[edit] Todo

Of course there's not going to be much more to put in the impact section. I think it would be more interesting to add another section on the lack of pressure measurements for this storm, and why that was done. Specifically, I myself am interested to know how they got windspeed measurements without measuring the pressure. Jdorje 04:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree, jdorje. I still think Dog had lower pressure than 900mb and WAAAAYYY lower than the 979 mb they estimated on the page.

The 979 isn't an estimate, it's the actual measurement...taken from when the hurricane hit the Caribbean as a Category 1. But after the storm moved north and strengthened, they kept taking air windspeed measurements but stopped taking pressure measurements for some reason. — jdorje (talk) 20:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Damage

"Damage was placed at $2 million in lost revenue" ... so which is it? Lost revenue is not damage. — jdorje (talk) 04:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Meets all GA criteria; referenced, stable, and well-written. -Phoenix 23:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
