Talk:Hurricane Easy (1950)

Looks good, great sources and organization. Could use some more pictures if at all possible. --Coredesat talk! 00:54, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Cool. I tried finding another pic (radar or damage), but I had no luck. The only way other picture that could possibly occur is if David Roth does a rainfall pic, though he's not in that time period yet. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect information

I removed the statement which reported that Easy "was the first hurricane to strike the Florida Keys since 1919." This is blatantly false. You cannot forget the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, which was a direct strike upon the islands. In addition, hurricanes struck the Keys during 1945 and 1948. Look at the list of Florida hurricanes, too. The previous information directly contradicted the rest of Wikipedia's sources and articles. I just wanted to bring this fact to your attention.

This is a very good article. Here is some comments.

Lead

• "After crossing Cuba, the hurricane rapidly strengthened in the eastern Gulf of Mexico to reach peak winds of 125 mph" metric conversions.
• "From the point when Hurricane Easy entered the Gulf of Mexico until it weakened to a tropical storm, it was observed nearly constantly from radars or Reconnaissance Aircraft.[1]" Now need for sources in lead if they are already mentioned in the article.

MH

• "After executing its first loop, Hurricane Easy moved northeastward at 7 mph (11 km/h) until making landfall near Cedar Key on September 5 with winds of 120 mph (190 km/h)" Which category on the hurricane scale?
• "Steering currents again became weak, resulting in Easy to execute a second loop in 24 hours towards the southeast."Sounds a lttle strange

Impact

• Retitle section Preparations and Impact.
• "Experienced the eye of the hurricane for 2 1/2 hours" It should be "experienced the eye of the hurricane for 2 and a half hours
• "While looping twice along its path, the hurricane dropped heavy amounts of rainfall of 10 in (250 mm) to 20 in (510 mm) in large portions of northwestern Florida. Rainfall totals include 24.5 inches in Cedar Key in 3 days" Meric conversions would be nice
• "Described as the worst hurricane in the Cedar Key area in 70 years, Hurricane Easy left half of the houses destroyed or unfit for rehabilitation, while 90% of the others were damaged.[5] The strong winds destroyed the roofs of 150 homes and buildings" Reword the first part.

References

• "Barnes, Jay (2007). Florida's Hurricane History Chapel Hill Press. ISBN 0807824437." This is random. If you are used it {{cite book}} it and cite where you specifically used it.

In all, nice article. I am putting it on hold for now. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

Fixed everything but two: I avoided the SSHS note, since the Saffir-Simpson scale wasn't made until the 1970s, and the book is used twice in the article, which has the page reference in the article. Hope that works! Hurricanehink (talk) 18:30, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Ok. I will pass the article. Nice work and Godd luck on your GT/FT. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

It'd be good to get more impact, and there are some small MoS issues, but overall, it's a B. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
