About the Record

"Just two storms, prior to Hurricane Fred, attained Category 3 intensity east of 35W...Hurricane Fred was the strongest of the three..." Enh, HURDAT lists the 1926 storm at 105 knots, equaling Fred's intensity. However, if you nitpick the wording, Fred was the strongest to form east of 35W as the 1926 storm, at least according to HURDAT, reached Cat 3 exactly at 35W. -- Watch For Storm Surge!§eb 15:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Intensity really goes by pressure and since the 1926 storm does not have a known pressure, Fred is technically stronger. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 01:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Landfall

I think it is noteworthy that the remnants are about to make landfall on the carolinas. It's extremely unusual for the remnants of a storm to survive that long. There's still a broad surface low east of SC! If it does actually make landfall, or even if not, i think it's worth adding to the article (in impact section perhaps, its bringing rain to the carolinas.) -Winter123 (talk) 20:31, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It acturally made landfall as a weak trough late on September 23 then absorbed by a cold front on 24. HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 19:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
