Talk:Tropical Storm Erika

Dissipation
Erika's just dissipated, can we update the article to reflect this? Izmik (talk) 13:02, 29 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is true. Maybe the can be modified. Also, all warnings for the storm have been removed as of 09:30, 29 August 2015 (EDT). —Skyllfully (talk &#124; contribs) 18:03, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Pressure
Can someone explain why we are not using the running best track's central pressure of 1001 mb? I was reverted without much explanation. Supportstorm (talk) 18:21, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Policy for the NHC/CPHC AoR. The operational best tracks aren't really intended to be used by the public, the info is just out there because it's an open government agency. We use their operational advisories to avoid confusion until the TCRs are released. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:44, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Map
What happened to the strength map? It went further than Puerto Rico but it only says to there. Mitch199811 (talk) 03:18, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The strength map shows the history of the storm when it was considered a tropical cyclone. While it did go further than Puerto Rico, it was the remnants of the storm, and so that is not shown on the map. 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 13:25, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
