Major hurricane missing?[edit]

According to Metzgen and Cain (1925) (as cited by Gischler et al. (2008)) a major hurricane hit Belize on October 15, 1915. Why is this hurricane missing here? --bender235 (talk) 14:19, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "featured a few destructive" hardly precise encyclopedic language.
  • "the Galveston hurricane. This " why in italics?
  • "striking ... strike" repetitive.
  • "was the New Orleans hurricane" same, no need for italics.
  • "at least 708 fatalities" vs infobox which says flatly "708 total".
  • "1910–19 Pacific hurricane seasons " -> "1910s Pacific hurricane seasons".
  • "Houses submerged in sand following the Galveston hurricane" again, no need for italics. Check for all of these.
  • "hurricanes reached major hurricane status" ... according to the SSHS.
  • The ACE thing again. Without knowing what this scale is really like, 130 is meaningless.
  • I was hesitant to provide averages because I thought that such info would only available for more recent seasons, have higher ACE totals because of more cyclones and would not be a good representation of the early 20th century. But I found a source saying that the 1911-1920 average per season was 58.7--12george1 (talk) 06:48, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "in the Bahamas. The storm" overlinked.
  • "became extratropical upon" overlinked.
  • "Weather Bureau" link?
  • "least $250,000" etc, inflate all these values as more than a century ago, so no context for what that now means.
  • I was told long ago that adding inflation values could constitute WP:OR --12george1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "August 5 – August 19" etc, should just be August 5–19.
  • " 940 mbar (hPa)" not mentioned in the description, where referenced? Check all these.
  • "into an extratropical cyclone over" overlinked.
  • SSHWS is used a lot but it seems the article is just at SSHS?
  • The title of that article has been moved a few times in the past several years. I fixed them in the article to match with that article's title--12george1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Province, Cuba, at the" Cuba overlinked.
  • "into the Gulf of Mexico. Around" ditto.
  • "the Guanahacabibes Peninsula, including a" ditto.
  • "Tides in St. Petersburg exceeded" ditto.
  • "city of Apalachicola recorded" ditto, and no need to reintroduce as "city of" unless it's ambiguous.
  • "surface trough developed" overlinked.
  • "southeast of Bermuda on September" ditto.
  • "into an extratropical cyclone several hours" same.
  • ""Newfoundland.[3] The" also.
  • "entered the Gulf of Mexico. The" ditto.
  • "gales in Jamaica resulted" ditto.
  • "observed in Havana, well" ditto.
  • "and the Mississippi River south" ditto.
  • ""reported in Alabama, especially" ditto.
  • "m a trough ... Bahamas. ... extratropical cyclone ... Bermuda ... Gulf of Mexico. ... –Texas ... Newfoundland.[2]" all overlinked.
  • Ref 24 should use spaced en-dash, not hyphen.

That's enough on first pass. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:37, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
