Replacement

According this page, the name Inez was replaced by Isabel. But I couldn't find the information about it. Please tell me the web site which describes it.--HERB 15:05, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

Infobox picture is the wrong shape. Impact is nearly non-existent. Jdorje 05:50, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Sigh), I tried to give a little more impact, but, dude, there is nothing on this storm! I couldn't find anything! It's still next to nothing on the page. →Cyclone1→ 00:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Damn, that sucks. Hurricanehink 00:45, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, 1966 doesn't have the NHC data online for some silly reason (1965 and 67 do). One minor tweak, alter that pic.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

This article needs to be either remade or merged. The information box and picture needs to be fixed a bit, and the introduction, storm history, and impact sections are not written very well or detailed. If nothing can be done, I vote for a temporary merge. CapeVerdeWave 02:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huge no on merge. This hurricane was retired. It can still be remade. I doubt many people even check up on this storm. If anyone wants to, they can just do what I've done before. Rewrite each section, section-by-section until it's good. The main problem with this storm is that there's not a lot of information on it. Here's a little info I found.

3 killed and $5.5 million in damage
Monthly weather review- 45 deaths in Florida keys, info on other places as well
Two Tornadoes in Florida

I'm sure there's more, but I don't have time to look through all of Google. --Hurricanehink (talk) 18:45, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I improved the introduction and storm history sections and added sources. I am going to remake the entire article, add more details and sources, improve the writing, and expand/improve the impact section and try to add a detailed preparations section. Does it already look better? I might change the introduction and storm history sections around a bit until I find the writing and deatails look best. Is that OK as well? CapeVerdeWave 04:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The overall format is a lot better. Good luck remaking the article. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I found an interesting radar image I added. Does it look good, or is there a problem with it (e.g., copyrighted)? CapeVerdeWave 03:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice pic. It's Public Domain, as it's part of NOAA (it's mentioned at the top). --Hurricanehink (talk) 21:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Book info

Here are a few scanned pages from Barnes, Jay (2007). Florida's Hurricane History. Chapel Hill Press. ISBN 0-8078-3068-2. on the effects of Inez in Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas for inclusion in the article. The first page is page 231 and the last is 234 (I just typed that one out, because scanning it was too much work). This stuff is mostly available on Google Books, so there shouldn't be a copyright problem. Juliancolton (talk) 03:49, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"the first such storm on record to affect those areas." so, prior to 1966 no storm ever affected the Bahamas, Caribbean, Florida, and Mexico. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Correct. Inez was the first to affect all of those areas. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"since the 1920s" which storm in the twenties? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The newspaper didn't say. If I had to guess, they actually meant a hurricane in 1935 that killed thousands. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"As many as 1,000 people were killed" No need for the first three words IMO, they don't add any value. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But it wasn't exactly 1,000, since Haiti's total is unknown. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"There, 125,000 people were forced to evacuate, and there were three deaths and $20 million in damage." I think you are entering a phase where you say "there" a zillion times, just change one to "throughout the island" or something like that. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops :/ Thanks. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"84,000 peopl" don't start a sentence with a number. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Was curious if someone would catch that :P --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" tropical depression in the annual tropical cyclone summary on September 18. " annual? do you mean daily? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No, the MWR covers all of 1966. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"a Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale." a Category 3 what? A typhoon? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- Given the article is on Hurricane Inez, and there's a link, I don't think I have to specify that it was clearly a volcano :P --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" The eye emerged into the Windward Passage near Léogâne, although severely weakened; the pressure rose to 987 mbar (29.1 inHg),[3] and the winds decreased to 90 mph (150 km/h) over land." I'd do one or two things here, split up the sentences and/or move the "over land" to before the semicolon. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- K. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Throughout the country, Inez killed about 100 people,[" why is this not exact? Did people go IDK how many ppl died do to Inez, let's just say 100. If they did, I understand. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Dominican Republic was pretty poor back then, so they didn't have an exact total. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Inez was considered a "dry hurricane" oxymoron. What is a "dry hurricane"? One with little rain and a lot of wind? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- Yea, it had much less rain than usual, and, as for the rest of the sentence, that led to more salt spray than usual. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"The Dominican Republic Air Force" link it if it has an article? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:19, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, added. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
