Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #4
editNumber 4, September 3, 2006
The Hurricane Herald
This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list. The WikiProject now has its own IRC channel.
Storm of the month
Typhoon Saomai (known as Typhoon Juan to PAGASA) claimed at least 441 lives and caused over $1.5 billion in damage. After forming on August 4 near Chuuk, the storm brought heavy rain and strong winds to the Marianas, the Philippines, Taiwan and southeastern China. It started to intensify, and reached its official peak with winds of 95 knots (175 km/h, 110 mph) on August 9. The JTWC reported that it peaked as a Category 5 super typhoon the same day, a strength Chinese forecasters described as the most powerful to hit China in 50 years. Saomai maintained that strength until landfall on August 10 and dissipated inland the next day.
Other tropical cyclone activity
There were 16 other tropical cyclones during August, in the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
- In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Chris moved to the north of Puerto Rico before dissipating on August 5 near Cuba.
- Tropical Storm Debby formed near the Cape Verde islands on August 21 but had no effects on land.
- Hurricane Ernesto formed in the Caribbean on August 24 and affected Haiti and Cuba, before making landfalls in Florida and South Carolina. It killed at least 5 people.
- In the east Pacific, Tropical Storm Fabio dissipated on August 3 well away from land.
- Tropical Storm Gilma formed on August 1 and lasted for two days before dissipating.
- Hurricane Hector reached its peak as a Category 2 hurricane on August 18 well away from land.
- Hurricane Ileana became the second major hurricane of the east Pacific season when it reached Category 3 intensity on August 23.
- Hurricane John formed near to Mexico on August 28 and to the northwest near the coast. It prompted a series of warnings from Michoacán to Baja California Sur, where it made landfall in September.
- Hurricane Kristy was briefly a hurricane on August 31, but its proximity to Hurricane John caused it to weaken soon after.
- Hurricane Ioke became the most intense Central Pacific hurricane on record on August 26 with a minimum pressure of 920 mbar. After crossing the dateline and becoming Typhoon Ioke it passed just to the north of Wake Island at Category 4 strength.
- Typhoon Prapiroon (Henry) reached its peak as a minimal typhoon in the South China Sea. It killed 77 people when it made landfall in China.
- Severe Tropical Storm Maria formed on August 4 and threatened Japanese coast.
- Severe Tropical Storm Bopha (Inday) passed over Taiwan as a tropical storm on August 9.
- Tropical Storm Wukong passed over Kyūshū on August 18.
- Tropical Storm Sonamu (Katring) was a minimal storm that was absorbed by Wukong on August 20.
- Tropical Depression 13W formed near Hainan on August 23 and soon made landfall in Guandong.

Tropical cyclone imagery
When uploading an image of a tropical cyclone please
- Download the highest resolution image possible to your computer, not a thumbnail.
- If the image is free, upload it to Commons. In general, only upload to en.wikipedia if it is a Fair Use image. Wherever you upload, follow the instructions.
- Preferably, include a link to the source image, not just the source site.
- If you upload to Commons, add relevant Categories to the image, see the Commons category scheme. Make sure at least one category you add is the storm's category.
The following is a good image description:

New 1933 Article
editUser:Mitchazenia/Hurricane Eleven (1933). Tell me what you think about it so far.Mitchazenia 19:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- I havent gotten a lot of info yet-thats why most of it is the same.Mitchazenia 22:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- I never planned on publishing it yet, any reason why you keep bringing it up. Lots more impact added-i can tell you that-i'm finding more info about this storm then for Emmy...odd.Mitchazenia 19:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think its ready now to tell you the truth. I've given all the basics plus more-grammar wise-i think its fine.
