Talk:Hurricane Kate (1985)

Typo
It was found a typo in the article: It is not Jamacia, I'm pretty sure that is Jamaica. Juan andrés

I fixed the typo, sorta. I removed all references to Jamaica, as they were not affected by the hurricane. Hurricanehink 01:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Todo
Structure is quite good; it just needs some more on impact. Jdorje 20:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Better? Hurricanehink 02:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Make sure you retain precision in converting units. 5.8 inches should be 150 mm (2 digites), not 147.3 mm. Jdorje 02:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, I meant to do that for all of them, but I guess I missed that one. Good catch. Hurricanehink 03:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)



Importance
I don't see why a billion-dollar storm in today's terms is Low-importance. It doesn't deserve to go any higher than Mid, but still. --Dylan620 ( Home •  yadda yadda yadda  •  Ooooohh! ) 16:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Mid is fine. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

The NHC just released a paper confirming that Kate is the latest US hurricane landfall. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:03, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've added it.  HurricaneFan 25  12:31, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Ida: First November hurricane since 1985?
I was fixing my edit when it got reverted ... sorry, I meant Gulf of Mexico, per Jeff Masters here. - Dank (push to talk) 22:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be correct. You can add that line into the article, but you can't use a blog for a reference where primary source information (like HURDAT) is available as a reference.  Thegreatdr (talk) 00:25, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I caught one in the Impact section
-- Cape San Blas is in Gulf County. Okaloosa is much farther west. --DuneDancer (talk) 19:56, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
