Agatha
An interesting error on Agatha. The NHC track map (in the infobox) and at the NHC's archive both state Agatha was a hurricane (its type H not TS). However the TCR is for a 55kt TS and the track map itself shows that it never became a hurricane...--Nilfanion (talk) 22:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Very interesting indeed. Maybe they initially planned on upgrading Agatha to hurricane status in post-analysis? I dunno, but they are only humans. I suppose they're free to make mistakes once in a while. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Its just a very simple typo by whoever made the track map up (they put a H in instead of T). The track map itself shows that Agatha was a TS. I corrected the commons map.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, T and H aren't that easy to mistake. Thanks for correcting it. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It says Hurricane Agatha here too . It mentions 55 knots as well. I guess they said that because it had an eye. Good kitty 00:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Todo
I don't think this is in danger of FAR, but I'd like to see a seasonal summary section added as well as the removal of some overlinking. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  16:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Javier
In an abandoned sandbox I have discovered sometime ago, there is a bit of a information about Javier's damage and deaths. Apparently, Javier caused 162 deaths and $1.5 billion. At least 162 people were killed by flash flooding and mudslides caused by Javier. Unofficial reports indicate that upwards of 1,000 people were killed by the storm, making Javier one of the deadliest tropical cyclones to form in the basin. At least 450,000 people were left homeless and damages from the storm amounted to $1.5 billion. Should I add this information to the main article? I'm not sure if this is reliable.

 * I don't believe those rains and floods were directly caused by Javier. The Weather Prediction Center links the heaviest rainfall to Tropical Storm Frances, over 40" in Chiapas, and CNN/Reuters confirms that the deadly floods occurred in Chiapas. Javier mostly caused rains on the west coast. If anything, I'd suggest a dedicated September 1998 Mexico floods article. For now, the content is in the Frances article, although some of it is unsourced. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:24, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
