 * Come on! This can't still be a stub. Hurricanehink 02:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Obviously not. I was just busy editing the article! Jdorje 02:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Ah, just checking. Good work with the little things, especially references. Hurricanehink 02:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Categories
This article needs some "Hurricanes in XXX" categories for its caribbean strikes. But there are so many caribbean locations, I find it hard to make all these categories work together properly. — jdorje (talk) 18:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

More Deaths
My school nurse lived somewhere in the caribbean durring this storm and she claims she say hundreds of people dead, it is posible they never learned of these deaths? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silence Knight (talk • contribs)

 * I doubt it. It's been a long time since a hurricane caused hundreds of deaths in the eastern Caribbean. In addition, FEMA is usually very good with death totals. I doubt they would miss a few hundred people. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:23, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * FEMA? What would they have to do with it hink? I suspect that your nurse was talking about was a different storm.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Isn't FEMA the agency who inspects damage on the U.S. Virgin islands? That is where a lot of Luis's damage occurred. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * A lot of Luis's damage was in the Virgin islands? Not according to the article or the TCR... Now you've got me confused Hink--Nilfanion (talk) 16:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I thought more islands belonged to the Virgin islands than there actually are. OK, so I would guess the respective countries' governments wouldn't miss 100 people from the death tolls. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Substandard grammar and improper or unsourced writing
Somebody edited with dubious claims on Hurricane Luis, one claimimg a 98 foot monster wave happened in connections to Hurricane Luis. Also, whosoever edited this article was using questionable grammar, and some of the edits may be vandalism or dubious edits at the least. Can someone please cleanup Hurricane Luis-the grammar, substandard edits and unsource claim are unneeded and are making this article appear nonreliable. 173.26.80.178 (talk) 00:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I can personally attest to the tidal wave. My submarine was coming out of Halifax the night the thing rolled over us. It knocked us 150 feet underwater with our upper sail hatch open. We took on about 10,000 gallons of water. I've never been so seasick in my life. It was a miracle no one died.Daveamee (talk) 04:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)daveamee

Re-rate
Can someone re-rate this article. I doubt this article is really a stub, it too long to be a stub and it also has too many references to be a stub. Anyone agree to re-rate the article? --12george1 (talk) 02:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The article is still severely short. There is really no way it can be considered a start-class article until more sections are expanded. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 02:54, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

1,000 people drowning
I removed the second part of the sentence:

"The hurricane killed nine people (two in the French side and seven in the Dutch side), and possibly 1,000 people drowned in the lagoon according to some sources."

The statement is vague, there is no source given, and it contradicts the death toll in the article. If there is a source, please feel free to put it back in the article.  Kachyna (talk)  00:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Winds
Hello. I was wondering about the original intensity of Hurricane Luis. There's this site called "Stormpulse" that I go to often, and I was going through Luis' track. The intensity they have is 150mph winds and 935 millibars pressure. I just wanted to make sure that y'all knew about this, because I don't like Wiki to be wrong. Thanks, --Ryder 03:11, 15 August 2011 (UTC) talk
 * Nope, the TCR has 140 mph as the peak. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Excuse the extremely long revival, but he’s actually correct. Luis’s TCR does indeed state it was 150/935, and we were oblivious to the fact for several years. That link is botched and I don’t think that was the correct one. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 19:17, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * That used to be the correct TCR link but NHC decided a few years ago to change them all the TCR links to PDF's from HTML. Anyway, I am agreed that 130 kts is the correct intensity, but I am pinging since it seems very odd that he would make such a mistake.Jason Rees (talk) 23:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Err .Jason Rees (talk) 23:44, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I spoke to Hink offline and he was shocked and couldn't quite believe that he had made above - nice catch .Jason Rees (talk) 12:01, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I just double-checked HURDAT2 and it gives 120 kts as Luis's peak winds, contradicting the 130 kts given by the TCR. Which should we treat as correct? --Dylan620 (talk) 17:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The best track trumps the TCR, so looks like I was correct all along! Until the best track is updated when reanalysis gets there, I think we should go with 120 knots, unless can shed some light. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk )  17:58, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The BT only trumps the TCR at certain times and in this instance, after reading the TCR and several discussions, I don't think it should. This is because the 120 kts was the operational peak while the NHC justifies 130 kts in the TCR.Jason Rees (talk) 19:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair point (and I wish I could've included some emojis in my previous comment, was only having fun) - I emailed NHC about the issue, we'll see what they say. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:58, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

I could e-mail Chris about Luis and see if it's a transcription error of some sort. The TCR should not be at odds to HURDAT2. When this occurs, the TCR is normally correct. Thegreatdr (talk) 03:50, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Intensity at landfall
Hi, I noticed that the storm track image and article text appear to be contradictory. The text says that the hurricane made landfall in Newfoundland at category one intensity, just before extratropical transition. However, the track image appears to show Luis making landfall at category 3 intensity as a extratropical cyclone. Can anyone verify which is correct? Thanks, Gex4pls (talk) 19:25, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

More impact, better intro. Jdorje 21:31, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * added more impact and fixed intro. Storm05 14:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Failed GA
I failed the GA nomination based on the following review.

