[edit] older entries

Note: The Florida's Worst Hurricanes page is pending. I plan to list a brief summery of some of Florida's most devastating hurricanes, in case you're curious, furious or otherwise intrigued.

It's not pending anymore, and it's been renamed Catastrophic Florida Hurricanes

[edit] Induvidual storms

Is there any way to obtain more info about the individual storms of this season? Weatherman90 16:28, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

What's in the Monthly Weather Review is all we got. -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 22:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Button Bar

I didnt make that dumb error with the / this time.HurricaneCraze32 14:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I reverted it. Sorry, but the button bar is useless if not every storm is listed. Hurricanehink 14:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ACE Chart

That chart looks really confusing with the numbers cluttered together. For example, for the first storm, I can't figure out how to differentiate between "1", "26.37" and "13". Don't know, just needs to clear up a bit. RaNdOm26 15:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

All fixed-I wrote out the storm numbers.Mitchazenia 16:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

This is undoubtedly B-class. However, it could use some images - track maps will work. You can probably bug Nilfanion for those. ;P If it gets images, it may even be A-class material. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 02:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Nilfanion added the track maps. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inflated damage

Does anyone know a way to inflate the 1933 USD damage totals to 2006 USD? I know there's some sort of conversion factor, but I don't know what it is. There's also a calculator to inflate damage to 2005 USD, so that could help bring 1933 USD to 2005 USD, but that's as far as I can get. Can someone help? Hurricanehink (talk) 20:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Best i found was one for 1800-2005. [1]. There ya go.HurricaneCraze32 aka Mitchazenia 18:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death toll for Hurricane 14

The NOAA lists the death toll for Hurricane 14 as sixty-three. The reference they cite for this statistic is Diario de la Marina, a Cuban newspaper. The New York Times, however, reported the death toll as "at least sixty-seven" in an article written the day after the hurricane struck Tampico. Since we don't have the original source for the "sixty-three" figure to look at, I'm going to go with the New York Times' figure (since primary sources trump secondary).

[edit] Storm articles

It seems to me that there's enough info out there to support a seperate article for hurricanes 11 and 15. Anyone want to look into it? -Runningonbrains 22:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's currently on FAC right now, so if we were to do anything I think it should wait. No sense in making the article unstable right now by adding separate articles. However, yea, it looks like 11 and 15 could have their own articles. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I have 11 ready and waiting as the 1933 Brownsville Hurricane.-User:Mitchazenia/1933 Brownsville HurricaneMitchazenia V3.0 16:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
You should add more info using the np archive before you publish it. Currently, it's practically a copy of the storm section in the season article. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Love to, if it wasn't under mantinence everytime i type in Texas Hurricane (1933).Mitchazenia V3.0 18:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's one problem. It caused damage in places other than Texas. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Everything i type in is a mantinence- and several times gone through search engines.Mitchazenia V3.0 19:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loved this article, especially the depictions of the paths. so clear and colorful

Does anyone know who wrote the article? I'm a huge follower of hurricane season and lived in Florida for almost all of my childhood. As an adult, I went through the front end of Katrina in Boca Raton. What the back end did I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

[edit] The locality that the season impinged upon.

Firstly, this is something of a hobby horse of mine - so please try to tease out the salient point within the verbiage. The Atlantic is a very big mass of water, which fetches up on the coasts of many continents. I realise that this article reflects upon the consequences of the season upon the Atlantic coasts (and inland) of Eastern North America, Central America and possibly Northern South America; but this general locality is not mentioned within the article, and certainly not in the opening paragraph. As with a lot of articles that are associated with the USA or North America, it is simply assumed that people will know which area is being referred to. I do not feel that this is an encyclopedic approach. I hope the major contributors to the article (excellent in every other way, I would comment) would be able to clarify this aspect without disturbing the flow of the text.

Thanks for the heads up. I clarified in the first sentence that the article deals with the North Atlantic Ocean, which is the overall area in which the tropical cyclones occurred. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Great. I further clarified it to western north Atlantic, since the hurricanes did not immediately effect the northern Atlantic shores of Europe/Iberia/North Africa. Once I found your addition placing mine was easy. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
I wondered about specifying western, but I figured that hurricanes only make landfall in the western Atlantic. Correct assumption? 4u1e (talk) 00:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
