Todo

Of course there's not going to be much more to put in the impact section. I think it would be more interesting to add another section on the lack of pressure measurements for this storm, and why that was done. Specifically, I myself am interested to know how they got windspeed measurements without measuring the pressure. Jdorje 04:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Better? Hurricanehink 21:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todo2: inline sources. Jdorje 21:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, jdorje. I still think Dog had lower pressure than 900mb and WAAAAYYY lower than the 979 mb they estimated on the page.

The 979 isn't an estimate, it's the actual measurement...taken from when the hurricane hit the Caribbean as a Category 1. But after the storm moved north and strengthened, they kept taking air windspeed measurements but stopped taking pressure measurements for some reason. — jdorje (talk) 20:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Damage

"Damage was placed at $2 million in lost revenue" ... so which is it? Lost revenue is not damage. — jdorje (talk) 04:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA pass

Meets all GA criteria; referenced, stable, and well-written. -Phoenix 23:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name?

It IS "Dog", right? And not some elaborate vandal convincing everyone it's not "Doug"? Kingoomieiii (talk) 15:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as in Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Echo in phonetic spelling. Acroterion _(talk) 15:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

are all hurricanes going to end up as FA?

there has been so many hurricanes as FA, I lost count.... we need to have a variety of topics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.9.233 (talk) 17:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 17:23, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dog "avoiding" land

In the article, it mentions Hurricane Dog as one of only 3 category 5's to avoid land - but Dog did hit, or pass by, Antigua as a hurricane, so it did not avoid land altogether. Should that be changed in the article? I think Dog should not be left as a category 5 that missed land, but as one that made a direct hit to land, like Hurricane Fabian of 2003 did so on Bermuda.

couldn't find any significant academic literature on this so it's fine on that end (not an issue, just a note that I checked for this)

Leaving this as notes. CCI check not done. Noah^Talk 01:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mitchazenia: Would you be able to fix these issues so I can mark this as satisfactory? Noah^Talk 01:23, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Intensity

Someone putted that Dot peaked as a category 5, with winds of 185mph, is it right? Hurricaned1234 (talk) 01:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, Dog was downgraded in 2014. See here. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 18:17, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
