May I ask why we are putting the Current Storm Information section under the Preparations header and not the Meteorological History header? ChessEric ( talk) 21:40, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
We did that for Hurricane Hanna. You can move it if you want to. ~ Destroyer aa ( talk| Contribs) 21:59, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
No need. I was just wondering. Wanted to make sure we didn't change the policy in some way. ChessEric ( talk) 01:22, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
There is contradicting information in this article about how many days this hurricane broke the 2005 hurricane's record by. Is it 6 days, as it says in the summary at the top, or is it 9 days, as it says in the Meteorological History section of the article? Or are both incorrect? Please fix this. 2600:8801:2401:A400:1DD1:229F:279C:5CBD ( talk) 21:07, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
This was in Rincon, Puerto Rico. She was dragged by a river during the storm and was found today.

i don't know in what way to add it to the article so this is here for someone to put when they can ~SML • TP 16:46, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
How do we include the additional complications the pandemic causes for this year's hurricanes?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:47, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
See Draft:Hurricanes in the Bahama Archipelago. I added the ones from last year and this year, plus the Cat 5 that struck in 1932. It could use some more research, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. So, I figured I'd create a draft, in case anyone wondered about Isaias and its place in history among hurricanes in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. I included them together because they're so close together, and are geographically the same entity. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 21:40, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
I added hurricane Andrew if that helped. I like hurricanes ( talk) 01:29, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
also, are you able to upload damage in The Bahamas from hurricane Andrew. I added more storms. I like hurricanes ( talk) 03:00, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

This sentence : "A wind gust of 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) was recorded at the Ocean County Airport in Ocean County. This was not from inside the storm itself, but rather a thunderstorm from an outermost rainband. " is dubious. The reference cited @NWS_MountHolly (August 4, 2020). "https://twitter.com/NWS_MountHolly/status/1290438599100571656" ( Tweet). Retrieved 2020-08-04 – via Twitter. does not say that it is related to Isaias. It is in fact, the storm is related to a frontal system ( https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/NationalForecastChart/map.php#).

There are at least nine tornadoes, and those all happened *today*. If anyone is familiar with tornado outbreak articles, one might be needed to focus on the tornado outbreak, so this article can be more about the storm as a whole. Isaias is soon moving into the most populous part of the country with sustained winds of up to 70 mph, and I expect there to be more power outages. I already split off the paragraph in Mid-Atlantic for tornadoes, and perhaps this is premature considering it's... yanno... happening rather than a work of historic topic that we usually write about. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello, several minutes before Isaias made landfall, fires broke out in the suburbs of Wilmington that left several houses on fire, 911 dispatch & twitter tweets confirmed that fires happened and I’m wondering if it’s okay to put the description of the fires in the impacts section or not?

I've heard the news state/speculate the damage in NC to be over 12 billion dollars - but I have not seen a print source to that effect. There should be some general estimates from flyovers of the states hit by now - anyone have anything in-print on the matter? 50.111.15.47 ( talk) 14:04, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi all:
I found this BNN Boomberg expected cost at 4.2 billions $US by a group of insurance modelers (Karen Clark & Co.): https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/hurricane-isaias-expected-to-cost-insurers-4-billion-in-u-s-1.1477939
I let you decide what to do with it.

The storm track appears to be color coded and shape coded for intensity and status. The simple text says that on the page. The more descriptive text available when clicking on the image link says it more explicitly and even adds the Safir-Simpson scale, but also claims the color and shape data is described in a legend that appears in neither the main webpage nor in the linked page for the image. So there is no hope beyond guessing in understanding the color and shape coding of the graph. Thanks... 71.120.2.107 ( talk)mjd —Preceding undated comment added 11:58, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
Isaias is the costliest Category 1 Hurricane, when the damage isn't normalized, so I think that would be a good addition to the article. Hurricanehuron33 ( talk) 13:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with including this sentence as it is entirely original research. Going off the table at List of costliest Atlantic hurricanes leads to issues with verifiability since no reliable source explicitly mentions as such. The wording used is also factually incorrect since it neglects accounting for inflation, which would likely place Stan back at the top (as a rough calculation this suggests Stan's damage was $5.3 billion in 2020 USD). ~ KN2731 { talk · contribs} 04:07, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

The storm caused more than $4 billion on the US, and inflicted heavy damage on areas (notably NE. NY, NJ, PA, and DE) that usually get tropical cyclone effects. Thoughts? Maybe an effect article for the NE? ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 00:41, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Partly oppose I don't like the idea of splitting all the U.S. impacts. However, splitting out the individual states of New York and North Carolina would be fine. ChessEric ( talk · contribs) 04:56, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

The last time it failed because the article wasn't expanded, but now that it is 109 kB, I am reproposing. Previous discussion is below.

But now, I am reproposing. Article expansion occured. Maybe not for the US as a whole, but certain states like North Carolina, which got hit hard. Damage estimates are hard to find, but 4 people died. I will find a source soon. -- HurricaneTracker495 ( talk) 14:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
The image is so strecthed out, it makes the precursor more readable then the storm. I suggest cutting most of the renmant wave off, especially as the wave is not near as important as the storm. -- Hurricane Tracker 495 14:13, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
Can ya'll settle whether to called this a "rare" outbreak here and not in edit summaries. Please don't edit war. TornadoLGS ( talk) 21:36, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
The main article is only about 5,100 words, and the tornado article is 2977 words, so it could be merged in its entirety, and Isaias's article still wouldn't be too long. Seeing as it's been four years, I don't think there is going to be a significant amount of new information for this article, so merging the tornado outbreak article would improve this article (currently rated C-class). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 23:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