- There's really one thing about Pre-1950 article naming. I think i'd rather name all Pre-1950 storms with their numbers, if the number of the storm is known. Some of the names we have are really nutsy & very little creativeness.Mitchazenia 16:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ok. Do u think its ready for publishing? The name is 1933 Brownsville Hurricane now. There's little grammar error. To me its ready.Mitchazenia 19:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Updation: (The striked things are the completed ones)
# The lede should be longer and not as repetitive. "It affected Cuba as a Category 2 hurricane and affected Mexico and Texas as a Category 3 hurricane killing 179 people." You shouldn't repeat so much in one sentence (you used affected twice and Category X hurricane twice). Expand it to two paragraphs, at least.
- You should cite the NHC's Deadliest Atlantic hurricanes, not Weatherunderground, for the casualties.
# Are the numerous pressure reports important in the storm history? Typically, the way to measure the hurricane's strength is with its maximum sustained winds. Very few people use pressure, especially when saying useless things like "At the time, Eleven was the strongest storm of the season untill the next storm became the strongest at 948 mbar".
# You can't call the hurricane "Eleven". It had no name. Therefore, you'll have to call it "the hurricane" or something like that.
# What does this mean? "in Hidalgo County, Mercedes" Hidalgo County, Mercedes is not a place. Furthermore, it's not needed. "The hurricane made landfall just to the north of Brownsville" will suffice.
# "The system rapidly weakened as it moved through southern Texas and northeastern Mexico, and dissipated within 24 hours of making landfall over the mainland, over "The Borderline" which is the border of Mexico and Texas. The thirty-fifth and final advisory was released when Eleven was a minimal tropical storm status of 40 mph winds." You're trying waaay too hard to extend the article. The first sentence is useless, inaccurate, and poorly worded after the word "landfall". "The Borderline"? Why would you put it in quotes, and why would you include it? The term is very unofficial, and it's already implied the hurricane dissipated in northeastern Mexico. The next sentence very inaccurate. How do you know it had 35 advisories on it? For your information, the Weather Bureau issued advisories for hurricanes twice a day, and their best tracks were later extrapolated and interpolated based on more research.
- In the preparations section, you should include when the Weather Bureau issued hurricane warnings.
# The impact section is poorly made. You should organize the impact by area, not just random collections of sentences. You need a source for "Many weak buildings were destoyed, most of them at Harlingen, Texas." Again, you use Hidalgo County, Mercedes. Typically, one uses a City, X County format. "Many businessmen who expected more severe damage were angry with the meteorologist in charge of the Corpus Christi station, though the National Weather Bureau assured the preparations were needed and saved lives. 90 percent of the citrus crop was destroyed in LRGV." needs a source. What is LRGV? You need to explain acronyms in articles and expect the user to know what they mean. It seems like the "many businessmen" part isn't impact... more like aftermath. Try and find more aftermath to make a section for it.
# The trivia section should be removed. Trivia is not needed for hurricane articles. The first "trivia" fact, "The hurricane became was the fifth and final storm of the 1933 season to hit Texas, a record held on for 73 years." is very vague, incorrect, and sourceless. Taking a quick look at the best track, it was the only hurricane to hit Texas in the year, along with two tropical storms. The other trivia fact, "Hurricane Eleven ranks 10th on the list of most intense hurricanes to enter the Gulf Coast with the minimum pressure of 949 mbar (28.03 inHg). It is behind Betsy (1965), Dennis (2005), Ivan (2004), Frederic (1979), Allen (1980), Celia (1970), Audrey (1957), Opal (1995), Rita (2005), Carla (1961), Katrina (2005), Camille (1969) & several unnamed storms." is incorrect and important as well. Taking a quick look, it is twentieth on the list. Something in twentieth place doesn't deserve a mention.
