Agreed but this is more like it. This should be the standard expected of all hurricane articles in the future. They should be no less than this. This article is nice. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 14:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed "third-strongest" sentence

Hurricane Epsilon was the third-strongest hurricane ever recorded in the month of December, with a minimum pressure of 981 mbar (hPa); only Hurricane Nicole of 1998 and an unnamed storm in the 1925 season were stronger.

This snipplet was removed from the "Records" section as dubious earlier today; is there anything backing this up? --AySz88\^-^ 18:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The HURDAT does not give a pressure for the 1925 storm; so it cannot be said how strong it was (and it looks like the reanalysis will reduce it to a TS anyway). However now that I've looked through the data more fully the claim that Epsilon is number 3 is valid: Its behind Lili 1984 (980 mbar) and Nicole 1998 (979mbar).--Nilfanion (talk) 18:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps Review: Pass

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I made a minor correction in the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
