"The storm is considered to be the worst on Martinique since 1971." 1791? 1871? --Wetman (talk) 15:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering, too. ––Bender235 (talk) 15:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, my mistake. Thanks for catching that. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:54, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But why 1871? The last catastrophic hurricane struck Martinique during the 1813 Atlantic hurricane season. ––Bender235 (talk) 09:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appears I was wrong again. The actual year was 1817. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 22:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
