Number of storms

[edit]

The Sand box says there were 7 when their were 8 according to the infomation contained on the page and so i am going to edit it to say 8 any problems with this? Jason Rees 19:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have a problem with that. There were 4 tropical storms and three subtropical storms, though one of those tropical storms was once a subtropical storm. That might be where the confusion is. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:58, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ive just been doing some research on Google and Subtropical storm Bravo became Hurricanne Betty

my source is the candian hurricanne center - http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/weather/hurricane/storm72.html Jason Rees 20:11, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, there are 7 according to the page. It says it in Hurricane Betty's section that it was named Bravo, though Betty's naming as a tropical system superceded the name Bravo. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ref for the opening sentence?
  • Wasn't Agnes the costliest at the time? Ask Jason Rees for old copies of the Atlantic Frequently Asked Questions, pretty sure there is a list as of the 70s, and that Agnes was costliest until Frederic
  • "with only four tropical storms, four subtropical storms, and three hurricanes." - kinda misleading, as one of the subtropical storms became tropical
  • Is it proper format to capitalize "The Carolinas"?
  • Watch for rounding (Alpha)
  • "A polar front and an upper trough over the Yucatán Peninsula and eventually spawned a tropical depression by June 14. " - weird way to start a section. Was there a chance the TD formed earlier? I think the sentence could be cleaner
  • I don't think you need to say unknown effects for Yucatan
  • "In Florida, Agnes caused a significant tornado outbreak, with at least 26 confirmed twisters, though two of them were spawned in Georgia." - did the Georgia tornadoes reach Florida? If not, idk if they should be mentioned here. Or just say "tornado outbreak that extended into Georgia".
  • I feel like you totally gloss over Agnes's effects outside of Florida. More info is definitely needed
  • "Overall damage was generally light, with total monetary losses valued at $1.78 million and four deaths are blamed on the storm." - poor grammar
  • "west-northward" - is this WNW, NW, or NNW?
  • "the cold low pressure area relinquished of Dawn" - what does this mean?
  • "The system nearly struck the Sea Islands" - if it nearly struck an island group, then you should say "approached" or something. That's more natural than "nearly struck."
  • Where did Charlie come from? Also, what happened to its remnants? The last thing you say is that it became ET
  • Delta's entire section is wrong. (Check the movement). Also, how did it encounter "unfavorable conditions"? That's not in the BT
  • "In addition to the named storms and otherwise notable cyclones" - you don't have any other storms
  • What was TD 5's peak rainfall?
  • "Another tropical depression developed about 800 mi (1,300 km) east-southeast of Bermuda" - when?
  • Don't say things like "A seventeenth tropical depression". If it was called TD 17, call it that. Do that for the whole TD section. Also, did this TD form over land? (Over Guinea-Bissau)? If so, say that!

Hope this all makes sense! Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:36, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
