 1893 Chenier Caminanda Hurricane. For future reference, all unnamed hurricanes should have the year in the name (you have the choice of this form or Chenier Caminanda Hurricane of 1893). Jdorje 18:24, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- That sounds good (forgot about that rule). Hurricanehink 18:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Question, shouldn't the article be named "1893 Chenier Caminanda hurricane" instead of "1893 Chenier Caminanda Hurricane" with "Hurricane" caps? -- RattleMan 02:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Good question. It should be, but every other article has the H in Hurricane capitalized. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Todo
editSurely there is more information on this storm? Jdorje 07:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
There are plenty of authentic Louisiana sources that talk about Cheniere Caminada (with an accent grave on the second e in Cheniere. Consider this history by Grace King
http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/moa/pageviewer?frames=1&coll=moa&view=50&root=%2Fmoa%2Fharp%2Fharp0088%2F&tif=00881.TIF&cite=http%3A%2F%2Fcdl.library.cornell.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmoa%2Fmoa-cgi%3Fnotisid%3DABK4014-0088-104, the Kate Chopin story called the Awakening, the LACoast2050 website, and this article in the New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060227fa_fact2 (now a broken link) which identifies the area main settlement as Caminadaville... ...only federal sources like NOAA seem to use the "2n" spelling.
There is a new source at the Westwego, LA museum. Historian Lynn Chapman has been developing the story of Caminadaville residents displaced by the storm who relocated to Westwego (then called Salaville).
