Talk:Hurricane (disambiguation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
is a hurricane the same thing as a tornado except over water instead of land?
[edit] Separate tropical storm article
Since we make distinctions between tropical cyclone and tropical storm, I'm thinking about creating a separate Tropical storm page so there's a direct link. It seems less helpful to have links for hurricane and tropical storm in many sentences when they point to the same long article. The information about intensities and differention is all in the tropical cyclone article, but fairly deep. And since that article is so long, some split seems inevitable. Finally, a good article on tropical storms could help reduce public misunderstanding that only hurricanes or major hurricanes are dangerous. DavidH 02:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- (This should be discussed at talk:tropical cyclone or on the wikiproject talk page, not here.) I don't think a proliferation of articles is the answer; a page about "tropical storm" would just be a stub. The solution to the multiple links is to cut out the duplicate links. The differences between tropical storms and hurricanes is (or should be) explained either in tropical cyclone or one of its daughter pages. — jdorje (talk) 03:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Verification
Can anyone check this? The page Hurricane (disambiguation) claims "Also derived from Hunraken, the Mayan god of winds." Is this an error in transcription of Huracan? Or an alternate spelling? samwaltz 20:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
