Could you please name the source for this map? --bender235 (talk) 01:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I saw your message and I added the source. The tracks are my own work (based on known information) overlaid onto Google Earth. The Google logo is in the image but I also credited them. Thanks for pointing that out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CycloneSteve2 (talkcontribs) 03:46, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
What is "known information"? --bender235 (talk) 11:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
To be more specific, known information would be the references on the page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1780_Atlantic_hurricane_season). I'm new to this and I did not intend on breaking any protocol. I'll be happy to edit the image information again if needed.
No problem. I added it. By the way, I didn't meant to be harsh or something. --bender235 (talk) 21:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
No worries. You didn't sound harsh at all, you are just doing your job. Thanks for the update. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CycloneSteve2 (talkcontribs) 05:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
I think your map is incorrect, tho. As far as I know, Solano's Hurricane did not cross the Atlantic, but dissipated somewhere over Georgia. See also Emanuel's Divine Wind. --bender235 (talk) 22:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
My reference for the end point of Solano's Hurricane came from the Cheoweth paper which is referenced many times throughout the Atlantic climatology and is found at http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/Chenoweth/. For the storm known as Solano's Hurricane, Chenoweth lists an endpoint at 44.5N latitude, 42.28W longitude which implies that it moved across the southeastern US and into the Atlantic as I showed.