 * Well-written - Fail: Two typos, and overall prose is poor
 * Factually accurate - Pass, although there are some inconsistencies. Why does the NHC say 8 deaths, but another site say 13? Finding those other deaths would help.
 * Broad - Weak fail: Most of it is merely statistics. The preparations section only includes one sentence about actual preparations. Try not to be so listy in places. The watches/warnings section and much of the impact merely lists some facts about the storm. Was there any actual damage on Martinique or Guadeloupe? You go a bit into some damage in USVI, but for a billion dollar storm it is not comprehensive enough. Have you considered NCDC for Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands? Economic impact should be merged with impact, as well. Furthermore, there are no metric units, which is a standard of the Wikiproject for articles greater than B class.
 * Non-POV - Pass, a little hard to fail in a hurricane article.
 * Stable - Pass
 * Images - Pass - have you searched through FEMA's image archive? IIRC there are some good damage images of Marilyn in PR and USVI

Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Christoofar

Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia!

However, with your article Object cesspool, I'm not really sure that this is a good topic for Wikipedia. Wikipedia tends to frown on so-called original research (see No Original Research) -- and this doesn't seem to be an established anti-pattern. Perhaps you could consider adding it to the portland pattern repository PPR:AntiPatternsCatalog and seeing if they agree there?

Although the Object pool article is good! :-) Oh, and one small thing, you can sign comments on talk pages with four tildes ~ (I'm not sure if you're aware of that). Tenbaset 01:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Hurricane Opal

Peak Rainfall in Alabama??
I highly doubt 8 inches in Evergreen was the maximum for the state of Alabama. I lived in Andalusia, Alabama (30 miles east of Evergreen) when Opal came roaring through. I distinctly remember our city's rain gage registering over 16 inches of rainfall. The rainfall chart on this page backs up my claim, as Andalusia lies inside the 15+ inches border (purple) in south central Alabama, plus the creek that flows about a quarter-mile from the edge of my back yard, was in our back yard that night-- that doesn't happen with only 8 inches of rainfall. Though if you are only considering actual NOAA weather stations, Evergreen is the only one in this part of the state, and was the closest NOAA weather site to Opal. Andalusia sustained a direct hit by the eastern eyewall, while Evergreen passed through the dry, western side of the storm relatively scott-free. The weather stations are too sparsely populated in south Alabama to get an accurate account of maximum rain totals for the whole area.

Likewise with wind speeds. I Highly doubt 90 mph was the peak sustained wind-- Ft. Rucker is another 45 miles east of Andalusia, and like Evergreen, was relatively unscathed-- and totally untouched by the eyewall winds. It's highly unlikely that the top wind speed was felt in Ft. Rucker. Our anemometer broke at 118mph, though it might have been a gust.

About the evacuaton: It was an extreme debacle. I saw pictures in the news paper about a week or so later showing Interstate 65 packed with cars in the middle of the storm. People had to ride out the storm in their car-- some were even driving north in the south-bound lanes. The day before landfall in Andalusia, we weren't even able to get the last bit of our non-essential supplies ourselves because the traffic on our bypass was at a standstill, and we couldn't get to Walmart. Our sister city, Opp, reported the same phenomenon.

If you want to ask any questions about it, give me an e-mail at messickc@gmail.com 74.181.44.227 (talk) 05:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Christopher Messick, Opal Survivor.

 * Indeed, I believe your suspicions. This site confirms a rainfall maxima of 19.42 inches in Alabama, so the article may not be entirely accurate in regarding those maxima statements. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 05:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

References, more impact, better structure. Jdorje 21:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

low pressure
919mb was the lowest ever recorded in a non cat 5 system? Gloria had that same pressure. It doesn't even mention Gloria. I'm on it. Cyclone1 14:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, I changed the article to represent that the NHC says. Opal actually made it down to 916, so that makes Opal #1. Hurricanehink 12:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

evacuation
On Dr. Jeff Masters web log, it is mentioned that "The evacuation for Hurricane Opal in 1995 was a debacle, with thousands of people stranded on highways as the hurricane struck." It would be nice to have something about this in the article. TimL 18:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Here's a good link describing the evacuation. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, this should be mentioned. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Improvement
I improved Opal a little. I added much to the impact and storm history as well as a few references. I improved the intro too. Still a B class? (probably) →Cycl   one1 → 04:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * For a storm of this calibur, I don't think it is even a B class. There's no inline sourcing, the sections are fairly small, and there's not even a preparations or aftermath section. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I've downgraded it to Start-class; it is way too short and there is too little in the Impact section, plus too few references. CrazyC83 17:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Sterling, VA NWS report on Opal - this could probably be used. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Lots of information and inline sources have been added. Perhaps subsidiary impact articles could be added as has been suggested. Given the extensive amount of information compiled neatly and concisely with inline referencing, I'm upgrading this article to B-Class. -- § Hurricane E  RIC  archive 01:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane intensity
This hurricane was a cat3 or a cat5? Graphics show cat3 while the article says cat5.

