# Talk:Hurricane Marco (2020)

Does anybody know how to make an info box, tried (but failed) and those are in most tropical cyclone articles, if not all. I like hurricanes (talk) 23:30, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

I think I have that taken care of now. The easiest way to do this is to copy the infobox from another TC article on a similar storm in the same basin, and then make the appropriate changes to the individual parameters in the infobox. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 00:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
LightandDark2000, very true. Looks like Marco's is now taken care of. LOL. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 01:02, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

So if this storm makes landfall on the USA as a tropical depression and doesn't cause significant damage, then why did it still get its own article? Is it because 1 person died?
Genevieve must've killed like 2 people before it was moved to its own article. Weird.

@Seaotter26705: It was because of the preparations, meager impacts, and the timing (Laura and Marco). Still enough to justify an article. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 22:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

NOAA properly classified it as a Tropical Storm as it made landfall. Persons unknown intend to falsify that status. Require NOAA authorization for changes? I can cite the Hurricane Center page. 67.58.130.222 (talk) 08:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Using the Convective Outlook from NHC (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/xgtwo/gtwo_archive.php?current_issuance=202008210543&basin=atl&fdays=2), it is impossible to relate the death in Chiapas to Marco. All the clouds associated with the storm are in the Carabian Sea while Chipas is close to th Pacific and under unrelated convection. I think that the journalist in the reference as been misled.

@Pierre cb: I see what you’re getting at. Looks more like a frontal feature or a wave that Marco itself. The outermost rain bands looked to be 50-100 miles away, but it is still possible that the death is related to Marco’s moisture envelope. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 18:06, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
@Destroyeraa: This is unlikely, especially that none of the NHC MARCO dicussion mention about this. Instead, they talk about the Southwest shear moving the convection away to the East of the center and warnings are issued for the tip of the Yucatan peninsula, not further west (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2020/MARCO_graphics.php).

@Pierre cb: for now we have to go with the media reports. We'll likely have to wait for the TCR to be certain whether or not it's related. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:09, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Hey, bringing this up again because of the TCR's publishing, but it says that no deaths were connected to Marco. I think we can count it as unrelated. StormedEditor (talk) 00:23, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, if anyone's watching this talk page, I'm just letting you all know that once it is expanded, copy-edited and sourced, then I might nominate it for a possible GA. Just a note. Tails Wx 21:56, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
