New image

We should get a more recent image, now that Helene is a storm rather than a disturbance. This will be needed as it appears this storm will become extremely violent. CyclonicStormYutu (talk) 16:03, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that this will qualify for a more "better" image replacement, but it sure looks impressive now!

More faster edits on Helene's catorgory.

I think we should get info from the National Hurricane Center or National Weather Service, or even the NOAA! And this is coming from a person in Florida. AmazedCheezBalls (talk) 01:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We do. Citations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 45 are directly from the NHC. Advisories from the National Weather Service are of lesser use, as they are for immediately preserving life and property, and from NOAA is typically more retrospective and not timely, so the four or so daily NHC bulletins are as rapid as information can be reasonably added.

Ah, ok. So should I remove this? AmazedCheezBalls (talk) 02:11, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion? Better to leave it up and just have it be marked as

Already done or so. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:18, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Hurricane Helene?

Is this the time that we give this the primary article? Or do we wait to see the impacts done? CrazyC83 (talk) 20:16, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If an RM was called, I doubt it would pass because of the 1958 storm. ✶Qux yz ✶ 20:47, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose to that. Hurricane Helene (1958) was, as of this message, stronger, costlier, and deadlier than the 2024 version. So absolutely not. Like mentioned above, if an RM is called, it would be strong opposed probably due to the 1958 storm. Even if this caused major damage, it would be opposed as the 1958 storm caused equivalent to 119 million in damage in today's money. There would be no clear primary topic, as both are there. For "Helene", the article "Hurricane Helene" should be the list of storms, unless the 2024 storm is retired. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:54, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
