HURDAT[edit]

Hurricane Emilia attained Category 5 intensity on July 19, 1994.^[1] The previous Category 5 Pacific hurricane, Ava, lost that intensity on June 7, 1973. That is a difference of 7,712 days. The next Category 5 Pacific hurricane, Gilma, attained that intensity on July 24, 1994,^[2] four days after Emilia lost it.^[1] Emilia hence ended the longest, and began the shortest, spans of time between successive Category 5 Pacific hurricanes.^[2] Emilia was briefly the most intense tropical cyclone on record in the central north Pacific, with a lowest pressure of 926 mbar (hPa). Emilia remains the third most-intense in the central north Pacific, after Gilma and Ioke attained deeper pressures.^[2]

Close. Put Associated Press as agency, not as author. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:08, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You did not listen to us. I had to tweak the ref you added to meet the thingy Hink suggested. Also, watch out for redundancies, it is very easy to go overboard in all EPAC articles, especially for storms like Emilia. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:42, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry.i was rushing so I didn't do that because I had to get off the computer. BlueTropicalWave (Talk) 23:39, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I have to ask what redundancy is? BlueTropicalWave (Talk) 23:44, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Look it up. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Also, please do not add stuff like this that happens in every storm. However, I will say that this was a good edit. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:09, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can i put staff writter as an auther? BlueTropicalWave (Talk) 01:30, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you do that? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:35, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
