# Talk:1915 Atlantic hurricane season

According to Metzgen and Cain (1925) (as cited by Gischler et al. (2008)) a major hurricane hit Belize on October 15, 1915. Why is this hurricane missing here? --bender235 (talk) 14:19, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

"featured a few destructive" hardly precise encyclopedic language.

"at least 708 fatalities" vs infobox which says flatly "708 total".

"Houses submerged in sand following the Galveston hurricane" again, no need for italics.  Check for all of these.

"hurricanes reached major hurricane status" ... according to the SSHS.

The ACE thing again.  Without knowing what this scale is really like, 130 is meaningless.
I was hesitant to provide averages because I thought that such info would only available for more recent seasons, have higher ACE totals because of more cyclones and would not be a good representation of the early 20th century. But I found a source saying that the 1911-1920 average per season was 58.7--12george1 (talk) 06:48, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

"Weather Bureau" link?
Done. That was the former name of the National Weather Service--12george1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
"least $250,000" etc, inflate all these values as more than a century ago, so no context for what that now means.
I was told long ago that adding inflation values could constitute WP:OR --12george1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
"August 5 – August 19" etc, should just be August 5–19.
