# Talk:Hurricane Barbara (1953)

More everything. Note: the inline references are only needed at the end of a paragraph. There's no need to cite something 3 times in one paragraph if everything from the paragraph is from the one source. Hurricanehink 15:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

With $7m in damages and 1 death I don't see any justification for this article. — jdorje (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I merged it. Hurricanehink 15:23, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I started preparing the rainfall spreadsheet for this storm today, and hope to finish up the spreadsheet and graphics on Monday.  Thegreatdr (talk) 22:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
The rainfall graphics are done, and in their usual place.  Thegreatdr (talk) 16:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Great, thanks! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  16:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

The article is very well written, very impressive Hink (and JC, wherever you may be hiding). However, I do have a few minor quibbles to bring up. Firstly, the MWR document lists steering factors for Barbara yet you don't mention them in the article. Second, the Canadian Hurricane Center appears to disagree that the storm was extratropical when it struck Nova Scotia, maybe clarify this in the met history. Lastly, impact section is lacking the wind reports from Canada, probably best to add them since there's relatively little other data from the region. I'll be glad to pass the article once these concerns are addressed. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 00:25, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

There isn't much about steering, but I included what there was. I also mentioned the CHC bit, but I didn't mention the winds, since there wasn't any in the sources. It was extratropical at the time, so there wasn't much info. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  18:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
The winds are in the first piece of info in the CHC reference, though landfall intensities, it gives at least something for the winds in Canada. 102 km/h (63 mph) in Nova Scotia/Newfoundland and 93 km/h (58 mph) in Quebec/Labrador. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:56, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I just did some research of my own into the storm and found some additional information to include in the article

The Miami News - 50,000 evacuees sounds a bit more substantial than what's mentioned in the article. Also states five deaths in NYC (4 traffic, 1 heart attack)
Beaver Valley Times, The Daily Times, Los Angeles Times - $1.3 million in damage
Ottowa Citizen - has some preparations in Canada

OK, I added the additional info. The $1.3 million was backed up by that first source, and there wasn't much of anything encyclopediac in that Ottawa Citizen article. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  17:03, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
If you could just update the rainfall (maximum) in Virginia to match with the rainfall graphic, I'll gladly pass the article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:16, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