This part makes no sense
In the first 2 paragraphs:

On the following day, Roxanne turned west-northward, where it promptly intensified into a hurricane. As Roxanne headed generally westward, it began to rapidly deepen, and reached Category 3 intensity less than 24 hours after becoming a hurricane. Shortly thereafter, Roxanne made landfall near Cozumel, Mexico at its peak intensity, which caused severe damage.

Roxanne rapidly Intensify while traversing the Yucatan Peninsula, and it emerged into the Bay of Campeche on October 12, the storm was a Category 3 hurricane. Further weakening occurred, and Roxanne was downgraded to a tropical storm later that day.

Strength Over Land
I lived in Raleigh, NC at the time Fran came inland and we were told by news media that when Fran hit the coast she was at Category 3 strength and that by the time she came inland as far as Raleigh, she was still a Category 1 hurricane, and only downgraded to Tropical Storm strength after she passed into Virginia.

Could be a B at this point but I left it at Start. Needs more structure, impact pics, more impact, aftermath/recovery. Jdorje 03:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I got more impact for everywhere it hit, and more pics. Can't find too much more... Where in particular needs more structure? Hurricanehink 21:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Well if we could get more impact info it would be good to have multiple sections under impact. The next thing to do is probably inline sources, however. Jdorje 22:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I changed them to inline refs...very easy. The history section needs some refs too (though maybe it all comes from the tcr). Jdorje 23:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Good news, it does all come from the NHC report. Hurricanehink 23:23, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Deaths
It looks to me like 21 deaths is a misreading of the TCR, and the actual value is 39. — jdorje (talk) 05:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Biggest problem is confused structure. Is cuba impact covered in the impact section or the United States section? Jdorje 21:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll do this one next. Here's some impact pictures.
 * Dominican Republic
 * Family bathing in river- Debatable, but shows that what they had to do due to polluted water.
 * Coral Reef
 * House falling from rainfall
 * Mississippi Pictures

 * The Caribbean is done! It's getting there, well... slowly. This could eventually become an FA, IMO, based on the amount of information on it. So I don't lose it, here's a link about southern Florida evacuation orders and impact. Hurricanehink 03:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow, this one's getting big. I haven't read through this whole thing yet (I'll wait until you're done), but just glancing through it looks like there's room for more pictures. — jdorje (talk) 04:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

 * 100% right about pictures. This is just a first run through. Cuba and Hispaniola, in particular, need pics. Hurricanehink 12:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Added metric conversions. I know it is not a start class, but how much more does it need for A class? Hurricanehink 16:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's probably at or close to or even past A-class by now. Are you done with your edits?  If so I'll give it a run-through.  I do still think it needs more pictures though.  To bump it to A-class we just nominate it on the wikiproject-talk page, we'll get a few more eyes on it. Probably EBrown will jump right in and upgrade it.  We should also start working on FA-class for Okee, Floyd, and Georges hurricanes.  After the peer review (completed for Okee, in progress for floyd) I guess we just nominate it.  Even if it fails we're sure to get more feedback. — jdorje (talk) 19:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm done my run through. Hurricanehink 19:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I gave it a full copyedit read-through run. It is extraordinarily complete and well-referenced. It might be too detailed in some places...it's 36k long now, which is okay, but if we add more we should cut down some of the detail (particularly in the U.S. sections) to keep it around 35k. There were a couple of places where I added tcunits; probably these just need to have "(1998 USD)" added but you'll know for sure. Check out my changes at this link if you want to verify them or to see what I did (I added &nbsp; in a lot of places, which is used to control wrapping to make numbers or short phrases more readible). Also, I still think we need more pictures. — jdorje (talk) 20:47, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, there are now a few red links. Some of these may need to be fixed, but they shouldn't be removed - some may just be for articles that haven't been written yet (e.g., Artibonite Valley). — jdorje (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Fixed USD's, and removed or fixed the red links. The only one I left was Artibonite Valley, which could be written eventually (I know they all could, but this one I felt was more important). Hurricanehink 21:01, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * New Orleans, LA report - If not done so already, this should be used. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:29, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Coral reef

 * Here's an idea for someone who wants to help. I am too lazy to do it, but someone can do a section about the coral reef in the impact section. In Florida, 36 colonies were lost, according to here, and this page shows pictures. Here is a page about what occurrs during a hurricane's passage, and this page shows how the coral was lost in the Lesser Antilles. Such a section might get a little boring and a little hard to do, but it could be part of a broader Environmental Damage section, which could include if animals were killed from the flooding in Mississippi or other damage to the environment. I'm not sure if the crop damage should be included there, as it all fits into the overall damage to an area. However, if there's enough info, someone could make a section about damage to mother nature. Hurricanehink 21:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Floyd also has an "Environmental effects" section in the Aftermath. This sounds like a similar thing. — jdorje (talk) 22:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Info on evacuations

