Talk:Tropical Storm Christine (1973)

Review

 * Since Christine had weakened to a tropical depression by the time it passed through the Leeward Islands, wind damage was generally minimal. However, several power lines were downed and roughly 500 people lost telephone service. - Seems contradictory, and I'm wondering if there's any original research involved...

 * Overall, damage from the storm was minor, although a monetary value is not available. - Do any sources explicitly state there's no damage total available?
 * Removed that statement, although it is valid Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:19, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Tropical Storm Christine originated from a tropical wave over Africa in mid-August. - August 25 isn't really the middle of the month.

 * This record would not be neared by any other storm until Hurricane Jeanne in 1998 which formed at 17.4°W. - Can you find a better word for "neared"?

 * Although relatively disorganized by this point, satellite imagery showed large outer bands extending hundreds of miles from the storm. - The satellite imagery was relatively disorganized?

 * Shortly after reaching this intensity, increasing wind shear caused the storm to weaken as it neared the Leeward Islands. - Seems to imply that the wind shear reached "this intensity".

 * Robert Simpson, at the time the head of the NHC, stated in a press interview regarding Christine that "She's overcome a lot of odds against her development..." - And? Seems irrelevant.
 * Removed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The NHC stated in an advisory on September 2 that the storm was in a "...do-or-die situation..." referring to a trough ahead of Christine - No need for the quote. Seems like you're scrapping the bottom of the barrel here.

 * What ultimately happened with the trough?
 * It caused Christine to dissipate Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The remnants of Christine were monitored for several days before dissipating near an upper-level low on September 6. - By whom were they monitored?
 * Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * After weakening to a tropical depression, the watches and warnings were discontinued for all islands. - Sounds like the watches weakened to a TD.
 * Reworded Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Schools were closed ahead of the storm in Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands as a precaution following the issuance of flood warnings. - Too wording; try simply "Schools were closed in Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands as a precaution."
 * Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * On St. Thomas, nine emergency shelters were opened, mainly in schools, as a precaution by emergency officials. - Again, too much fluff. "On St. Thomas, nine emergency shelters were opened, mainly in schools."
 * Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * All residents were urged to have their disaster kits ready and be prepared to evacuate if told to do so. - Urged by whom?

Page Name Change Proposition
I propose the name of the page be changed from "Tropical Storm Christine (1973)" to "Tropical Storm Christine".

Why, you may ask?
 * 1) Christine was only used to name one storm in the Atlantic Basin.

 * Oppose until someone does a bit of digging. According to Weather Underground there was a Tropical Storm Christine in the SWIO during 1964. However, I am unsure of its strength.Jason Rees (talk) 11:50, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Kristine
I believe it’s Kristine not Christine? 69.123.77.217 (talk) 03:33, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Issue
There is a citation needed tag that had been placed on this article. I did check and the source mentions since 1966 rather than on record. Noah, AATalk 12:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
