Talk:Boundary Waters–Canadian derecho

Untitled

Following the path for this derecho on my globe, it appears to follow the great circle between North Dakota and northern Vermont, rather than following the latitudes. This strongly suggests that the derecho was strong enough to minimize the Coriolis effect! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.14.185.121 (talk) 08:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Map would be good

Considering the subject a map of the blowdown in the BWCA would be good. I'll also look for it but just mentioning. North8000 (talk) 13:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Was there really a death?

I was in the BWCAW during the Blowdown, clearing the Kekekabic Trail for the Forest Service and in Ely for the setup of the command center. I also authored a chapter in tne book "Our Wounded Wilderness" and have always been under the impression that, while there were some singnificant injuries, there were no fatalities. Looking up articles written at the time, I cannot find mention of any either.  ??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkStange (talk • contribs) 17:42, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

I questioned that too in my mind but didn't say anything. I thought I specifically remembered that there were no deaths. Also it appears to be unsourced. North8000 (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Per [1] it looks like there was on indirect death. (drowning) North8000 (talk) 15:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

The derecho severely impacted Timmins, Ontario, a city with population 45000. Does that render the statement that it did not affect major population centres in Ontario east of Lake Superior false? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.157.60.224 (talk) 16:14, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Tough call. I think most would say that you need one or two more zeros after the "45,000" to be a "major population center" North8000 (talk) 18:19, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

A film on this topic?

The end of the article mentions a film on this storm was supposed to come out in 2012. There is no reference, and I was not able to find this film. Maybe someone can find out more?--Tallard (talk) 05:23, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Formatting of article title

I don't understand the formatting of the title of this article. Specifically, I don't understand the reason for the spaces around the en-dash. This two-name title doesn't seem different from any other title containing a place name or phenomenon composed of two names, such as Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary. (I'll look for others.)

The article can likely be renamed by a move to Boundary Waters–Canadian derecho. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