 * For more on evacuations, shelters, and traffic flow, you can go here. I can't go through the 100 pages of information, but it has good info on the hurricane if anyone wants to add it. Hurricanehink 00:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

images
There's a whole collection of satellite images here. — jdorje (talk) 01:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * There's probably enough images, but good find nevertheless. Hurricanehink 03:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The image count is probably adequate or excessive even. I would like to see a bit more variety in the satellite pics. I mean 3 IR ones and no visible? I'd say one of each is much more appropriate.--Nilfanion (talk) 10:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Never thought of it, but visibles would look very nice in the article. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Next TODO
I bumped this to A-class. Taking it to FA-class will be a lot of work since it's such a big article. For one thing, the quality of citations needs to be improved (see Hurricane Floyd for sample style). — jdorje (talk) 00:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Added HPC Rainfall link. It has "updated" information when compared to the TPC report on Georges, due to the later availability of more complete rainfall information from Puerto Rico. Decided not to include rainfall images for Puerto Rico and the United States into the article, due images remark from above. User Talk:thegreatdr 19:49, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The article could do with splitting the impact section into Preparations, Impact and Aftermath. It may need a bit of aggressive editing to reduce the length slightly too.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Big yes on the last one. I split up the preparations, and I'll have to find some aftermath. The preparations seems to be a little too long, so that's where a good cleanup/removing is needed. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * On a separate note, I found this, and from a quick glance, it may be useful. I didn't read it, but those more familiar with the storm can tell me... Tito xd (?!?) 03:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I did some copy-editing to this one...this didn't require it as much. However, the preparations section needs a rewrite; it mentions the evacuation patterns of the people in Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle, and while that's great, it essentially says the same thing for all three of them. It could say the same thing in less than half the words. Other than that it looks great to me (although I really think it could use a visible image). bob rulz 01:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Should this article be split up by region, similar to Hurricane Isabel? The two first ones should be Effects of Hurricane Georges in Puerto Rico and Effects of Hurricane Georges in Mississippi, though other U.S. states could probably get it as well (Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana). If that is done, it would allow for this article to not be as long. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I noticed you used that Isabel pic in all the articles. If you're interested I made this one of Georges in about the same proportions :link. I'm still looking for some really good landfall pics over Mississippi and Puerto Rico (as well as Hispaniola and Cuba). Good kitty 20:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks pretty good, but is there one of it at its peak intensity? (just curious) Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The only one I could find was this, but it was cut down the middle. Also, the B&W one in the article infobox and the AVHRR I put on the season page are both borderline category 4 hurricanes. Nothing else seems to exist. Good kitty 22:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Aww, that would've been nice. What about that program you use? Is there an image of Georges at that time period? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I checked, but there was nothing there. The pic in the infobox isn't so bad because I forgot that it was still a powerful cat4 at the time. This thing lost its eye almost as soon as it peaked, just before it took a trip to one Caribbean island after another. It never really got a chance to reorganize. I found a good pic of it at landfall, although it was extremely corrupt. I fixed it up a bit and put it on the main page. Good kitty 03:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
Given how much more work is needed, I propose it be dropped to GA class. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

GA Review
A good clean-up should fix it. Mit ch contribs 20:44, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

GA/R
I must disagree with the delisting of this article, as being "clean" is not in the GA criteria, and I can find no major fault with the article from a GA standpoint besides the odd "other notes" section which should probably be incorporated into the rest of the article if necessary. That alone doesn't seem to me to be a good reason for this article to not be a GA, and therefore, i'm filing a WP:GA/R over this article. Homestarmy 23:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Listen, I meant to drop it to GA, but another user, who focuses on the same topic suggested B, so I took his advice. Sorry if it sets you off. If you want, i will have it quickly back to GA. Mit ch contribs 00:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I just saw this on the log was all, its nothing personal, there's no hurry. For all I know, I might be wrong about this article, I just don't see why is all. Homestarmy 00:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Well let me talk to the user again, and besides when my project is done, I hope this to be a FA. Its certainly not A class like it was. Mit ch contribs 00:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Following the GA review that restored GA status to the article, I've bumped it up to its previous status as A-Class. The only two things that may be considered fixable are the trivia section (which can be merged/deleted either way) and the last few references that need a fact-check. Overall, everything else looks ok. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 07:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

GA/R results
In a 6 to 0 unanimous decision, arrived after several editors who brought up points I didn't notice agreed that the problems were solved, this article has been relisted as a GA. While there was one recommendation to maintain B status until it was ready, it seems pretty clear to me from the comments afterwards that it is indeed quite ready.

