	Oh, quick little thing. 1975 Transcolorado hurricane - I know the title is weird, but Jdorje nor I could think of a better one. Any comments on that? sif 	Secret internet family? 	1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane? northeast? 	Open-ocean-fish-storm 	No, I see what Mitch is saying oh "Pacific northwest" 	It affected the Pacific Northwest well I suggested British colombia hurricane 	I sort of like that, actually did it? 	Transcolorado sounds cooler yeah cuz not very often do hurricanes cross colorado 	Well, close enough. Transcolorado is a very weird name 	Transcolorado makes no sense 	better than 1975 Trans-colorado hurricane! lol redirect! 	1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane..... I like it because it isn't as specific as British Colombia hurricane (as it didn't affect BC much) ok 	that or 1975 Rocky Mountain hurricane 	Pacific Northwest is a US-centric term 	US/Canada-centric if there's a land mass we can possibly link it to, that'd be best 	but it never actually reached to coast <Hurricanehink>	The name should be US/Canada-centric, since that's where it affected <Roadgeek_Adam>	Why not Rocky Mountain - I thought they went into Canada that would be even more confusing than transcolorado <Hurricanehink>	http://www.weather.unisys.com/hurricane/e_pacific/1975/12/track.gif - it dissipated just offshore, albeit much closer to Alaska and Yukon <Hurricanehink>	(most people think SW British Colombia when you say just British Colombia) <Plasticup>	Vancouver 1975 Yukon Territory storm? <Hurricanehink>	I don't want to call it 1975 Alaska hurricane, since it didn't move ashore <Hurricanehink>	And it didn't make it to Yukon territory "the remnants quickly reached the coast of British Columbia" that's where I got my name from :p <Plasticup>	not a lot of landmarks in the open ocean <Hurricanehink>	Pacific Northwest - this looks right though the remnants of storms hit lots of places, including iceland and great britain; that's not a very good criteria for naming but then, the ship precedent ain't so great either <Hurricanehink>	Pacific Northwest refers to the overall region, and the storm was in the vicinity of the overall region <Plasticup>	did it reach the Gulf of Alaska? <Hurricanehink>	I was just looking at that, and it didn't quite make it there <Plasticup>	shucks i thought pacific northwest was a US-centric term <Plasticup>	it reached about 54 degrees north? i.e. the northwest of the US <Plasticup>	this shows the Gulf of Alaska around 54 degrees north: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/np/images/maps/GulfOfAlaska.jpg <Plasticup>	to 1975 Gulf of Alaska hurricane might be accurate <Hurricanehink>	It dissipated at 54 degrees north sketchy <Hurricanehink>	And hardly spent any time in the body of water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1975_Pacific_hurricane_12_track.png <Hurricanehink>	Whereas, Pacific Northwest is a much broader area, and I feel closer to where the storm was yeah, it was at hurricane strength well south of there |<--	jdorje has left irc.freenode.net (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) <Plasticup>	it never reached the pacific northwest though okay no objection to the pacific northwest <Hurricanehink>	But that's the broad, general region which it was near more general than british columbia and it was offshort from there much like the 2006 Nova Scotia tropical storm or whatever it was <Plasticup>	well okay <Plasticup>	you should post this log so there is a record of the discussion <Hurricanehink>	Alright <Hurricanehink>	All opposed to 1975 Pacific Northwest hurricane? opposed? <Plasticup>	It's not my favorite, but I am at peace with it <Hurricanehink>	Can we agree it's better than Transcolorado? yes <Plasticup>	less cool, more accurate <Roadgeek_Adam>	My idea, so I support <Roadgeek_Adam>	I'll move it if you'd like
