[edit] Todo

It's about time someone made an article on this storm (one of the most notable tcs of all time). However there's a lot of work to do. Banqiao Dam has a lot of information about the catastrophe, though it's uncertain how we should split the information between that article and this one. What's really needed is a death toll estimate or range. The BD article says 26,000 dead of flooding (direct) and 145,000 dead of disease (indirect). This link gives 86,000-230,000 as a range; a couple other links in the BQD article may be more authoratative but they are in chinese. — jdorje (talk) 02:26, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Also the storm history needs some work...it shouldn't mention the dam, but it should mention the other weather systems (as I recall there was a non-tropical low meeting a cold front meeting the tropical storm). Again the BQD article and its links may be helpful. — jdorje (talk) 02:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, this storm is bound to be a toughie as it occurred over 25 years ago in Asia. We've done it for century-old tropical cyclones like the Galveston Hurricane, though, and I believe we can find some way to figure this one out.Omni ND 12:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
