... that along with fatalities and damages, 1957's Typhoon Virginia also damaged 14 ships?

Frankly, not a very interesting or unusual hook. It is not uncommon for tropical cyclones to damage ships, even with such numbers. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:55, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most storms are just like all other storms, so (while I get that they're a popular topic with a devoted following) there's usually not much to say that will be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest. This one reached category 5 and made landfall so I would assume something unsual happened. If not, then maybe it's just not a good fit for DYK. RoySmith (talk) 22:42, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer: Please address the above.--Laun chba ller 13:09, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will do tomorrow. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 13:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator never addressed this; they have also since received a TBAN from content processes including DYK. I recommend this be rejected unless another user wishes to take conduct. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:08, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concurring with NLH—run-of-the-mill storm-destruction factoid. Someone might look further into this page for any more-interesting details. (Coincidentally, I'm typing this as Milton inches closer to my area...) --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 11:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as obviously not going anywhere. RoySmith (talk) 01:51, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
