Todo[edit]

For some reason, in Hurricane 3, it lists Euros, but that currency wasn't around until the 1990s. That should be fixed. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the source for the damages lists losses in Euros. Note the sign. Obviously, the Euro currency did not appear until the 1990s, but it is important to remain consistent with the source. CVW (Talk) 01:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So a newspaper article written in 1924 would use a currency that wouldn't exist for over 70 years? That's almost as bad as saying that taxes raised by Rome in 100AD were in excess of US$50 million. The newspaper is clearly talking about £ (GBP) not € (EUR)... Fixed in article.--CycloneAlley (talk) 18:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I apologize; that was a severe mental lapse! It was difficult to discern the exact sign from the minute text. I'm familiar with the GBP symbol as well. CVW (Talk) 01:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Heavy rainfall was reported in Mexico.[1]" why is "rainfall" linked? Did you forget the MOS? :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:42, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is people dumb enough to not know what rainfall is. :P JK, I just forgot to delink it.--12george1 (talk) 03:20, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The cyclone strengthened to a peak intensity of 135 mph (215 km/h) north of Grand Bahama on August 24." why does the infobox say 100 knots then? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:42, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Damage was minimal" you just said there was no damage! Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:42, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, there couldn't have been no damage. Even if next to nothing, there would have at least some damage because the storm flooded Ocracoke Island.--12george1 (talk) 03:20, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Most of Brownton, Georgia was destroyed by floods.[8]" get rid of the redlink. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:42, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake[edit]

The article says "The season was average with 11 tropical storms, three of which strengthened into hurricanes", when below we describe 5 hurricanes. Somebody could confirm and fix it?--KRLS (talk) 08:58, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Too: "two of those three"--KRLS (talk) 08:59, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