More storm history (gasp!) and better intro. Jdorje 21:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Here's a website with some ecological info. Hurricanehink
 * Here's information with a lot of statistics. There's just too much data. Hurricanehink

 * DONE!!! Man, that took all day! Is that better? ;-) I think this is one of those storms that could ultimately be a featured article. What's next on the todo list? Hurricanehink 04:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, the content is great here now. It needs a better introduction, and maybe a little more of a "central thread of narrative" through the impact section...though I'm not sure how to do that. Jdorje 21:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks! This is just one of those hurricanes that should have an article quality proportional to its effects. Nice changes you made, and not sure about the impact section. Let's hope this article can ultimately get to FA status. Hurricanehink 22:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * One other problem: there's no info on the canada impact, although canada is listed in the infobox. Jdorje 01:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Got it. Hurricanehink 01:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Very nice, Jdorje. :) I've always described Floyd to friends as "This is what happens when a hurricane dies - it drops all of its moisture at once." Would you say that's an accurate representation? --Golbez 21:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that's about what happened. Fortunately Floyd kept moving as it did so...if it had stopped dead over north carolina things could have been a lot worse.  Other good examples for what happens when a hurricane hits a cold front are Hurricane Hazel and Typhoon Nina.  (Also, it was Hink that did the article rewrite...I was just congratulating him on it.) Jdorje 21:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The USGS link I added to the external links section has a huge amount of data and pictures. Jdorje 08:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

FA?
Maybe, but what more big things can be done? Maybe some pics of the northeast, or other trivia. How much more do we have to do before we can put it up for FAC? Hurricanehink 01:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I want to write some more in the aftermath section about recovery. For instance a news special I saw a couple of weeks ago reported that many homeowners in Washington who decided to rebuild have since filed for bankruptcy, unable to afford the ongoing costs of rebuilding.  However I haven't really found any sources online from which to make a new section about recovery. — jdorje (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, an also we should get it peer-reviewed. — jdorje (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Peer review, that's exactly what I was thinking after I finished typing. How do we go about doing that? One thing I know they're going to say is the pic in the NC flood disaster is too big. I found two interesting articles that might be able to help.

 * Evacuation and More
 * Aftermath
 * Hurricanehink 04:01, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Hmm, I thought that picture was quite appropriate...it pretty much sums up the whole article. The problem is it's directly opposite the rainfall picture, and I don't know where else to put the rainfall pic. — jdorje (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't get me wrong. That picture is great. It is just too big. Maybe it can be switched with the rainfall pic? This way the text will be squished to the left, rather than to the right? Not sure what the best solution is... Hurricanehink 12:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Peer review
After the above discussions I put this up for peer review. Follow this link to add the peer review page to your watchlist. (Hink: Creating a PR is really easy, and explained at WP:PR: just add the template to the talk of the talk page, follow the link and edit the page, then add it to the WP:PR page.) — jdorje (talk) 05:47, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Nice. I'm sure we'll get some good feedback. Hurricanehink 12:38, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Images
There's a whole collection of satellite images here. — jdorje (talk) 01:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * There's probably enough images, but good find nevertheless. Hurricanehink 03:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * There are great aerial photos of Bound Brook here, but I don't know if they are copyrighted.

Retirement
I was about to ask if it was the NHC or the WMO who retired the name, when I saw HurricaneHink had just noticed the same problem and changed it to WMO. But, for older storms the names came from the NHC only, right? Where is the cutoff? At what point did the WMO take over naming? 1979? — jdorje (talk) 22:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Ooh, not exactly sure. I would guess the WMO has been responsible for quite a while, though I have no idea for how long. 1969 was still under the National Hurricane Center's, due to John Hope selecting one of the names for the season (Camille, can verify on the page). I don't know how much after that did the WMO take responsibility, but I would guess sometime before 1999. Hurricanehink 23:06, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Trivia

 * I removed this section from the main article; see the peer review for discussion. — jdorje (talk) 08:37, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

According to snopes.com, Hurricane Floyd has contributed to Internet folklore. The satellite image on the right often erroneously circulates through the Internet with a wide variety of descriptions, usually the most recent devastating hurricane. It has at various times been identified as Hurricane Katrina (which was only a tropical storm at that location in the Atlantic), Hurricane Frances, Hurricane Jeanne, and even the tsunami following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. It is, in fact, Hurricane Floyd in September, 1999. Perhaps the fact that it is such a striking image is the reason it is such a temptation to credit it with being other disasters.

