Strongest storm

[edit]

Cleo and Helene both have complete pressure records for the times when they were at high intensity. This means that Helene was the more intense storm, despite having the lower measured wind speed. It also means, basically, that there's no way in hell Cleo was a category 5 storm. Jdorje 19:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

reports

[edit]

From the article:

The season was the earliest one for which archived hurricane "preliminary reports" are available from the United States National Hurricane Center, although summaries are available through monthly weather summaries on the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratorydating to 1882.

Trivia

[edit]

The editor gave a source, albeit a French language one, for his trivia about the Cuban revolution. Are you saying that it needs an English language source, or that you don't accept it until you've read the source for yourself? Rlquall 19:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • "a subtropical depression formed in the Caribbean and dropped heavy rainfall near Miami." - Are you talking about this Miami?
  • "The season's activity was reflected with a cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 121." - Was the rating of 121 below average, near normal, or above average?
  • "strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding" - Eh, it's kinda redundant to end the first sentence with "ACEs" and start the second with "ACE".
  • "tracked both Hurricanes Daisy and Helene for 500 nautical miles (575 mi (925 km))" - Two things here. One, why is nautical miles used here? Next, why is there two closing parenthesis brackets?
  • "Based on reports from the Cape Verde islands offshore Africa" - Isn't it just Cape Verde, not Cape Verde islands/Islands.
  • I will continue this review later tonight.--12george1 (talk) 00:08, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Continuing...
  • Not sure how big of a deal this is, but on Cleo's section, you don't mention the word "Cleo" until the fourth sentence.
  • "Although it did not report higher winds, it is estimated that Cleo had intensified further,[1] reaching peak winds of 160 mph (260 km/h) early on August 16; this made it a Category 5 hurricane." - You use "it" here three times and none of them refer to the same thing. Try to cut down on them, especially one of the two before the semicolon.
  • "The Weather Bureau issued a hurricane warning from Block Island to Provincetown, Massachusetts due to the projected path near New England." - You might wanna mention what state Block Island is in, because it is not in Massachusetts.
  • "and a peak gust of 135 km/h (220 km/h), exceeding the previous record for measured wind speed" - Darn, I have to take math classes again too because I forgot how to convert kilometers to kilometers. :P
  • Were any of the 1958 names used for the first time or retired?
  • Nice work! I am gonna pass this article now in accordance to the GA criteria.--12george1 (talk) 16:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
