-- Estonia and northern Europe had also very strong storm from 08-09.01.2005. It caused pretty much damage in Estonia as it arrived here on 09.01 Tarmo Tanilsoo 4:43, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

I seem to remember the 1968 hurricane was called "Hurricane Queenie". Looking at the relevant article, they appear to have stopped using Q-names in the North Atlantic hurricane naming system before this. Can anyone clarify? PatGallacher 14:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I guess so, so im putting up the Wikipedia Tropical Cyclones Banner just for that , because I think that some of the European Windstorms are hurricanes that went far north according to post storm data. E-Series 17:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

There was not a hurricane in 1968 called Queenie. If anything, it was a European Windstorm. For that reason, I removed the hurricane template. Hurricanehink 22:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
