Methodology
How do you define Northeasternmost or southeasternmost? Hurricanehink 21:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Latitude + longitude or latitude - longitude. — jdorje (talk) 22:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * But using Latitude + longitude would cause a storm in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, say at 70º West and 40º north, to result in a very high number. I'm not sure if you can actually add that. You could use the distance formula and use distance from 0º West, 0º North, possibly. Hurricanehink 22:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
