Storm Surge is the number 1 killing factor for a hurricane. Why isn't that being taken into account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.77.38 (talk) 01:45, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Severity Index - Not appropriate as a historical measure of severity.[edit]

I have a concern with how this article is used in other pages. It is referenced as a measure of the severity of a past hurricane.

However, this "Hurricane Severity Index" is only a predictive tool

^[1]

not a historical evaluation of a past storm. This is a commercial product that is used and sold to companies to determine the severity prediction of a storm so companies can plan actions based on the prediction.

It also explains why items like deaths, storm surge, and rainfall are not part of the value as these would be collected for the storm from a historical perspective.

This information has been substantially archived and I suggest it be archived. In the American Meterology Website (AMS) from what I can see it appears that this paper written by 2 employees of impactweather.com was published and no other action was taken by NOAA or AMS regarding this material. Also HSI which is the acronym impactweather.com made for Hurricane Severity Index is already defined by AMS as the Hurricane Size Index and combined with intensity to make a HWISI which is a experimental model created by AMS and Universities in the US. ^[2]. NOAA is creating a proposed rating called a ERM (extreme rainfall multiplier) to account for storms that do not have a high windspeed but with the amount of rainfall generated (resulting in storm surge & flooding) accumulated water surge is the more destructive force and takes into the account which side the hurricane is passing population areas (the right side being more destructive as hurricanes rotate counter clockwise) ^[3]. wizbang_fl (talk) 08:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
