[edit] Strength at landfall

Officially Beulah was a cat3 at its final landfall (see reference). It is indeed odd that some reports show higher sustained winds than this (but there are no sources for this!!!)...and the best-track data may claim it's a category 4 for all I know. However the official status remains cat3. Jdorje 19:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

This is barely a class B I guess. It doesn't have any impact for Mexico, and the intro mentions only Texas. Jdorje 21:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I lowered it to a start. Not quite B status. Hurricanehink 20:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Added more information from the TX hurricane history and the TC rainfall climatology into the article. The impact section was reorganized, the lead was expanded, the article is better referenced, and nbsp's were added into the page. Thegreatdr 15:34, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deaths

Can we have a deaths-by-region table? http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdeadlyapp1.shtml lists it as Texas, Mexico, Martinique. — jdorje (talk) 05:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Great job Dr.Roth, this article has been here three years and yet has had no one to tackle the work on it. It reaches all Good Article Criteria. Nice job.Mitch32contribs 18:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tornadoes

If we count the tornadoes from about the 16-17 to the 22nd, the storm would have produced 117 tornadoes excluding those in the Great Lakes, Florida and Central Plains that took place at that time - thus it would rank second. The three tornadoes on the 23/24 since it occurred after dissipation will not count. --JForget 17:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