Mitchazenia 16:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I say a separate article is needed for this storm as thre is way, WAY TOO MUCH infomation in that storms section in the seasonal article. Storm05 18:22, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Australians???
editHello. Just wondering if you know of any Australian users who contribute to cyclone articles (apart from me, of course)? I feel lonely being the only one! hahaha By the way, you should archive this talk page as it is far too long. RaNdOm26 09:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Mediterranean storm.. right now?
editLook in the Med. Looks like a current storm storm to me! →Cyclone1→ 20:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Chat link
editI don't have a burning urge to chat anymore than I do on Wikipedia, but I'll keep the link in mind. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 22:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Its my new article and its to me really descriptive. I hope you like it.Mitchazenia 20:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well now it looks a lot better. Thanks to Chacor also, the earliest i could find was 1527 up to 2006's John. Now look at it.Mitchazenia 22:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
:S
editI don't know if I should be asking you this, but I am questioning Chacor's recent behaviour towards me. He claims that it is OK to treat people unfairly, which I think is very ridiculous. He continues on reverting my responses, and he says he has not once being uncivil. This is being disrespectful and discourteous. I want you to consider this please, because I feel that I am being tricked. RaNdOm26 09:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Original reply from me removed. IMO this situation is now closed and resolved. – Chacor 13:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know, I am still sort of pretty mad with all those things that had happened (it was A LOT of things). I'd say let time flow on. RaNdOm26 13:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Hink, I found some info on Hurricane Keith for its second landfall in Mexico; however, I don't know where to find the currency/inflation converter to update the infobox. Any help? Titoxd(?!?) 03:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. The thing is, the article is now going to be Mexico-heavy, as the source includes a ton of detail, is detailed by state, and I've only gotten to the first one! Titoxd(?!?) 03:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- The impact is done, so mind having a look at it? Titoxd(?!?) 04:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Grr
editGrr. How about next time, check the talk page for more info? Least you could have done; then you'd have realised I already had something going. – Chacor 03:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not the most pleased to say the least. Now the subpage is useless. Thanks a lot. :/ – Chacor 03:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Saw that you started this article. I'm working on expanding it, but where'd you get the PAGASA names from? At least one ref I have conflicts your list, apparently TD-04W was named "Deling" by PAGASA but the list in the article says "Diging". – Chacor 15:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. I've found refs from ReliefWeb as well as the University of Hong Kong, so they should help. – Chacor 15:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello...
editI was thinking of beginning an article on Hurricane Alberto (2000). I did see the agreement of merging the article in the talk page, but that was nearly a year ago. Could you please tell me if it's now okay to create an article now? I know that the storm had little impact, but it does not matter when the storm existed or whatsoever.

Is this supposed to be right? Also isnt Super Typhoon Opal's winds a record at 195 mph.1998's Mitchazenia (joking) 16:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- 1964 - JTWC says 39 storms. They're official (FWC), so use 39. – Chacor 16:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hurricane Gordon two storms theory
editI was intrigued by this topic when I saw it on Gordon's talk page. I made a detailed analysis you might want to read:
Based on my observations using the GIBBS imagry, it appears that Gordon was one storm. At one point north of Cuba, it does appear as though the system has two LLCCs. However, looking farther back, there doesn't seem to be any other systems active in the southwestern Atlantic until Gordon gets there. Once Gordon gets there, it seems to interact with a trough moving off the east coast of the United States. That trough shows up quite clearly in this reverse infrared image as that smaller black mass off the Carolinas north of Gordon's outer bands. Gordon had a broad circulation as it was and when it hit Cuba, weakened, and interated with that trough [1], the circulation became elongated from the northeast to the southwest [2]. This caused the storm to appear as though it had two centers. When the trough became less of an influence [3], Gordon's circulation consolidated [4]. That is my hypothesis, based on my analysis of the satellite imagry. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 22:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Ref at Hurricane Erika (2003)
editHey, in the Impact section of Hurricane Erika (2003), you have a ref (currently numbered 12) named "mns", but that's not connected with any existing reference. What's that reference supposed to be? Thanks! —AySz88\^-^ 22:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #5
editThe Hurricane Herald
This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list. The WikiProject has its own IRC channel.
