Problem

edit

Problem... What should be done about its effects in the Mid-Atlantic region? It was related to the storm, though it was a renmant combined with another system. Some sites say Juan caused 62 deaths, including the mid-Atlantic flooding, but the NHC doesn't mention it at all (though they don't mention a lot of things some times). So what should we do?

Looks like most of that info (in the Appalachian section) is already covered. The only thing missing is clarification that this destruction was not necessarily due to the tropical system itself (likely the reason for no retirement). Jdorje 03:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I meant about the infobox. Don't even get me started on the retirement. It caused $1.5 billion in Louisiana alone, and combined with the Mid-Atlantic, it caused around $3 billion in 1985 dollars, $5+ billion today. I'm just wonderng should we mention the deaths and damage caused by the renmant in the infobox. Hurricanehink 03:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Seems like a similar situation to Hurricane Stan. Jdorje 03:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Juan and Stan were worlds apart. To not acknowledge all those deaths in Central America to Stan is ludicrous, and TPC knows it. It's not like there was a circulation in the Gulf of Mexico before Stan arrived...the rainfall/deaths were directly attributable to Stan's circulation...no different than Mitch (1998) or Fifi (1974). Juan and an additional occluded cyclone led to the damage in the Mid-Atlantic, which is shown in the Daily Weather Map Series. I corrected it in the storm's summary, and added some rainfall information and a graphic. thegreatdr 20:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Agreed, except this is said and done with. Maybe we could have that information in paranthesis? Also, is this article any better, or is it still a start article? Hurricanehink 04:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I changed it to B. Make sure you include metric units. Jdorje 04:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Appalachian Mountains

According to the USGS figures are different for the flood. Maybe that section can be approved using this source. --Matthiasb (talk) 04:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello User:Hurricanehink! Secret decided to delete this page so that way I could review Juan instead. Anyway, here is some issues I have with this article. I am going out for dinner tonight, so I will finish later. --12george1 (talk) 21:35, 9 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • " that looped twice near the Louisiana coast, causing torrential flooding for several days." - I know there can be torrential rainfall, but can there be torrential flooding?
  • "The energy from Juan helped spawn an occluded low in the Tennessee Valley, which produced " - Wikilink Tennessee Valley
  • I know there is an article for the 1985 Election day floods, but could you add more information to the Inland and Mid-Atlantic section? Judging by the current size of the section, it doesn't look like the flood was very severe, other than the damage and death toll.
  • "On October 29, Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards requested that the state's congressional delegation ask President Ronald Reagan for a disaster declaration." - I noticed toward the end that you wikilinked Ronald Reagan. So I think maybe you should wikilink Edwin Edwards, too. Wouldn't you like others to know about what an interesting person Edwards is? :P

  • "Juan moved erratically at first, eventually tracking more steadily to the north-northeast on October 27.[2]" - Maybe you should add a "but" in there, so that there is more of a contrast between Juan's initial erratic movement and then steady path.
  • "On October 31, the storm moved across the Mississippi Delta near Burrwood and accelerated to the northeast,[4][3] influenced by an approaching upper-level trough." - Since this is a new paragraph, you should mention what state Burrwood is in.
  • "just west of Pensacola, Florida with winds of 65 km/h (100 km/h) late on October 31." - Hmm, that's an interesting conversion :P
  • Any preparations for Mississippi?
  • "it dropped over 10 in (250 mm) across much of the southern portion of the state." - 10 inches of what? Sulfuric acid? :P
