- And here is the human to double check - I agree that it's meeting the criteria for age, lenght, citations, quality, no copyright violations that I can see, QPQ checks out. It's an odd hook through, the "earlist third named" seems almost like a bankhanded compliment, like the least smelly pig or something, maybe that's just me? 12george1 not being well versed in storms this just seems odd to me, is that really something that's generally tracked like this?? I am more curious than anything so it's not stopping it from getting "the tick". MPJ-DK 23:59, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Are you asking whether or not this is just a random piece of trivia or something that is actually noted and recorded by the agencies responsible for tracking tropical cyclones? Yes, they do keep stats on those things. Some recent examples of explicitly mentioning such records by the National Hurricane Center include noting that Hurricane Emily in 2005 was the earliest Category 5,Tropical Storm Debby in 2012 was the earliest fourth named storm (record broken again this year), and Hurricane Arthur of 2014 being the earliest to strike the coast of North Carolina.--12george1 (talk) 01:14, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
