User:12george1 has recently continued the long process of having an article for every season in HURDAT. User:Juliancolton worked to get 1910 Atlantic hurricane season to GA status, and he also improved the subsequent season to C-class. There are now only seven stub seasons in the 20th century. In addition to the very early seasons, User:Hurricanehink has been working to get 1950 Atlantic hurricane season featured, as well as a prospective featured topic. Outside of the project, it has recently been hinted that the Atlantic best track will be extended back to 1750. Such an extension would include the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record (Great Hurricane of 1780), a possible Category 5 hurricane that struck Cuba and Florida (Great Havana Hurricane of 1846), and the 1821 Norfolk and Long Island hurricane, which reportedly struck New Jersey and New York as a major hurricane.
