Talk:1980 Atlantic hurricane season

Untitled
Allen reached 190mph. The storm details say it reached Cat 5 three times. So why does the introduction say "at Category 4 strength or stronger"? Is this a disputed landfall strength as opposed to peak strength or something?

Also ACE page says season had 11/9/2. Which was the other major hurricane? Only Ivan indicates Cat 2; none of the other storms say anything about their peak strength. I think this leaves the impression they are all Cat 1. crandles 13:15, 28 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Added Frances's peak windspeed of 115mph. crandles 17:57, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Wow, I got lucky. I didn't think the MWR had all of them. Well, there you go, another year down. Hurricanehink 14:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Good work. I uploaded 1978 as well. Hurricanehink 01:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've noticed it. Maybe I will do it tomorrow. juan andrés 02:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


 * By the way, are there any pictures of Allen other than the radar one that can be accepted? I found this one in the same report as the others. It has Allen before its peak intensity. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hurricane_Allen.JPG Jake52


 * Sure. Personally, I don't like infrared at all. Hurricanehink 02:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I think at least one must be missing. Hurricane Frances should be the 10th tropical depression, so another one must be between that and Allen. Potapych (talk) 02:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Er, wait. Maybe not. Potapych (talk) 02:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Three additional depressions are noted in the NOAA's records - two before Allen (in addition to TD 1) and one between Ivan and Jeanne. These should be added to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.203.187 (talk) 06:51, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Timeline?
The timeline is the only article that's holding up this from becoming a good topic. Does anyone plan on working on that? Would anyone mind if it gets merged? There's barely additional content in the timeline article, and it doesn't seem like a good fit for this season (not too many storms, few concurrent storms). Any thoughts? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:02, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Hurricane Karl (1980) into 1980 Atlantic hurricane season
Fails WP:NWX since there was no damage or impact. Not really a meteorological reason for the article to exist either. The records mentioned could be summarized within the season article. Noah, AATalk 14:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak keep the records are a bit numerous to fully describe in the article, tho 1989 was a quiet season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.19.68.110 (talk) 18:41, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * None of the records are substantive, more like distinctions really, and can easily be described in the season article. Drdpw (talk) 04:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support merge – This hurricane stayed over open waters and did not have any effects on land. Nor was it covered by the media in any appreciable manner. Additionally, the article is very thin on substance. Therefore, it would be better to cover the hurricane as part of the season article rather than as a standalone article. Drdpw (talk) 04:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - there isn't much more in the Karl article than what's already in the section in the season article. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:48, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
