# Talk:Typhoon Babe (1977)

Content is good.  The storm history and impact need to be separated to give the article a little structure.  Some grammar also needs fix. Jdorje 19:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I noticed a few "shes" in the article.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:18, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The storm track shows Babe of the Atlantic. What's with that!Icelandic Hurricane 21:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

That's because there was a Babe in the Atlantic at the same time, and the Atlantic Babe got its track map first. Hurricanehink 20:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Yep, when I first decided on the naming format for the track maps I asked Eric if the had ever been 2 storms in the same year with the same name, but I don't think I waited to get an answer.  Babe's not the only one...there also the Alices of 1954 (which I called Alice1 and Alice2).  Now for my next question...which Babe was first, the Atlantic or Pacific one? — jdorje (talk) 21:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Hm, nevermind about the order.  But the question is: are there any other instances of 2 named storms with the same name in the same year? — jdorje (talk) 21:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
WPAC Babe reached TS status only 24 hours before Atlantic Babe. A quick check on the List of tropical cyclone names used in more than one basin shows these:
Alex (1998)- Atlantic and WPAC
Alice (1953)- Atlantic and WPAC, 2 Alices in Atlantic in 1954
Betty (1972)- Atlantic and WPAC
Carmen (1974)- A and WPAC
Fabian (1985)- A and WPAC
Irma (1978)- A and WPAC
Linda (1997)- EPAC and WPAC

Ugh.  Where does this list come from?  Digital Typhoon shows no Alex of 1998 (but does show Alice of 1953). — jdorje (talk) 01:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Unisys and JTWC show an Alex in 1998. Hurricanehink 01:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd add when Babe became a typhoon in the lead. YE Pacific Hurricane

You should mention that Ryuku is part of Japan because the layman may or may not now that and thus be confused by the first sentence. YE Pacific Hurricane

"Coincidentally, Typhoon Babe and Atlantic Hurricane Babe existed at the same time from September 3–9.[3]" too trivial IMO for lead. YE Pacific Hurricane
I feel that this is the most appropriate place since it is a little factoid not related to the actual history of the storm. It doesn't have a place in the Met. Hist. as suggested in my opinion. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
"Hours later, a weather reconnaissance mission into the depression revealed winds of 75 km/h (45 mph), prompting the JTWC to designate the system as Tropical Storm Babe. [2] " m space between ref. YE Pacific Hurricane

"while situated approximately 465 km (290 mi)" 465 is kinda random number so would "approximately" be good here? YE Pacific Hurricane
It's fine as is. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
"Up until September 8, Typh" no need for "Up" IMO. YE Pacific Hurricane
Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
"Coincidentally, Typhoon Babe and Atlantic Hurricane Babe existed at the same time from September 3–9.[3]" stick that lead sentence at the end of the 3rd paragraph of the MH somewhere. YE Pacific Hurricane
See previous response on this tidbit. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Link to MWR and NOAA in Ref 3. YE Pacific Hurricane
Link to AP in ref 7. YE Pacific Hurricane
Link to UPI in ref 8. YE Pacific Hurricane
Otherwise, it's very good. YE Pacific Hurricane 12:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

That should meet all the concerns. Thanks for the review YE! Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC).
