[edit] Problem

Problem... What should be done about its effects in the Mid-Atlantic region? It was related to the storm, though it was a renmant combined with another system. Some sites say Juan caused 62 deaths, including the mid-Atlantic flooding, but the NHC doesn't mention it at all (though they don't mention a lot of things some times). So what should we do?

Looks like most of that info (in the Appalachian section) is already covered. The only thing missing is clarification that this destruction was not necessarily due to the tropical system itself (likely the reason for no retirement). Jdorje 03:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant about the infobox. Don't even get me started on the retirement. It caused $1.5 billion in Louisiana alone, and combined with the Mid-Atlantic, it caused around $3 billion in 1985 dollars, $5+ billion today. I'm just wonderng should we mention the deaths and damage caused by the renmant in the infobox. Hurricanehink 03:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Seems like a similar situation to Hurricane Stan. Jdorje 03:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Juan and Stan were worlds apart. To not acknowledge all those deaths in Central America to Stan is ludicrous, and TPC knows it. It's not like there was a circulation in the Gulf of Mexico before Stan arrived...the rainfall/deaths were directly attributable to Stan's circulation...no different than Mitch (1998) or Fifi (1974). Juan and an additional occluded cyclone led to the damage in the Mid-Atlantic, which is shown in the Daily Weather Map Series. I corrected it in the storm's summary, and added some rainfall information and a graphic. thegreatdr 20:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, except this is said and done with. Maybe we could have that information in paranthesis? Also, is this article any better, or is it still a start article? Hurricanehink 04:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I changed it to B. Make sure you include metric units. Jdorje 04:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
