Talk:Hurricane Dog (1950)

Todo
Of course there's not going to be much more to put in the impact section. I think it would be more interesting to add another section on the lack of pressure measurements for this storm, and why that was done. Specifically, I myself am interested to know how they got windspeed measurements without measuring the pressure. Jdorje 04:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree, jdorje. I still think Dog had lower pressure than 900mb and WAAAAYYY lower than the 979 mb they estimated on the page.


 * The 979 isn't an estimate, it's the actual measurement...taken from when the hurricane hit the Caribbean as a Category 1. But after the storm moved north and strengthened, they kept taking air windspeed measurements but stopped taking pressure measurements for some reason. &mdash; jdorje (talk) 20:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Damage
"Damage was placed at $2 million in lost revenue" ... so which is it? Lost revenue is not damage. &mdash; jdorje (talk) 04:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

GA pass
Meets all GA criteria; referenced, stable, and well-written. -Phoenix 23:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Name?
It IS "Dog", right? And not some elaborate vandal convincing everyone it's not "Doug"? Kingoomieiii (talk) 15:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, as in Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Echo in phonetic spelling.  Acroterion  (talk)  15:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

are all hurricanes going to end up as FA?

Dog "avoiding" land
In the article, it mentions Hurricane Dog as one of only 3 category 5's to avoid land - but Dog did hit, or pass by, Antigua as a hurricane, so it did not avoid land altogether. Should that be changed in the article? I think Dog should not be left as a category 5 that missed land, but as one that made a direct hit to land, like Hurricane Fabian of 2003 did so on Bermuda.

Intensity
Someone putted that Dot peaked as a category 5, with winds of 185mph, is it right? Hurricaned1234 (talk) 01:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
