Talk:Category 6: Day of Destruction

Some areas in need of improvement
I read the article and was disappointed that there was minimal discussion about the scientific issues with the miniseries. The lead mentions some controversy over it, but there is very little detail about the flaws in the rest of the article. Do category 6 hurricanes exist? I have only heard of a category 5 hurricane in real life. Has Chicago every been hit by a hurricane? Also, I wanted to read more about hurricanes after looking at this article but I had a hard time finding a link to hurricane. Wronkiew (talk) 00:54, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * There is minimal discussion because I haven't found any reliable sources discussing the film verses reality. If some can be found, it will be expanded to include that. Category 6 hurricanes are, as far as I know, purely theoretical. I do not think there is any recorded incidence of one. For your second question, Chicago has been hit by the remnants of hurricanes. For a hurricane scenarios as seen in the film (where in the hurricane forms over the great lakes), technically that isn't possible as part of the definition of a hurricane is that its tropical. You might find this article from the NSW interesting as it talks about hurricanes in Michigan and would also relate to chicago and discusses some hurricane like storms that have formed over the great lakes, including "Hurricane Huron". I've added a wikilink to hurricane in the lead to help there. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 01:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Other areas that need improvement are the continuity issues in the film. One scene (supposedly from Chicago) of boats being tossed about during the hurricane had palm tress on the shore. Trust me, we don't have palm trees in Chicago. Amusingly, this exact same scene was in Category 7 for a shot of Florida being hit. Other discontinuities include long shots of the Aon center where a nearby building exists in one shot, and is missing in another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.172.134.23 (talk) 14:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Length
"Four-hour miniseries"? 174 minutes is only three hours. 93.136.81.94 (talk) 22:45, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
