Importance

Once the final death toll and damages come in, should the article be high in importance? --Yueof theNorth 00:45, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Already upped it to high. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 00:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Death totals

Tropical Storm Agatha has now killed 102 (at last check) people, which qualifies it for listing at the Pacific hurricane list. I've taken the liberty of adding it there. Agatha is now the deadliest Pacific hurricane since Pauline. I'd love to be wrong, but I'm doubtful fewer than three of the 40+ missing people are alive. Once their inevitable deaths become official, Agatha will move past Ismael as the sixth-deadliest Pacific hurricane. Should the worst happen and more than (at least) 235 die, Agatha will be the fifth-deadliest Pacific hurricane, qualifying it for listing on the template.

Storm-related sinkholes

CNN Article - This article shows a picture of a monstrous sinkhole caused by the storm. Now none of this is new, i live in florida, and it happens all the time, but the fact that it happened in the middle of a heavy urban area is probably important to at least mention in the article, even just to highlight the other dangers besides landslides and flooding of storms such as Agatha. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.138.221 (talk) 01:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I wonder how deep that is?--DAI (Δ) 14:07, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I tried to get a picture but the filters kept getting it. Just google Sinkhole Agatha in images and you'll get all of them.

Interesting Note

Agatha is the deadliest eastern pacific tropical cyclone so far in the 21st Century, not sure if that bears any mention or if it is trvial. -Marcusmax(speak) 03:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
