Talk:Hurricane Leslie (2018)

Damage cost
I don't know if it should be mentionned because damage in France are indirect but they have been estimated at roughly 200 millions of euros : http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-eco/2018/10/21/97002-20181021FILWWW00056-inondations-dans-l-aude-des-degats-de-l-ordre-de-200-millions-d-euros-le-maire.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB1D:87E3:1100:8D7B:D2D0:60F3:25B3 (talk) 14:08, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Image for Leslie as an extratropical cyclone
I added the to this article which depicts Leslie at its peak intensity as an extratropical cyclone during that time frame.

added which is Leslie shortly after becoming an extratropical cyclone.

My question is, which do you guys prefer. I personally like the Original better as it shows the peak as an ET. Figfires Send me a message! 04:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Bermuda?
From what I can see of Leslie's track, it did not impact bermuda. I may be wrong about this though, I'm going to check the NHC's archive. Also I removed the US East Coast as being affected, because Leslie never came close to the East Coast. Remember....articles have to remain factual. GokuSS400 (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Edit: After reviewing Weather.com's track of Leslie, I'm going to remove Bermuda as being affected as it was too far away, and no watches/warnings were ever issued for Bermuda either GokuSS400 (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * It never affected the US or Bermuda directly, although it did bring high surf to the areas, it might be helpful to clarify, however I would remove your edits BananaIAm (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

How long?
On the longest duration list for Atlantic tropical cyclones it shows Leslie as number 4. I’m just here to ask if this is true or not. Leslie supposedly lasted longer than Nadine of 2012. Does anyone have a scource for this claim? Swivel Here (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Things to do before GAN

 * Deaths need to be more detailed. The Portugal ones literally have nothing other than they died. The France ones need more detail as well. Details such as how people died, location, etc..
 * TCR should be added, but is not required. Figfires Send me a message! 18:03, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I know this is late and probably doesn't matter, but the TCR isn't out yet so it can't be added quite yet. --YellowSkarmory (talk) 00:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Something wrong with Leslie's TCR
Seriously, what in the heck is wrong with the link for Leslie's Tropical Cyclone Report? The link ends up leading to a page with a message stating that "access is forbidden" (and this is the first time that I've come across something like this for any TCR page). Does anyone know what's going on here? Maybe someone should message one of the analysts at the NHC to notify them of this issue.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 09:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Lets wait and see what happens as the NHC website is in the middle of being redesigned to accomodate CPHC.Jason Rees (talk) 11:33, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Split the MH?
The MH of Hurricane Leslie is arguably one of the most interesting Met histories in the history of tropical cyclones. There is already a lot of info about the MH already in the article, and there could be more info added (the article isn't GA or FA). Additional info will make the article seem very long, and readers who are interested in only the MH can ready a different article dedicated to the MH. Readers who are only interested in the impacts and are semi-interested in the MH can read a sligtly shorter MH and the impacts. Comments? ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 15:40, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose The MH is one of the main reasons the storm has an article. A similar analogue is hurricane Kyle (2002), which had a separate MH article at one point, but was eventually merged back in because there wasn't much to the article outside of the MH. Another example is Cyclone Leon-Eline, which did have substantial impacts outside of its MH, but there wasn't really enough to split the MH. Sub-articles should only really be considered when the main article is too long (so more than 100 kb). Leslie isn't anywhere near that. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:59, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose I have to agree with Hink here, Category:Meteorological histories of individual tropical cyclones is generally reserved for the extremely high-impact storms where leaving the MH in its entirety would actually make the article too long to navigate comfortably. Leslie's only at 37 kB with less than 13kB of prose, which is decent. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 16:14, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose This entire article is literally JUST the MH. Other than being active for a ridiculous amount of time and causing moderate damage, Leslie did nothing. If it had caused more impacts, I would support a split, but as far as I'm concerned, I think it should stay the way it is.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 18:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose If this article is about 100-200s KB, then I might support the split.  SMB9 9thx   my edits  02:40, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Spelling correction required
I've made a few spelling corrections throughout the article. Please could someone check the section "Initial peak intensity and weakening" - in the second paragraph, there's a line that reads "Convection rtiringed over the storm's center later that day" - however I can't figure out what "rtiringed" is actually meant to say. (Also, forgive me for being dumb, but why hasn't this been protected due to it being the featured article? Vandalism is a thing.) Jack talk 09:11, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , I've just put in a request for semi-protection at WP:RFPP. The "rtiringed" was leftover vandalism and was originally "refired". ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 09:52, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Additional issues
The article says: "Multiple waterspouts occurred in the Gallic portion of France."


 * First, waterspouts occur in the ocean, so wouldn't it be better to say "near" France?


 * Second, what is the "Gallic portion of France"? Isn't all of France Gallic?

It also says "Collectively, €17 million (US$20 million) was paid in advance to claimants."


 * In advance of what? I'm sure no insurance company paid damage claims before the damage occurred.
