Talk:Hurricane Carrie

Rename

Because the hurricane wasn't retired or unique, it should be renamed, much like Hurricane Bertha (1996) and all the non-retired 2004/2005 storms. Jdorje 17:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

All the non-retired 2004 storms have already been moved or started at their new locations. (The 2005 storm articles that don't break disambiguation pages should take wait and see approaches because surprise retirements could happen). Anyway, for Carrie, it's a tough call - it's not on the current list and has primarily been known for this storm - the precedents are Hurricane Edith and Hurricane Faith.

Todo

I put this as Start-class just because of the lack of notable info. Of course, there may not be any more info out there, but maybe a records/trivia section could be added. It might also be possible to add more information about the rescue effort. Jdorje 07:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Down to stub - storm history alone does not justify Start class. – Chacor 04:25, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge it? While the deaths were sad, it looks like there might not be enough info for an article. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, there's a lot of newspaper reports on the storm. As it is, it should be merged, but if someone expands it, like the original author (whom I contacted), I'll be fine with keeping. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

There is more than a storm history, we do have some impact on here... CrazyC83 16:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Very little, and possibly not enough to justify keeping an article. Hurricanehink (talk) 16:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

There is a very small amount of information on Carrie available, probably not enough to save it. It should probably be merged. --Coredesat (talk) 23:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, I merged it. Hurricanehink (talk) 00:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• "Hurricane Carrie was the deadliest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record to not make landfall." - Well, since this fact does not appear in the body of the article, there needs to be a citation for it here. Alternatively, you could find a different opening sentence.

 Done - Changed opening to its original state. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• "across and a minimum pressure of 945 mbar (hPa; 27.91 inHg)." - You should mention that this was the lowest in relation to Carrie.

 Done - Added in. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• Why did Carrie re-curve sharply to the northeast on September 17? Hint: you can find that answer in The Weather And Circulation Of September 1957.

 Done - The article already states "However, as it curved and accelerated eastward in response to a second trough of low pressure..." which is the same thing explained in the Weather and Circulation publication. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• "areas from Block Island south to Savannah, Georgia on September 7" - Are Block Island and Savannah in the same state?

 Done - Added Rhode Island. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• "a slight chance of being affected by the storm,[6] but chances decreased after the hurricane curved northwards" - Is there any way you can cut out one of the chance/chances.

 Done - Changed the latter to 'possibilities.' TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• "forecast to potentially impact Bermuda, schools were closed in preparation for Carrie's impact," - Similar issue here, except the key word this time is "impact".

 Done - Removed the latter. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• Why no locations for References #1, #2, #17, and #19?

 Done - Added Miami, Florida to all. As for #2 it was a template so I edited the template to display the location. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• That should be it for now.--12george1 (talk) 05:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reivew! TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Good job TheAustinMan. I will now pass this article in accordance to the Good Article standards.--12george1 (talk) 15:29, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
