[edit] Jeanne

Hurricane Jeanne was rather reminiscent of Gracie, was she not? - Cuivienen 03:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Not really. -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 20:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, actually kinda. I agree with you Cuinieven.
  • Both formed in September
  • Both looped around in the Atlantic.
  • Both struck the east coast as category 3 hurricanes.
  • Both had 120 mph winds at landfall.
  • Both were the first major hurricanes to hit the east coast in over 8 years.
  • Both brushed the north side of Hispaniola as weak cyclones.
  • Pressure readings were the exactly same for both storms: 950mb.

But what really got me were the similarities i found with the two infamous Allisons. Cyclone1 02:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

Intro, impact. Jdorje 21:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Impact section looks good, needs sources. -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 00:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Was Gracie retired?

There is some confusion over whether Gracie was retired. See Talk:List_of_retired_Atlantic_hurricanes#Retirement_of_Gracie for the discussion. — jdorje (talk) 00:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

According to this WMO Newsletter Gracie was retired. PenguinCDF 06:56, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

Sections are really short all around, and there isn't a great deal of information. Downgraded to Stub. CrazyC83 03:27, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
