Todo

It's more than a stub, but without some more content in the impact section this one should be merged. Jdorje 07:00, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and vote merge. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 18:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As it is, I vote for a merge. However, this could live if it underwent extensive surgery. Irene caused up to 15 inches of rain, stopped electricity for 700,000 Floridians, and caused $600 million in damage, along with 8 indirect deaths. The storm is notable enough for an article, but unless someone does something, it vote for a merge. Hurricanehink 20:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In this day and age, my personal minimum damage wise is usually $800 million and/or 15 deaths. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 22:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
True, and based on inflation it is $675 million. That is up there, and fairly close. This could live with some more information, in my book. Hurricanehink 00:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where that information could possibly be found, but if it is, it could live. I'm flexable. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 22:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps something could be written about Irene's contribution to the Hurricane Floyd floods in North Carolina. Jdorje 08:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Irene happened a month after Floyd, how could they be related? -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 22:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would guess he is talking about Irene's added rainfall to areas of North Carolina that were inundated from Floyd. There was up to 10 inches in North Carolina and 12 inches in Virginia. The constant rainfall since Dennis added up badly. Here are some links if anyone is interested.
There is enough information to justify the existence of this article. Someone just has to prove it. Damage in Cuba was pretty heavy, Miami Florida had rainfall totals unseen since Dennis in 1981, and North Carolina got their third storm. I vote no on the merge, but it needs work. Hurricanehink 22:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. See the references in the Floyd article; that's where I read about Irene. The USGS document in particular covers all three storms as one ongoing flood event. Jdorje 00:36, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Added Infomation Storm05 16:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not bad. Now keep going with it...find some information on north carolina. I believe there was 1 indirect death here. Jdorje 16:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Added North Carolina information Storm05 18:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's some damage pics so I don't lose them.

I'll add them later when there's more room in the article. Hurricanehink (talk) 14:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow hink, you sure have addded a lot since June 25. This must be a B-class, maybe even a GA class already. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 16:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, thanks, but I'm not done yet. I want to finish the Florida and North Carolina section first before getting it reassessed. --Hurricanehink (talk) 16:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You might want to trawl through the NRL archive, Hink. There will certainly be a better pic than a GIBBS image in there.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but NRL's archives aren't the best sometimes. They only have the last image of Irene in there. --Hurricanehink (talk) 17:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
They have a lot of images (for example this lot), you just have to know how to use it. Click on one of the red squares (the various image types), then select previous and you get a listing page like that one; selecting those gives the individual images.--Nilfanion (talk) 17:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks! I added one of the peak intensity. --Hurricanehink (talk) 17:48, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okeydoke, assess away. --Hurricanehink (talk) 16:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'm putting it up for FAC. Here goes nothing. Isn't it ironic that a merger was considered a few months ago? Also, shouldn't the importance be mid, given that it caused nearly $1 billion in damage (2005 USD)? --Hurricanehink (talk) 18:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now an FA. —Cuiviénen 03:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020

I am reviewing this as part of the FA sweeps, also looking at issues per Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/WikiProject Tropical cyclones:

CCI:

I have reduced some of the overlinking; more should be done. I have run Earwig copyvio check on multiple versions of the article, and specifically with the archived versions of public domain sources, and find no problem. While public domain text was copied in to the earliest versions of this article, it is no longer present so does not need attribution. Looking through histories of how the hurricane and season articles were built, I can find no indication of copying within needing attribution. Hurricanehink, I am marking "Satisfactory" at WP:URFA/2020 and unwatching; please ping me if there are any questions. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:58, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
