[edit] Merged

I wouldn't say it should be merged with the 1939 Pacific Hurricane Season article, rather, the 1925-1949 Pacific Hurricane Seasons article. Still, not notable enough on its own. Hurricanehink 00:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Screw that comment, I think it is notable enough now. Hurricanehink 00:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Intensity?

The article says it was a hurricane, but the infobox says it was a tropical storm. Which was it? --Coredesat 22:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hurricane. I'll change it. Hurricanehink 23:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I've gone ahead and put this in the Category 1 Hurricanes category. --Coredesat 10:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

Should this article be renamed to the 1939 Long Beach Hurricane? Storm05 13:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Good question. It made landfall as a tropical storm, so calling the Long Beach Hurricane would be a little confusing. I really don't know. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I have a feeling both of those names might be inappropriate "1939 Long Beach Storm" could work. I think with this storm, as with other unnamed storms, we should go with however it was called at the time by the public.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:34, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I seem to recall that this storm received a nickname in Spanish that translates to "The Lash", which is sometimes used to refer to SW US tropical storms in general...? - 206.149.196.97 14:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
