It needs at least a one sentence description of every storm to be a start.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has that. It was added last October. -- §Hurricane E RIC § archive 23:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where is 12?--Nilfanion (talk) 23:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geez, people around here are creepy fast. I just added it. I'm adding several missing storms from the forties. I didn't notice some were missing until after I changed the designations so now I'm going make them worthy of the designation I gave them. -- §Hurricane E RIC § archive 23:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I don't disagree with this article being a start. There are track map images available (for instance, Hurricane #1's map is here), if you want to go on and add those. --Core des at 23:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The 1949 Atlantic hurricane season was the last season that tropical cyclones were not officially named by the United States Weather Bureau.[1]" they were names then, but were not kept public. Change "offically" to "pubicALLY"

Pubic-ally? :P--12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Publicly works well imo.Jason Rees (talk) 03:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

" the storm rapidly strengthened over the warm sea surface temperatures of the Gulf Stream." SST's usually can't be considered "war". However, they are "high". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean they can't be considered "warm"? They can be considered cold, right? Btw, you said they can't be "war", so they put be "peace" :P --12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"strengthened to a hurricane later that day. The hurricane halted its forward motion and began to drift eastward. Continually intensifying, it became a major hurricane on September 6. The hurricane turned to the north on September 7, and after briefly weakening to a Category 2 hurricane, it re-attained major hurricane status. " you keep saying "hurricane" here.

", after exiting the Bahamas." you just mentioned that a few sentences above. 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

No, actually in the previous sentence I mention it in, the storm was entering the Bahamas, but here, the hurricane was leaving the Bahamas.--12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