Storm of the month
Hurricane Ioke is the most intense hurricane on record in the Central Pacific. After forming on August 19 to the south of Hawaii, Ioke moved to the northwest and hit Johnston Atoll as a Category 2 hurricane. It strengthened further as it moved to the west, reaching Category 5 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale three times, twice in the Central Pacific and once in the Western Pacific. After the storm entered the Western Pacific it directly hit Wake Island. The storm finally became extratropical on September 7 but its extratropical remnants affected Alaska. Overall damage from Hurricane Ioke was light.
Other tropical cyclone activity
- 4 hurricanes formed in the Atlantic: Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Gordon, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Isaac. Florence affected Bermuda and Newfoundland, and Gordon had effects in the Azores and Europe. Isaac is currently forecast to affect Newfoundland as an extratropical storm.
- The east Pacific saw three hurricanes and a tropical storm develop. Hurricane John and Hurricane Lane were both major hurricanes which hit Mexico, whilst Hurricane Kristy and Tropical Storm Miriam stayed clear of land. In addition, two tropical depressions formed in the Central Pacific.
- There were 4 typhoons in west Pacific during September. Typhoon Shanshan, Typhoon Yagi and Typhoon Xangsane formed in the west Pacific and Typhoon Ioke entered the basin from the east. Shanshan killed at least 9 people in Japan and Typhoon Xangsane, which is still active, killed at least 72 in the Philippines.
- Two tropical cyclones formed in the North Indian Ocean during September. Severe Cyclonic Storm Mukda formed in the Arabian Sea but did not affect land and Tropical Cyclone 05B formed in the Bay of Bengal before making landfall in India. However, the deadliest tropical system of September was a depression in the Bay of Bengal that killed more than 170 people in Bangladesh.

HurricaneCraze32 aka Mitchazenia 17:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Shrunk the storm history-leaving out some of the too detailed information.
- Reworded part of Preparations.
- Impact a little longer. HurricaneCraze32 aka Mitchazenia 21:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Found more impact. Now how does it look?HurricaneCraze32 aka Mitchazenia 16:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well added more about the tornadoes. Well would four paragraphs of impact for Florida matter, because that's what I have.Mitchazenia 2006 19:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well. Now the 2nd and 3rd impact sections have been combined. Think the two beginning paragraphs in the storm history should be in its own section.Mitchazenia 2006 19:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well shrunk storm history-though the subtropical depression part isn't till the final paragraph.Mitchazenia 2006 19:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well ref'd all-can't figure out the cite web, so i used regular citations. I got a compliment on the talk page about the article. Is it ready?Mitchazenia V3.0 23:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
1933AHS
editWell, I've given it a stronger copyediting now. However, there's a few things to fix, but that I don't really have the time to do. For example, you have to remove all of the abbreviations in the references. While we understand what HPC stands for, most readers don't, so we need to make sure to spell it out within <ref> calls. Then, how can a hurricane cause 5000 deaths and 184 deaths at the same time? That didn't make much sense, so you should double-check that. Check the edit history for other examples. Also, a reading by someone who isn't familiar with the subject could help; I'll ask for it, but you could try too. Finally, reference the ACE table somehow. Nilfanion said you could reference the best track, yet it hasn't been done... Titoxd(?!?) 06:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
What do you think?
