Frankly, not a very interesting or unusual hook. It is not uncommon for tropical cyclones to damage ships, even with such numbers. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:55, 21 September 2024 (UTC)- Most storms are just like all other storms, so (while I get that they're a popular topic with a devoted following) there's usually not much to say that will be
perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest
. This one reached category 5 and made landfall so I would assume something unsual happened. If not, then maybe it's just not a good fit for DYK. RoySmith (talk) 22:42, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

🍗TheNuggeteer🍗13:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)- The nominator never addressed this; they have also since received a TBAN from content processes including DYK. I recommend this be rejected unless another user wishes to take conduct. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:08, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Concurring with NLH—run-of-the-mill storm-destruction factoid. Someone might look further into this page for any more-interesting details. (Coincidentally, I'm typing this as Milton inches closer to my area...) --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 11:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Closing as obviously not going anywhere. RoySmith (talk) 01:51, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