 * Sounds good, but where could we put that awesome picture? Hurricanehink 14:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

FAC todo
A few final improvements and we should FAC this article. One problem is lack of sources for a few places - I added fact to the article; if anyone knows where that information comes from please add the relevant references. — jdorje (talk) 07:52, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * As all of this has been done, I'm FACing it. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 02:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Got it! FA # 6!!!! Hurricanehink 04:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Too many pics
Curtosy of the FAC, one user noted there are too many pictures, and I agree. The North Carolina section, in particular, has 1 too many. Each is useful in its own way. The house one is a keeper, IMO, due to the fact it shows Property damage, something not seen elsewhere in the article. The Greenville Tar River one might be able to go, due to the fact that there is a flooding picture in the Virginia section just paragraphs later. The flood progression is another one that might be able to go, due to the fact there is a big picture describing the flood progression and that the animation isn't very clear. The last one, the flooding along the Tar and Neuse Rivers, is very big. It tells a lot, but the size is a big problem. I'm not saying we should get rid of it, but one picture in the section should be removed, IMO. Hurricanehink 22:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I got rid of the Greenville Tar River pic while you were posting this. It looks much better now. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 22:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed, the North Carolina section looks better. However, the Virginia pic now overlaps, creating some empty space. Hurricanehink 22:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * If just one of the pictures is to go it should be the coastal damage one. — jdorje (talk) 22:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * You think? It is the only one that shows actual coastal damage. Hurricanehink 22:32, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The animated gif Image:Floyd_Rocky_Mount_flooding.gif renders badly... wasn't removing this picture also suggested on the assessments page. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * But there was basically no coastal damage. 90% of the damage was flood damage.  The most important pics are the flood area graphic (the big one) and the greenville flooding (damage in greenville was something like $1b).  Madeline's got a good point that the animated graphic is scaled pretty poorly...maybe that's the one that should go. — jdorje (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * True about coastal damage. I agree, the animation should probably be removed. Hurricanehink 23:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I took it out. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Retirement
Somebody changed the name Floyd in the retirement section into the name Floyd. Previously, some articles used bold in the retirement sections to list storm names, but I have pretty much gotten rid of it (there is no reason for an unrelated name to be bolded). Using italics would be acceptable to me; it's also fine to keep the name without markup or to use "quotes". But we should be consistent throughout all articles. So which should it be? — jdorje (talk) 03:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No reason why it should be bold. Italics are fine. Tito xd (?!?) 05:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Font size for references
NSLE has reverted my font size change to use small font again. Sorry, but I have reverted to normal font again. I do not buy the space argument here. We have enough space here, this is not a paper encyclopedia. I think the space argument does not merit to harm the visually impaired users by using ugly little fonts. Please remember that this encyclopedia is used by people of all sorts of age. Not every user is in his twenties (as a lot of editors here). Please do the visually impaired users a favor. It helps them and me a lot to better read the references. The space saved by using 85% font is very small to merit such a high barrier for those who have problems reading small fonts. I believe the harm done to those who have perfect sight is minor compared to the harm done to those who have problems reading small fonts. Please don't be arrogant to us. Thank you for your careful consideration. --Ligulem 09:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I apologize for being so persistent about the font size. I finally found out that I can define the font of the references for myself in my User:Ligulem/monobook.css. I would recommend to set the 85% font size for the references in Mediawiki:Monobook.css. I have posted a message on this on the tech village pump . Sorry again. --Ligulem 22:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Death Toll?
First and foremost, my compliments to the authors of this page. I think they did a very good job. One thing I was wondering about, however, regards the information on the total death toll from the storm. The page lists 35 deaths in North Carolina, which is the official NHC count, IIRC. However, in Jay Barnes' North Carolina's Hurricane History (3rd edition, ISBN # 0-8078-4969-3), 52 total NC deaths are attributed to Floyd, several of which occurred in the weeks following the storm as flood evacuations were underway. Perhaps the discrepancy of 20 or so deaths is officially what would be called "indirect", but the above book also lists the cause of death for each victim - and the majority of them are flooding deaths. I always thought that "indirect deaths" were generally such things as heart attacks, mishaps during cleanup (such as electrocution), etc., so it seems to me as if the Barnes total ought to be at least mentioned. Certainly his original source (the NC medical examiner) seems authoritative. CapeFearWX 02:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

