- ... that the 1994 Pacific hurricane season was the first to produce three hurricanes that attained Category 5 intensity, the highest rating on the Saffir–Simpson scale? Source: "Two other NE Pacific (to 180°) #hurricane seasons [aside from 2018] have had three Category 5 hurricanes: 1994 and 2002." –Philip Klotzbach via X/Twitter
- Reviewed:
- Comment: This is my fifth nomination; the first three were before the modern system. I believe it is acceptable to use X/Twitter as the source for the hook here; Philip Klotzbach is a subject matter expert on tropical cyclones.

- I'd like to help out a fellow Wikicup participant! I'll do this. Not a fan of using Twitter for the main page, everything else seems great and QPQ not needed. Anything else you could make a hook out of?. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:47, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated OlifanofmrTennant! I have an idea for a hook that focuses on one of the season's more notable storms; how's this sound?
- ALT1: ... that the 1994 Pacific hurricane season produced the farthest-traveling hurricane ever recorded? (Sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20190208010617/https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E7.html, https://wmo.asu.edu/content/tropical-cyclone-longest-distance-traveled-tropical-cyclone)

- Additionally, I may have found a better source for ALT0: https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Hyperactive-2018-Eastern-Pacific-Hurricane-Season-Ends ("Three Category 5 hurricanes with 160 mph winds formed in the Eastern Pacific in 2018: Willa, Lane, and Walaka. This ties the record set in 1994 and 2002 for most Cat 5s in one year in the basin.") Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 04:28, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
I prefer ALT0 over ALT1. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:08, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
