[edit] Merge

Too little info here for not notable enough of a storm, IMO. It caused very little damage and deaths, did not make landfall. I think it should be merged. Hurricanehink 20:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm tempted to agree. This one smells like a hated skin-and-bones article with little nutritional value :). -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 04:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm sort of swaying the other way. I has potential, but unless somebody adds some stuff, I think it should be merged back. Hurricanehink 16:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm against merging this one...though it needs a good copyedit, the info is sound, and I think it's an important member of List of North Carolina hurricanes. Now Hurricane Gaston (2004), on the other hand... Jdorje 20:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Yea, it does have potential. Hurricanehink 20:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I like the Gaston article. It is extensive enough to stay. Judge the article, not the storm. -- Hurricane Eric archive -- my dropsonde 04:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Judge the article, not the storm? You sound like me there. Isn't your normal argument exactly the opposite? Jdorje 01:14, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

Yep, you guessed it...better intro, more impact! This article is almost there though. Jdorje 01:12, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Are we there yet? :) Hurricanehink 21:50, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Nice work. I fixed up the intro and added reference tags. Only problem is one of the references is a broken link. Jdorje 00:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I assume the broken link refers to the drought and fire in Norfolk. The good news is a drought occurred in the southeast U.S. in the summer of 1993, as shown here. The bad news is the source only covers June and July, and doesn't even mention Hurricane Emily. I can't find a reference for the fire in Norfolk. Maybe you can ask Storm05?
