Talk:Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635

Inaccuracy

There is no way even 80% of the information is correct. 260mph wind gusts, 842mB? This occured in 1635, there is no way this article is accurate.

I don't know about the actual strength, but a Google search says this did exist. Toothpaste 06:40, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

260 mph gusts and 842 mb would both be world records by a substantial margin. Let's be realistic - a Category 5 hurricane in New England is practically impossible (it would weaken to, at the most, a low-end Category 4 before striking land). I can't ever see a Category 5 hurricane making landfall north of Cape Hatteras... CrazyC83 00:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

He's right, theres no way a hurricane can have wind gusts of 260mph or 842 mbar. Such storms do not exist. Storm05 17:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

That discussion was about the original revision of the article. It has since been fixed. Jdorje 18:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

New info

I added a little more info on the casualties. I hope it's true! I got it from here[1]66.30.58.20 00:17, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I didn't write the catagory in! Blame someone else!(Even check the history) By the way does anybody like my additions to the article. I'm not quite done. Can I have some help?66.30.58.20 23:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Could the hurricane have been avoided if only the colonists had been driving EVs instead of riding methane farting horses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.56.173.184 (talk) 19:25, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Huh? Jdorje 02:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Grthur apparently refers to the image (Grthur35.jpg) that is missing). Rbraunwa 02:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Stub?

Is this page still considered a stub? It seems much longer now.Icelandic Hurricane 14:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
