[edit] Todo

It's close to B class, but there's too many spelling errors and grammar mistakes. Also, some places go into too much unneeded detail (like Isabel in the statistics section, should be merged with impact), while other places don't have enough detail (impact in general, there's probably more for Mid-Atlantic and northward). --Hurricanehink (talk) 17:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Cant then the impact section will make no sense if you merge it. Is better to keep comparisons with the 1933 storm and the Isabel separate otherwise it will confuse the reader. Impacts of the actual storm and comparisons should be kept separate. (see; 2005 Atlantic hurricane seasonstorms). Storm05 12:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
What about the intro, then? Hurricanehink (talk) 12:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
What intro?, theres nothing wrong with the intro (which is irrelvent to this discurssion). Storm05 12:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I did a general copyedit. Storm05 13:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
No, I meant put the Isabel comparisons in the intro, if anywhere. There's no need to have a section comparing two storms. A lot of storms were similar, and yet don't have a comparisons section. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Should the title be moved to 1933 Chesapeake-Potomac hurricane, per the link in the first sentence, as well as necessitating the de-capitalized "h" in "hurricane? ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

This storm's name is Original Research unless a link is given that provides it.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

It's name is from a Weatherwise article from a decade ago written by a member of TPC. If you'd like, we can look it up. Thegreatdr 16:38, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Cross Donations

Something is very wrong with that number, unless people in 1933 were truly that poor. The reference itself says that was one person's contribution. Thegreatdr 20:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

It was right after the great depression.... and dont forget inflation also. Wxweenie91 18:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

Didn't we decide it's supposed to be 1933 Chesapeake Potomac hurricane? Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
