Comparative storm intensities

From Hurricane Andrew

Andrew was only the third Category five hurricane to hit the United States, the previous ones being Hurricane Camille, which hit Mississippi and Louisiana in August 1969, and the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, which struck the Florida Keys in September 1935.

But from 1947 Fort Lauderdale Hurricane

The Fort Lauderdale Hurricane (or Pompano Beach Hurricane or Forgotten Hurricane) was an intense category 5 hurricane that affected Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi in September of 1947.

Was this an oversight, or is there some error? --zandperl 05:18, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The hurricane was a Cat5, but made landfall as a Cat4. Jdorje 05:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What about hurricane Cleo (1964) which had a eye crossing Ft. Lauderdale? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.48.206.189 (talk) 21:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mississippi Landfall

Category 3? That's not what the best track says. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 01:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weird. The best track does not say that, though Hurdat does say the hurricane brought Category 3 conditions to Mississippi and Louisiana. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

I'd like to reorganize this to use the Storm history/Impact format that has become popular (the article basically pre-dates this format, which is now used for almost all storms). Jdorje 20:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expand the sections a little bit and this article would be A-class, possibly even worthy of GA status. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 01:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I dropped it to start due to lack of info. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citation

The most heavily-used citation on this page ( http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/easyhurdat_5106.html ) is a dead link. It's mainly cited for track information, but also cites that source in claiming that it's one of five storms to hit the US at 155 MPH or higher. I know the other three (1935, Camille, and Andrew) but I'd love to see what the fifth one is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.183.150.149 (talk) 14:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shall we name it George?

Even though HURDAT doesn't carry this name, there are two online references which acknowledge that this system was named George: The Louisiana Hurricane History and Bryan Norcross' Hurricane Almanac. There's even an AWS document naming the system George, which in this case would be the primary reference. Shall we name it George, or wait for the hurricane re-analysis to do so in HURDAT within the next several years? Thegreatdr (talk) 14:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would wait for HURDAT, personally, as the current title is what it is called more. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. No need to rush it before it is generally accepted. Infrogmation (talk) 17:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I am going to insert a line about it within the article, though, since there are a couple references for it. Thegreatdr (talk) 17:48, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
