[edit] Todo
Content is good. The storm history and impact need to be separated to give the article a little structure. Some grammar also needs fix. Jdorje 19:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

The storm track shows Babe of the Atlantic. What's with that!Icelandic Hurricane 21:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- That's because there was a Babe in the Atlantic at the same time, and the Atlantic Babe got its track map first. Hurricanehink 20:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

- Yep, when I first decided on the naming format for the track maps I asked Eric if the had ever been 2 storms in the same year with the same name, but I don't think I waited to get an answer. Babe's not the only one...there also the Alices of 1954 (which I called Alice1 and Alice2). Now for my next question...which Babe was first, the Atlantic or Pacific one? — jdorje (talk) 21:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

- WPAC Babe reached TS status only 24 hours before Atlantic Babe. A quick check on the List of tropical cyclone names used in more than one basin shows these:
-
- Alex (1998)- Atlantic and WPAC
- Alice (1953)- Atlantic and WPAC, 2 Alices in Atlantic in 1954
- Betty (1972)- Atlantic and WPAC
- Carmen (1974)- A and WPAC
- Fabian (1985)- A and WPAC
- Irma (1978)- A and WPAC
- Linda (1997)- EPAC and WPAC

- Ugh. Where does this list come from? Digital Typhoon shows no Alex of 1998 (but does show Alice of 1953). — jdorje (talk) 01:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

- Unisys and JTWC show an Alex in 1998. Hurricanehink 01:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
