An image is needed to go in the infobox. Jdorje 01:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

More impact. Jdorje 21:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

The article has not a single source! Jdorje 01:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, that sounds like a good candidate for a re-do. Hurricanehink 02:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Yep, I figured if I knocked it down to stub it would show up on your radar ;-). Jdorje 02:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, I guess, but damn! I just tried a search, and there is nothing on this storm. Outside of the NHC report, there's next to no mention anywhere on the web. This article might be doomed to forever low-quality for an impact section. I expected something to be in the ReliefWeb Website, but nothing! There are little bits of information here and there, like Diana causing rainfall or encountering warm water temperatures, but there is not enough for an impact section. I'll try doing some more research another time, but this storm might be doomed. Hurricanehink 03:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Never fear, Storm05 is here!. Ive found a better Montly Weather Review Storm05 16:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

That link gives me nothing. — jdorje (talk) 17:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

No! Storm05, are you positive the link is right? That is exactly what is needed for the 1990 Atlantic hurricane season. Hurricanehink 17:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Nevermind. Awesome find Storm05! It worked. I'll redo this article later. Hurricanehink 19:28, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, it works now. BTW, at Monthly Weather Review there are links to archives of *all* the MWR issues (by month). The NHC only includes excerpts from each year of articles they deem applicable (included as part of the re-analysis). If you find an article they've left out, you might want to contact them about it. — jdorje (talk) 20:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Damn, sooo little online. Here's a list of the 1990 Flood Archive, which might help a little... a very little. Hurricanehink 00:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Good news. I found a Spanish site (luckily I know Spanish fairly well), and I got a damage total and a death total. I found some more specifics, but there is absolutely nothing else out there on this storm. Does that qualify it for FA status by default? LOL, j/k, but this is one storm that is doomed in terms of information. Hurricanehink 04:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Same problem with most Mexican storms a bit back in the past, sources are few and far between... but I am a native speaker, so I can translate a few things for this article. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 03:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, but I stole what I could and ran! You could mention how the sea turtles were affected from this site, or keep saying what's already written of what's here, but I don't think there's anything else out there. You can check yourself though, seeing as you're native. You might catch something I missed. Hurricanehink 03:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. 68.22.252.165 06:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I have upgraded this to B-Class (for now). Storm05 15:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
