[edit] Comments

Just a note, I have a gut feeling that the NHC track is NOT valid. The track map shows clearly why - it appears to reflect off the dateline, going through an unnatural >90 degree turn to do so. The explanation is simple. One data point in HURDAT is "*2731787 100 0". However, that is probably 1787E not 1787W. It the true data point should be "*2731813 100 0". That would be an easy error to make and similarly easy to verify (email). On confirmation of HURDAT being incorrect I can fix the track, but obviously not beforehand.--Nilfanion (talk) 19:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
