Texas landfall

The impact section says it hit as a major hurricane but the Best Track says it was only a Category 1 at final landfall. Something's messed up here. -- §Hurricane E RICarchive 22:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really sure why the best track says Cat. 1 at final landfall, but Hurdat says Texas had Cat. 4 winds, and I'm more inclined to believe that since it is more recent. Additionally, a re-analyzed track map from 2007 has it making landfall as a Cat. 4. Additionally, I put it back down to stub, since it has very little information. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

This article has basically no content. Jdorje 07:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

agree, ether someone puts more info in this article or this gets merged. Storm05 18:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The storm is very notable, we just need more info. I don't know if it's out there. -- §Hurricane E RIC§^Damagesarchive 23:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree Eric. I'm sure there's enough out there somewhere. — jdorje (talk) 23:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone wrote up a section for it for Catastrophic Florida Hurricanes: 1900-1960 but I moved it to the talk page because it wasn't catastrophic in Florida. I recall it being well written. Also try the Monthly Weather Review; I've read its report on the storm and remember it being something like one and a half pdf pages long. Good info. We could use that. -- §Hurricane E RIC§^Damagesarchive 01:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found a MWR report on the storm that supposedly pegs this as the first hurricane where sounding observations were used to monitor the system. It also provides a plausible origin for it: ITCZ (if the "doldrums" referred to in the document mean our ITCZ). Either way, we could use this document for some storm history.

They updated the Best Track on HURDAT, showing at 130 kt peak over the Keys (even though I believe it was a Cat 5 after clearing the Keys - that is not official). CrazyC83 (talk) 01:13, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing that needs to be done ASAP is to correct the statement that this was the most intense to strike Key West until the 1935 hurricane. That storm did NOT make a direct hit on Key West. It struck Islamorada Derek Ortt (talk) 20:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Given how much impact was in Texas, shouldn't the article be re-titled to something like "1919 Florida-Texas hurricane"? ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What about 1919 Gulf of Mexico hurricane, which covers both Florida and Texas? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like it, but it seems kinda generic. And, (un)fortunately, the HRD backs it up being called the Florida Keys hurricane. Maybe it shouldn't be moved after all. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:28, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
