An image is needed to go in the infobox. Jdorje 01:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

This site has an image of Fifi, though is it PD? Hurricanehink (talk) 01:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
The documents on that site say they're done by NOAA and they (the documents) also contain the Atlantic hurricane season pictures we found for earlier seasons like 1980, but for the most part, I'm as unsure as you. Jake52 My talk

[edit] Need sources

This article doesn't have a single source. I am not happy with including Fifi on the "costliest hurricanes" lists without any sources for it. Jdorje 22:33, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

A source for the damages number. Jdorje 07:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm concerned with this number, as it conflicts with a newspaper article I saw today from 1974 that would imply it is 30-40% too low. Thegreatdr 17:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Retirement

Just so you all know, retirement was not originally meant to be completely permanent for storm names. Any articles we have in the project that state so need to be revised. Thegreatdr 22:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
