Images for each storm

Another year down. Hurricanehink 21:05, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Storm05. Hurricanehink 16:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Added missing clear templates, but this is a minimal problem. Great work by adding the stormpics.
Thanks. I'll work on 1990 later on. Hurricanehink 23:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Damage?

edit

If only one hurricane caused significant damage, which was bob that caused $1.5 B in damages, how can the total damages be $2.8 B? Does the infobox incorrectly include damages from the Nor'easter? — jdorje (talk) 06:09, 11 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would guess the box included the nor'easter, which was technically a hurricane at some point. It is iffy what should be included, but one example supports using it. In 2005's infobox, it includes 1 death from Hurricane Maria, a death that did not occur until it became extratropical. They agreed there that extratropical stuff would be included if it was major, so I would guess the same applies here. After all, some of the beach erosion could have occurred when the storm was subtropical or a hurricane. Because it is impossible to differentiate, I say it should stay. However, after all of this, the total is, in fact, incorrect. It is the sum of Bob ($1.5 billion 1991 USD) and the Perfect Storm ($1.3 billion 2005 USD). I'll fix it to make it in 1991 and 2005 USD's. Hurricanehink 14:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
The 2005 death was from Maria's remnants. The Nor'easter was the origin of a hurricane but the hurricane had nothing whatsoever to do with any damage or deaths. — jdorje (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
True, but how do you know that the hurricane that formed did not cause any damage? Yes, that entire system caused the damage, but the hurricane could have contributed to the coastal beach erosion. Here's sort of an example I have. For Hurricane Gordon, it caused around 20 deaths in Guatemala as a precursor system. The whole system caused the deaths, but because it became Gordon they are attributed to Gordon's death toll. Hurricanehink 19:44, 11 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Depressions

edit

I finished 5 & 10-i had to alter the button bar to their correct positions. Now while i was working on it i was thinking maybe we should only talk about up to 4 depressions a season?I'm bringing this up because i am looking for info on TD7-13 for '87.HurricaneCraze32 19:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think all known TD's should be mention. Be careful on your wording. On TD10, for example, you say the storm formed with a weak circulation on the 23rd, and was named on the 24th. When a tropical depression forms, it is when it becomes a depression, not when it has a weak circulation. Someone should give a good copyedit to what you recently wrote, as it is low-quality writing. Hurricanehink 21:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
Just 10 or also 2,4 & 5? HurricaneCraze32
All of them aren't particularly well-written. Hurricanehink 00:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
There was no report so i had to use the public advisories for 2,4,5, and somewhat for 10.Some of 10 is from the report.HurricaneCraze32
You could still make an attempt to write better. Hurricanehink 00:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Class

edit

Can this be upgraded to class? íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 02:37, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Not quite. More information is needed in each section, and the writing is poor in places. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hurricane Eight

edit

I don't mean to be too crtical, but the title of the storm summary for Hurricane Eight is 1991 Halloween Nor'easter, while the infobox for it is titled Hurricane Eight. The Nor'easter wasn't part of the hurricane season, but the Hurricane Eight was. It should be retitled Hurricane Eight. Also, the storm summary seems to be too much about the Nor'easter rather than the actual hurricane. HurricanesTyphoonsCyclones 21:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Two articles on Hurricane Eight

edit

Question, why are there two articles on Hurricane Eight? See here 1991 unnamed hurricane and 1991 Perfect Storm. There should be no reason to have two articles on the same cyclone. --12george1 (talk) 02:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

They're not the same storm... –Juliancolton | Talk 02:13, 3 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
I see what your thinking. The 1991 Perfect Storm article seems to be about the same storm just with a little more details, such as impact, fatalities, and damage. But I have to tell you, why is this picture used for the main picture of both articles? --12george1 (talk) 02:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Nope, I didn't say that; the Perfect Storm was the nor'easter that preceded the unnamed hurricane, so they're different storms. The infobox picture in the nor'easter article needs to be replaced. –Juliancolton | Talk 05:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review. I believe I addressed all of the comments. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:54, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ok, everything looks good! I will now be passing this article for GA. Congratulations,--12george1 (talk) 15:15, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Merging timeline

edit

I just noticed there was a timeline article. Given that there weren't many storms co-active, and that the season is featured (and has more info than the timeline), I propose the timeline be merged. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Seeing a lack of opposition, I'm going to go ahead and do it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:41, 26 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, but I reverted the merger per WP:BRD. There was no support for the merger, and 1991 AHS did have three storms active at once. Eight storms is info for a timeline in the ATL IMO. YE Pacific Hurricane
Still, I am going to support the merging of the timeline; I agree with Hink. HurricaneFan25 01:06, 27 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
YE, you also reverted some additions to the main article that were useful. Why is that? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:14, 27 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
