Notability[edit]

WP:notability / Wikipedia:Starting_an_article#Things_to_avoid "A single sentence or only a website link" is not worthy of an article. However, should the article include info and facts liek other cyclones/hurricanes/tornadoes it could be notable, but not as it stands now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lihaas (talk • contribs)

With more than 100 causalities, the storm is clearly notable. Also the length of an article does not determine notability. --ThaddeusB (talk) 19:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What would this be considered, a derecho? CrazyC83 (talk) 17:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe its a norwester which is a type of dercho apparently.Jason Rees (talk) 17:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pucca[edit]

Americans don't know what "pucca" is. I couldn't find a Wikipedia or Wiktionary article that I could link the word to, for an explanation. Art LaPella (talk) 01:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Dream Focus has started an article on pucca homes. I had originally linked the term pucca assuming that would do the trick, but that actually points to some unrelated company that happens to have the same name. I'll try to expand the new pucca homes article tomorrow, if no one else does. --ThaddeusB (talk) 03:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong map[edit]

The map is wrong. It shows the states of India and Bangladesh who have been affected partly by the storm. That's a mistake commonly seen on Wikipedia. While the derecho might have had a length from several hundered kilometers it does not affect the country in that manner. The map is therefor original research and should be replaced through a map which indicates where the dereche actually did affect the country in real. --Matthiasb (talk) 04:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

additional information[edit]

The storm sounds intense, is there additional information like suspected wind speeds? Was it ever named? How did it compare to other storms that have ravaged the region, past and present? What has the government done to predict and forecast future storms in order to give citizens a warning? Interesting topic Royo322 (talk) 00:49, 7 September 2018 (UTC)Arroyo[reply]