NWS Reports

 * Melbourne, FL report
 * Raleigh, NC report
 * Mount Holly, NJ report

This is for reference, and info from there should probably be included in the article. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Evacuation History
The article states that Hurricane Rita triggered the largest evacuation in U.S. history. However, I believe Hurricane Gustav (2008) may have actually caused the largest evacuation. Could some one verify this? (Hurricaneguy (talk) 03:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC))
 * Another point not brought up in the article was the evacuation difficulties and lessons experienced during Floyd. Floyd exposed large problems experienced by mass evacuations in Florida and Georgia. And magnified the often-unnecesaary "hysteria" evacuations. In the three FLA 2004 hurricanes, officials pointed at Floyd, and made better decisions on when to order evacuations, and to order them only in key areas. Instead of evacuating 2 million people and clogging highways to a stand-still, they told only people in clear danger areas to leave. And to only go inland enough...not to try to go all the way to Atlanta, for instance. Doctorindy (talk) 16:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point! One example of steps taken in Georgia is the elimination of signalized intersections on the evacuation routes from the Golden Isles.  Eg, St. Simons Island:  there, they replaced two very congested signalized intersections with a 1-way traffic loop and a roundabout.  The roundabout won a Georgia state engineering excellence award. 66.167.45.155 (talk) 18:45, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Also can anyone find a source for state-wide school cancellation in Florida? I know Jeb Bush cancelled school for one day (what a glorious day it was) but I can't find it anywhere. Redsxfenway (talk) 19:16, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Anniversary storm?
I am originally from the Charleston, South Carolina area. When Hurricane Floyd was mentioned, I thought it was kinda interesting. As it turned out, Floyd came almost exactly 10 years to the very day after the disastrous Hurricane Hugo destroyed large parts of the area. Can this be put into the Hurricane Floyd or 1989 Atlantic hurricane season articles? Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 20:32, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's sort of trivial, since Floyd didn't do much damage in South Carolina. If it was 10 years to the day, for example, and someone reputable said it, it might be worth adding, but as it is, I don't think it should be mentioned. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:49, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is a trivial thing to mention. At the time, Hugo was the costliest hurricane in US history. Then, almost exactly 10 years later, another extremely powerful storm threatened to do damage to the area. If nothing else, a brief mention could be added. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 18:55, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * But as I said earlier, Floyd didn't do much to SC. It threatened to hit Florida, but didn't, and never really threatened SC that badly. If you get a source that backs it up, then maybe. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, they appear to have hit five days apart. Thats a bit much for "almost exactly", especially when you consider most bad storms happen in a two month period. 10 years is more arbitrary than it seems. If it was exactly the same day one year apart in the same area, that could warrant mention if it compounded existing damage, but otherwise, this seems a stretch. --Golbez (talk) 19:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Something is weird
Um, so I added up all the deaths from the subarticles(52 TX, 13 PA, 8 NJ, 2 NY, 2 NE), which adds up to 77. But the total death count is 76, and I can assume there were impacts outside of these areas(Bahamas, Maryland.) Can this be fixed please? --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 20:26, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Impact. Jdorje 09:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Better? Now we need pictures. Too tired now, but found a government site located here with some Lenny impact pics. Hurricanehink 04:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I did some copyediting. The article is quite good, the only thing that's really missing is more pictures, and inline sources. Jdorje 05:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Glad you think the article is good :) Pictures are a real pain to find them ending in .gov. I did find a Tripod website that has no copyright status whose images would go nicely on here. Located here, it features images on St. Croix. Are they usable, as there is no copyright symbol anywhere on any of the images or the main page? Hurricanehink 14:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * If there's no copyright symbol you can assume they are copyrighted. They might still be usable under fair use but that's inferior since each usage has to be justified. Jdorje 18:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh yea, how much more to B class? Hurricanehink 17:01, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's surely B-class. I dunno if it's A-class though. — jdorje (talk) 03:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Nah, it's not an A class, though I thought it was a B. Hurricanehink 03:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Good Article nomination has passed
Congratulations! The Good article nomination for has passed. Many thanks to all who were involved in the creation of this article. This article is a little bit on the short side. If it is at all possible, I suggest adding more text and possibly removing one of the destruction images if there is no more text to add. Right now it seems that the images take up more space than the text does. -- SomeStrang  e  r ( t ) 13:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

GA delisting
I have delisted this article from GA status. It still lacks a lot of information. I've managed to find three articles on Lenny from the BBC News archives which contain information not presented here. I'd not be surprised if there was more. Preparations needs a lot more work. – Chacor 09:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with the delisting, but how is it not B class? It provides a good summary of the storm. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Article is incomplete.
 * Cite web formatting.
 * If the article can be saved and more information added (there is a lot out there, really, just look around), and references changed to our preferred cite.php, then yes it'd be B. – Chacor 01:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * ...And? Sure, there can be more information added, but the same goes for Hurricane Charley, Hurricane Frances, Hurricane Jeanne, Hurricane Isabel, Hurricane Juan, and Hurricane Andrew, but they're all B or above. Not all of them have cite web formatting, either. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Get rid of the stub sections here first, and I'll be glad to up to B. As it stands right now an important part of any TC article which had impact, which is preparations, is a stub section. – Chacor 08:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'll agree with you on the start. It needs a good bit more info, and being at start will mean people will recognize that it needs a good bit more work. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

More impact. Jdorje 23:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it almost a B-class? I will write more tomorrow. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 00:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Not even close. A lot of information is needed in each section. Also, there's no preparations and too few sources. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I know. But I just got home; I'll add more to it tonight and tomorrow. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 01:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * How's that? I'm sure there's a little more info, but I think it's B-class. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 19:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Too many citations needed, and not enough existing citations. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There's only 4! That's not that bad, is it? íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 02:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1 is too many unsourced statements for B class. The whole article needs inline sources, simply put. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There; it's a B-class. Finally! 16:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Um, no. You're not allowed to assess your own articles. The whole article needs inline sources, for starters. There's not enough information in the "Rest of Central America" section. What about damage in Mexico? It made landfall as a category 1 hurricane. Surely there is some info on its second landfall. In the future, please don't assess your own articles. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I found good damage photos at http://pso.louisville.edu/capstBeli.html, they are copyrighted...i think. There is a contact list, but I'm too busy to email them. Can someone else do it, or else I'll do it later. They're worthwhile :) íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 23:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * When you have time, you should ask them. I would, but I personally hate the process of putting pics in articles (though I love seeing pics in articles). --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Assessment
This isn't ready for FAC. The storm history section is barely longer than the abbreviated storm history in the lede, and there is little to speak of in the preparations section. The whole article needs a thorough copyedit and the lede probably needs to be rewritten. --Core desat 00:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: Pass
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 22:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Tropical Storm Allison

older entries
It looks like she struck NORTHEAST Texas initially, not SOUTHEAST. Someone may want to verify.

