Content
[edit]I hate to be the one who brings it up, but the content in the article is largely the same as what's in the season article. The damage and deaths were not directly caused by the storm, so the $750 million damage figure is not correct. Isn't there any more, new information? ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, it is much more detailed than the season article, especially in the storm history. There is also more info on preparations. And no, a google search turned up nothing, and since the hurricane newspaper archive is down I guess there isn't much more to expand it with. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 21:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
