Update

I post that template on the article because this stuff on it is not the most current. At the time I am writing this, Rick is a category 1 not a category 3. --12george1 (talk) 02:45, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

In the future it would be nice to have a water vapor image of Rick at peak intensity, which was unquestionably "spectacular." Gm03us (talk) 15:19, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why a water vapor image? The main image for the article was taken when Rick was at its record intensity. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Simply because it illustrated well the astounding characteristics of the storm when at peak intensity; it was the quintessential textbook image of an intense hurricane. I remember cycling through the images when it was at peak intensity, and that one struck me the most. The visible image, while impressive, doesn't come close to some of the enhanced imagery of this storm. 97.96.164.147 (talk) 00:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is WP:WPTC policy to use the peak visible image, if possible. However, it can be added somewhere else in the article, such as the Met. History.

Why?

File:Rick 2009-10-17 2020Z.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Rick 2009-10-17 2020Z.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 22, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-12-22. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 18:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Hurricane Rick was the second-most intense Pacific hurricane on record and the strongest ever to form during October. Developing south of Mexico on October 15, 2009, the storm attained Category 5 status on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale two days later and soon attained its peak intensity with winds of 180 mph (290 km/h; 156 kn) and the barometric pressure bottomed out at 906 mbar (906.00 hPa; 26.75 inHg). By the time it made landfall near Mazatlán, its winds had dropped to 55 mph (89 km/h; 48 kn) and it was reclassified as a tropical depression a few hours later.Photo: NASA/MODIS Rapid Response Team

Hurricane Rick (2009) → Hurricane Rick – Very prominent Rick! I admit this is a primary topic for sure! :) --SMB99thx XD (contribs) 09:53, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose sorry, same as the others, the year is a critical part of the identity even if (1985) and (1997) did less damage. Also for readers affected by any particular one, that one is their major topic. There is no absolute Hurricane Rick. This isn't Paris vs Paris, Texas.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Rounding errors

The introduction says 180 mph (290 km/h) but the infobox 180 mph (285 km/h). According to the source [1] it was estimated of 155 kt, which is around 178 mph (287 km/h), also the source [2] states around 285 km/h. Vergessenes Wissen (talk) 10:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"flood damage amounted to $690,000"

How were the $690,000 calculated? If I add the damage costs according to [3] from 10/22/2009 to 10/26/2009 I come to $569,000. So it looks like the damages from 11/03/2009 and 11/20/2009 were added too, but then why not the 2.000M from 11/01/2009 ? Vergessenes Wissen (talk) 12:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