editIve made the Northeast Airlines Flight 946 article, and i want to know if its good enough. Storm05 15:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
2005 ACE
editHaven't been here for a while. Anyway, I waited two months to see if those guys saying subtropical ACE is not counted by NOAA could prove. They didn't. I recently did an ACE Excel Spreadsheet showing ACE of all Storms of TS or higher, for all times tropical and subtropical. How do I pos5t the spreadsheet on here? --Lionheart Omega 23:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Cyclone that absorbed Nicolas
editIt might be worthy for inclusion into the rainfall climatology...though there wasn't much rain with the low. I could look into it. Are you thinking of putting an "other storms" section to that season? Thegreatdr 15:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

2004 storms still at Start: reanalysis
editI'd like you to reanalyze the following five 2004 storms that, for the most part, I wrote and all are currently at Start-class in a self-decision: Danielle, Earl, Hermine (that one you wrote but I published), Karl and Lisa. Since we have different standards, I'd like to get a better look at the situation and find spots for improvement. CrazyC83 19:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- I added some to each of the pages, but I still don`t think I have enough to move them upwards. Feel free to make additions yourself or suggest them for group improvements. (Some 2005 articles also need them; only 2003 has EVERY storm up to at least B-class, plus a depression to boot) CrazyC83 05:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Done for Danielle and Earl. Hopefully I will get to the other three tomorrow. CrazyC83 04:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Karl and Lisa have been rewritten. CrazyC83 03:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks anyway. I might put them up for GAC and see what happens. (Although there is a major backlog in there) CrazyC83 04:01, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

editI gave up on my Beryl sandbox. But, how do I get rid of the previous edit history? Or is that permanent? →Cyclone1→ 15:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Not quite sure what's next. Maybe something from the EPAC, depends how much info there is on it. →Cyclone1→ 15:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Very true. Yea that sounds like a good idea. I'll see what I can do to some exsisting articles. Thanks. →Cyclone1→ 16:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- One more quick qquestion. Should I edit the article directly on the namespace or click "edit this page" and copy and paste everything to my sandbox and work on it there? →Cyclone1→ 16:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah that's what I thought. →Cyclone1→ 16:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fabiannp2.JPG
editThis file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Fabiannp2.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nilfanion (talk) 15:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: My "fan"
editThanks for letting me know - I blocked him indef for abusive sockpuppetry (he was a sock of another user I blocked for having an inappropriate username). --Coredesat 01:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Re: Planning on making
editThanks, I'll do that. I believe this isn't the first time Storm05 and I have had article creation difficulties. Something happened with TD11 a while back, but now it won't happen again thanks to that page. →Cyclone1→ 19:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Gah! He took Otis, too. That was my next choice... Lol. →Cyclone1→ 20:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, but it almost did, being that it was a category two close to land and all. But I wouldn't have even begun to think about creating an Otis article without making sure there was enough info. And, judging by what he has so far, there isn't. →Cyclone1→ 20:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I, uh, really hope he doesn't, unless he finds a goldmine of info (which seems unlikely). But, it's been proven before, that if, somehow, you can find a lot of info, anything's possible. →Cyclone1→ 20:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah. Obviously, neither am I. →Cyclone1→ 20:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Lol. Yeah, I guess. I guess I only choose storms that are completely void of all info. (11, Beryl) →Cyclone1→ 20:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Which the exact reason I think I'm gonna stick to revamping some articles for a while. →Cyclone1→ 20:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- No chance you could assess Marco for me? to me all it needs is refing and more impact possibly.Mitchazenia V3.0 20:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Something you may like to see...
editHere is an awesome site. In case you haven't seen it, it's a new gallery from the NCDC of tropical cyclone movies, birth to death, since 1983. You can't just click it and see it, because it send's you to a Quicktime page that doesn't work anymore. You need to right click the link > Save link/target as... > chose an area to save it > click open. It sould work. It's worth it. If you don't like my instructions, there's a better discription on the page. Just click "troubleshooting." Just in case you wanted to know. →Cyclone1→ 21:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't it awesome?! Atlantic storms, yea that's great, but storms from EVERY BASIN?! That's just awesome! →Cyclone1→ 21:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Newspaper archives
editHi. I am asking about the news archive website that you discovered recently. What things does it cover? How much info is there? RaNdOm26 07:46, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- I can't find the question and i got everything fixed. What's the AP's PD for images?Mitchazenia V5.0 17:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- The real problem is that everyone is getting unilaterall on article making which is bad and spits on of what this community is and the purpose of the community. Storm05 14:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
