[edit] Fujiwhara

IMO some mention of the Fujiwhara effect relative to Helene should be mentioned. I have no concrete links (was it mentioned in any of the tropical discussions?) but as the track of the storm pulled further and further south of the predictions it seemed pretty clear to me this was a result of a fujiwhara interaction, and furthermore that the NHC models don't account well for such interactions. — jdorje (talk) 21:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Azores

|Azore Islands returns only 29,100. But |Azorean Islands returns 76,400. However, "Azores Islands" returns 6 million, and just "Azores" returns nearly 10 million. I say we should change the current name. RaNdOm26 16:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Look at it again - "Azorean Islands" - fully in quotes returns 11,600; "Azore Islands" - fully in quotes return 12,400. "Azores Islands" returns 36,000. – Chacor 16:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
To Azores....--Nilfanion (talk) 16:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Just changed it to Azores, and Azores Islands. RaNdOm26 16:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
That works. – Chacor 16:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 10th since 1992?

I was under the impression it was the 10th since records had been kept, with the last case of an impact in the Azores being in 1992. Can someone who knows the specifics check this? --Patteroast 12:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Gordon was the 10th hurricane to hit the Azores since records began in 1851. Before Gordon, 1992 was the last time it occured [1]. Pobbie Rarr 12:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