NWS reports

 * Houston, TX report
 * Mobile/Pensacola report
 * Raleigh, NC report
 * Mount Holly, NJ report

If they are not already, these should be included in the article. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of an Allison image?
How/when did this happen? And why? I thought we were quite careful considering the source of images of tropical cyclones. Almost all within the project are from the U. S. government, and free to use. Thegreatdr 20:18, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The image, I believe, was a fair use image from a Dallas office, or something; it had been there since early in the article's history, before we became really careful with images. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Statistics Check?
Under "Impact-Texas" we have the following (emphasis mine):

Houston experienced torrential rainfall in a short amount of time. 6.3 inches (160 mm) fell in just one hour, while 28.5 inches (724 mm) fell in only 12 hours. The six-day rainfall in Houston amounted to 38.6 inches (980 mm).[14] Two-thirds of the bayous and creeks in Harris County experienced 500-year flood events. Houston, which typically receives 46.07 inches (1170 mm) of rain in a year, experienced 35.7% of its expected total in the first nine days of June.[1]

If the yearly average is 46.07", and the 6 day rainfall is 38.6", shouldn't the % of expected total rainfall received be much higher than 35.7%? But one would need to verify figures against sources and the days included in rainfall totals vs. "first nine days" before editing and don't have time, just noticed seems off.

 * I finally fixed this problem. The 38.6" was not at IAH (Houston Intercontinental), while the other percentage stat is relevant at IAH.  I'm shocked this apparent and obvious-looking error survived FAC.  More precision was needed when indicating various rainfall values around Houston, because the two lines indicating data were relevant for two different sites...it was easy to read in that both values were for the same location.

I think we should semi-protect this article. in the past couple days,we have seen a lot of vandalism to this page. How do you block? Juliancolton (talk) 18:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Protecting can only be done by an admin. My understanding is that articles featured on the main page are rarely protected. However, the article will only be on the main page for about 5 1/2 more hours. The vandalism should stop after it is de-featured. --Evb-wiki (talk) 18:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Indeed, it is not supposed to be protected. What would you think of Wikipedia, knowing that one can edit any article, when you can't edit the article on the main page? --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Wow, I never knew how much a page is vandalized when it gets to the main page. I have reverted at least 3, and there have been at least a dozen more casses. Juliancolton (talk) 21:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

New Storm Archive
I recently found the storm's archives, which enables the removal of a considerable number of dead links. I have already relinked reference 11 to the archive and removed the dead link tag. Now I don't have the time to do it all myself, and I'm not sure if it is necessary or not, but figured that getting rid of link rot is always a good idea. If anyone could help, please do.

Concerns with WP:FACR #1c
This older FA does not seem to be a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature as required by WP:FACR #1c. In its current state, this is built almost entirely on government reports. However, there is a decent amount of scholarly literature about this topic, such as this from the Journal of Hydrological Engineering, this from Quaternary Research, this from National Hazards Review, this from the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, this from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, this from the Journal of Hydrological Engineers, and much more. Given that I found these all in about 10 minutes is a pretty clear sign this is lacking a lot of scholarly coverage, and does not meet the FA criteria. Hog Farm Talk 04:54, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

I would argue that after spot checking a few of those scholarly articles you linked to, it seems that most of those articles are only tangibly connected to Alison. Jason Rees (talk) 05:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

- I think there's also an expectation to use the scholarly literature, if it is present. While this isn't focused on all aspects of Allison, it's a decent peer-reviewed piece covering the aftermath on the storm on infrastructure. This book devotes an entire chapter to flash flooding resulting from the storm (I can access most of the chapter through Gbooks preview, so hopefully it is previewable for others, too. While this isn't exclusively about Allison, it does contain some good content about forecasting Allison.  I can only get the abstract of this, but the abstract suggests that it likely has some content about storm damage from Allison.  That isn't a whole lot of sources, but that's from only a fairly brief search, so I think it's safe to say that there is academic coverage about TS Allison, and that said academic coverage is not incorporated well into the article in its current state.

 * Can we include info on Tropical Storm Manuel, sorta like with Klaus and Marco? íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 13:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. You should also mention the NHC discussion which mentions the possibility for an EPAC Iris. In this discussion, they said if Iris redeveloped it would retain its name. However, Manuel wasn't a direct part of Iris, per this discussion. Still, it would be a good thing to mention. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
