[edit] Bay of Fundy?

The article says that this storm struck the Bay of Fundy. Yet the track shows it hitting Cape Cod and Maine, well west of the Bay of Fundy. Should the article be changed? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 22:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that too. I'm not sure. Jdorje 09:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

The image is correct: it's the EYE of the storm that tracked over Cape Cod. The counter-clockwise rotation of the gale would have influenced the Bay by driving winds right up it. If the timing was exact, the coinciding winds and tide would devastate the coastal areas...which is what happened. Plus it's a standard for meteorologists to indicate storm movement tracks with relation to eyes. Thus, the picture is correct Andrew647 20:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

The entire article seems to be the source excerpts. Should they be put into wikisource? As it is this isn't really an "article". Jdorje 07:17, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
