Notability[edit]

Are these really that notable? That storm was crazy, but I didn't think it was all that bad compared to most of the stuff you'd get in the south or something. --Liface 21:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly notable for this area. And many news outlets have picked up the story. --Chris S. 21:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Per my comments at the WikiProject Oregon Talkpage, I think if it resulted in disaster declarations, then it is notable. Washington declared a statewide disaster for this one. [1] Katr67 22:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It affected well over a million people. Being without power in December makes for a very chilly struggle; & I heard on the news this morning that about 50,000 people in the Portland area were still without power. (I don't know how many are without power in Washington; the local news media have been oddly quiet about the storm's effects up north.) There have been an epidemic of carbon monoxide poisonings in both states, caused by running generators, which have led to at least two more deaths. And we have still to learn what the property damage will be. So, yes, I'd consider this notable. -- llywrch 00:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, which is why I made it. CrazyC83 02:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was one of those lucky million people until a couple of days ago and I don't think there has been a story of this magnitude that affected so many lives since the Nisqually earthquake. --Chris S. 04:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. According to the Seattle Times, there are 200,000 households in the region still without power.ChartreuseLight 14:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's focus on one thing[edit]

The article is attempting to cover three storms, two of which primarily affected British Columbia. But from what I understand the series of storms that those first two belong to actually extends back to November. This may be worth mentioning, especially in the British Columbia section, but for the rest of the article we should focus only of the December 14, 15 storm. (It seems that the B.C. series of storms is worthy of an article in its own right.) Punctured Bicycle 18:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may be correct in the need to break the BC series of storms into their own article. The National Weather Service doesn't seem to recognize the December 11 and 13 storms as being included the December 14 and 15 event.[2] The article seems to be rather light in information of the 11 and 13 storm as well, so there probably isn't harm in not including those storms. --Bobblehead 20:01, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page name[edit]

In case anyone was wondering about the storm's name: December wind storm now dubbed the Hanukkah Eve storm from the Seattle times. -RunningOnBrains 18:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kate Fleming[edit]

My understanding, if I remember news stories correctly, is that Kate Fleming was trapped in her basement because she ran back into her house to try to save her belongings. (I seem to remember watching a news story about her death and scoffing at the fact that it would have been her own fault for re-entering the basement of a flooding house, thus trapping herself). If this is the case, it needs to be added to the "controversy" section, since it offers a counter argument that the city shouldn't be responsible. -- 67.42.107.14 (talk) 22:37, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
