Todo[edit]

Despite it being featured, I see a few problematic things that need to be fixed.

  • Unit problems - I see one unit without a metric equivalent, and I saw one that had a really weird, and inappropriate rounding.
    • Also, MOS says miles should be abbreviated to mi after its first usage.
  • Several events have no mention of location. It doesn't do much good when one event has the location, then the next event (which happens to be significant) has no mention whatsoever.
  • For Bill, I have a major qualm calling it Tropical Depression Three. For storms that were upgraded straight to TS operationally, they were never known as the TD name.
  • For Juan, the storm clearly moved over Prince Edward Island. That landfall needs to be found and mentioned.

What events need to be given a location?
How would I go about describing the depression for Bill? Just say a depression formed....the depression strengthened into.....

For the locations, it's more important for the longer storms, so I'd say Claudette's first hurricane upgrade, clarifying Claudette's second upgrade as being in the GoM, maybe where Danny weakened, Fabian's peak intensity, Isabel's peak, Kate's peak, maybe Kate's ET, and Nicholas's dissipation. And for Bill, that would work. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:55, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The part about Prince Edward Island is in the TCR and just added it to the line where it weakens to Cat:1, since they occur at the same time. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For Fabian, should it be peak intensity by wind or pressure? Because there is a two day difference between the two. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Your call. Maybe winds since that was when it was as a Cat. 4 (pressure was as cat. 3). ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Pressure was as minimal Cat:4, 115kts. I'll go with winds since it is less technical ;) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
