[edit] Inaccuracy

There is no way even 80% of the information is correct. 260mph wind gusts, 842mB? This occured in 1635, there is no way this article is accurate.

I don't know about the actual strength, but a Google search says this did exist. Toothpaste 06:40, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

260 mph gusts and 842 mb would both be world records by a substantial margin. Let's be realistic - a Category 5 hurricane in New England is practically impossible (it would weaken to, at the most, a low-end Category 4 before striking land). I can't ever see a Category 5 hurricane making landfall north of Cape Hatteras... CrazyC83 00:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
He's right, theres no way a hurricane can have wind gusts of 260mph or 842 mbar. Such storms do not exist. Storm05 17:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
That discussion was about the original revision of the article. It has since been fixed. Jdorje 18:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New info

I added a little more info on the casualties. I hope it's true! I got it from here[1]66.30.58.20 00:17, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grthur

Can somebody please help me upload Grthur from islandnet? It's not working for me.Ice 02:19, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Huh? Jdorje 02:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Grthur apparently refers to the image (Grthur35.jpg) that is missing). Rbraunwa 02:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Is this page still considered a stub? It seems much longer now.Icelandic Hurricane 14:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
