Talk:List of Florida hurricanes

Todo
Right now I'm just making a list of the storms that effected florida...not sure if the storms that did not make a direct landfall should be included (with a few exceptions of course for hurricanes such as Ivan which should probably be included to to their impact) Anywho...All of the dates and intensity information is coming from Atlantic Tropical Storm Tracking by Year so it's just an approximation...so if possible the landfall information will need to be double checked against another source that might give specifics on landfalls. The locations are either from the breakpoint map put out by the NHC/TPC or just from my own knowledge of the area, which, dispite living in central FL for 10 years, isn't the best...anywho...I'll probably do upload these a decade at a timeDr Denim 13:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure this is the best way to do it. Also, it should be List of Florida hurricanes. In my opinion, the article should be like this.


 * 1) Intro
 * 2) Frequency
 * 3) Catastrophic Hurricanes (give a link to the Catastrophic hurricanes in Florida article)
 * 4) List of every tropical cyclone impacting the state. Be sure to give some impact, too. The impact should only be related to Florida, though. Start by giving every last storm, and if it gets to be too many storms, then we can split it up later. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * reformating will be the easy part...I figured the easiest way to go about it would be to list all of the storms that hit florida, then fill in the needed information and add the other sections...also is there a way I can change the article name without just copying the entire article to the new name and making a redirect or something to that from the current name? thanksDr Denim 15:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Notes:
 * Need to standardize the landfall reference cities and change one of the "south of the Steinhatchee River" landfalls to "near Yankeetown"


 * Yea, all you have to do is use the move button on the top of the page. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I respect Dr Denim for taking on such a gargantuan article. If you need any help give me a call. →Cycl   one1 → 14:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello again all, I'm glad to see that the article has seen so much work since I've last checked on it. Hopefully I'll find time outside of my research to help pitch in again. Keep up the excellent work! (wow I just realized it's been over a year since I started this article, time flies) also I know that there were a handful of instances of weaker systems (mayhap tropical depressions) impacting Florida that I originally skipped due to being unsure if I should include depression and subtropical storms or not (not sure if this has actually been decided on or not as of yet either)Dr Denim 03:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good. The only thing I would do is expand the pre-2000 summaries slightly, but then, that's probably just me. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 04:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

June 18, 1959
RE: "June 18, 1959: The third storm of the season, which was unnamed, made landfall as a tropical depression over Tampa Bay and exited over Cape Canaveral." This tropical storm was unnamed as it passed thru Florida, but later became The 1959 Escuminac Hurricane (or Escuminac Disaster) when it struck land again in Canada. Not sure how you want to proceed.--207.38.180.82 07:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)


 * How about we break it up like we are about to break up my Canada page. List of Florida East Coast hurricanes, List of Florida West Coast hurricanes, List of Florida Panhandle and Big Bend hurricanes, List of Florida Keys hurricanes. Would that work? Make this a disambiguation page of sorts. →Cycl   one1 → 02:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe that could work, but would splitting up by time periods be better? Splitting up by area within a state might not be the best method, especially since many storms effected more than one area. Erin effected the East Coast, West Coast, and Florida Panhandle, for example. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Didn't think of that. Time periods could work. List of Florida hurricanes before 1851, List of Florida hurricanes: 1851-1900, List of Florida hurricanes: 1901-1950, List of Florida hurricanes: 1951-1999, List of Florida hurricanes: 2000- present. Then again, the first one wouldn't have that much information, would it? I just don't really like the current layout of the article. →Cycl   one1 → 14:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

1980 split
Alright, I have an idea that I think will work It will be like every other List of XXX hurricanes article, but this article will only list storms from 1980 to the present. The rest could be divided into one or likely more subpages. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd split it farther with 1980-1994 and 1995-present. After all, the list in Florida is extremely long... CrazyC83 18:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * We'll see when it's finished. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Rename?
Wouldn't it make sense to rename this list to "List of Florida hurricanes (2000-Present)" rather than keep it at its current location with some (rather lame-looking) links to the lists of older storms. —Cuiviénen 04:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Ultimately, I plan to include an overall climatology on this page once the rest of the articles are done. However, as free time is not readily available to me, it will take some time. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Climatology would be nice. But rather than give a list of storm descriptions (which is too long for one page), what about including data on the strongest, deadliest, and costliest storms to hit florida, more like List of retired Atlantic hurricanes or List of Category 5 Pacific hurricanes?  Then have separate sub-pages that give information on each specific storm (or just have a table with links to the season article). — jdorje (talk) 15:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I quite understand what you propose. I do envision to have what you mentioned (strongest, deadliest, etc.), but I also think that recent seasons should be included. The recent seasons section is currently 27 kb, which could be close enough to make it into its own article. However, as I plan on basing this page off of the information on the sub-articles (that's allowed, isn't it?) I don't see the need to do anything too sudden until the last page (1900-1949) is complete. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Update
Is anyone monitoring this list to keep it current. It mentions a lot of figures but does not say "as of when". MacDaid (talk) 19:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
