The Sand box says there were 7 when their were 8 according to the infomation contained on the page and so i am going to edit it to say 8 any problems with this? Jason Rees 19:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Yes, I have a problem with that. There were 4 tropical storms and three subtropical storms, though one of those tropical storms was once a subtropical storm. That might be where the confusion is. Hurricanehink ( talk) 19:58, 16 September 2006 (UTC) reply

ive just been doing some research on Google and Subtropical storm Bravo became Hurricanne Betty

my source is the candian hurricanne center - http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/weather/hurricane/storm72.html Jason Rees 20:11, 16 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Yea, there are 7 according to the page. It says it in Hurricane Betty's section that it was named Bravo, though Betty's naming as a tropical system superceded the name Bravo. Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC) reply

• Ref for the opening sentence?

• Does that work?-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• Wasn't Agnes the costliest at the time? Ask Jason Rees for old copies of the Atlantic Frequently Asked Questions, pretty sure there is a list as of the 70s, and that Agnes was costliest until Frederic

• Correct-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "with only four tropical storms, four subtropical storms, and three hurricanes." - kinda misleading, as one of the subtropical storms became tropical

• Fixed-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• Is it proper format to capitalize "The Carolinas"?

• No :P-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• Watch for rounding (Alpha)

• Did I get it?-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "A polar front and an upper trough over the Yucatán Peninsula and eventually spawned a tropical depression by June 14. " - weird way to start a section. Was there a chance the TD formed earlier? I think the sentence could be cleaner

• I don't there a TD formed earlier.-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• I don't think you need to say unknown effects for Yucatan

• Fixed-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "In Florida, Agnes caused a significant tornado outbreak, with at least 26 confirmed twisters, though two of them were spawned in Georgia." - did the Georgia tornadoes reach Florida? If not, idk if they should be mentioned here. Or just say "tornado outbreak that extended into Georgia".

• No. The tornadoes got confused and touched-down in Georgia instead of Florida :P -- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• I feel like you totally gloss over Agnes's effects outside of Florida. More info is definitely needed

• Better?-- 12george1 ( talk) 17:11, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "Overall damage was generally light, with total monetary losses valued at $1.78 million and four deaths are blamed on the storm." - poor grammar

• I it fixed :P -- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "west-northward" - is this WNW, NW, or NNW?

• North-southeast by west-west :P-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "the cold low pressure area relinquished of Dawn" - what does this mean?

• Fixed-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "The system nearly struck the Sea Islands" - if it nearly struck an island group, then you should say "approached" or something. That's more natural than "nearly struck."

• Fixed-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• Where did Charlie come from? Also, what happened to its remnants? The last thing you say is that it became ET

• MWR doesn't specify. Better with the second part?-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delta's entire section is wrong. (Check the movement). Also, how did it encounter "unfavorable conditions"? That's not in the BT

• Fixed-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "In addition to the named storms and otherwise notable cyclones" - you don't have any other storms

• Fixed-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• What was TD 5's peak rainfall?

• "though up to 8 in (200 mm) was recorded on Cedar Island, North Carolina."-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• "Another tropical depression developed about 800 mi (1,300 km) east-southeast of Bermuda" - when?

• April 29, 1504 :P -- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

• Don't say things like "A seventeenth tropical depression". If it was called TD 17, call it that. Do that for the whole TD section. Also, did this TD form over land? (Over Guinea-Bissau)? If so, say that!

• Most of them weren't numbered, so I'm not gonna say "the seventeenth tropical depression". Also, it didn't form over Guinea-Bissau-- 12george1 ( talk) 04:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Hope this all makes sense! Hurricanehink mobile ( talk) 00:36, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply
