[edit] Areas affected
The template table only mentions some of the places Fran affected. Didn't she hit southern Ontario and southern Québec as a tropical depression and even western Maine as an extratropical storm. Maybe somebody could find more information about Fran's dying days. Devahn58 20:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Strength Over Land
I lived in Raleigh, NC at the time Fran came inland and we were told by news media that when Fran hit the coast she was at Category 3 strength and that by the time she came inland as far as Raleigh, she was still a Category 1 hurricane, and only downgraded to Tropical Storm strength after she passed into Virginia. Is there a way to verify this? Mirlin 19:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- The NHC report on Fran contains that information (Fran weakened to a tropical storm over NC not VA though).--Nilfanion (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article title
Is there a way to change the article's title to Hurricane Fran (1996)? --Miss Dark 21:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Why would we? The format is that all retired hurricanes get the main article (no year identifier). Fran was retired, so need for the (1996). Hurricanehink (talk) 02:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

- The 1973 Hurricane Fran doesn't have an article, and Bertha wasn't retired. If Hurricane XXX was retired, then there is no year identifier. Hurricanehink (talk) 12:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
