:WHO KNOWS THEY DIDN'T HAVE SATELLITES BACK THEN!!
::While they didn't have satellites, they did have enough ship and land reports to construct surface maps.  One of the ways of estimating storm size is to measure the distance between the storm center and the outermost closed isobar, known as ROCI (radius of the outermost closed isobar).  The other method of estimating storm size is to judge its gale radius.  While this can be estimated using satellite imagery, it is not the primary way the radius of gale force winds is computed.

message: Seems the 931 mbar pressure was from after the storm weakened to a category 4.  But in the best-track there are pressure readings from the cat5 periods, in the upper 930s.  I wonder if the MWR explains it. — jdorje (talk) 10:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Tropical cyclones can yield lower central pressures with lower wind speed when they increase in size.  While this normally happens during recurvature into higher latitudes, the bulk of the storm interacting with landmasses (Isidore 2002 and Katrina 2005) can produce lower winds than one would expect with a relatively low central pressure.

message: After looking through the article and the 8" reference, I see why the amount didn't make the rainfall graphic.  There was no specific location mentioned, just the Lower Peninsula.  If anyone can find out where that was which received 8", let me know and it will be added to the TC rainfall graphics for Carla and related pages.  Thegreatdr (talk) 04:54, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

message: In the "Elsewhere in the United States" section the sentence "Severe crop damage occurred, especially in areas of Chautauqua and Shawnee Counties to the south of the Kansas River" is problematic. Chautauqua County is on the Oklahoma border and nowhere near the Kansas River, which is in northeast Kansas. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 05:07, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The following are comments from the Sep 2023 Help desk  which note that it might be an error that Baytown, Texas (not to be confused with Bay City) was not mentioned as one of the cities that Carla significantly impacted.  See the last comment, by Cullen328, for several sources which talk of the impact on Baytown. --R. S. Shaw (talk) 20:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Remoay, all articles have talk pages - that is the standard place to discuss improvements to the article itself. If you post at Talk:Hurricane Carla and can provide reliable sources to back up your recollections, someone may eventually add the information. 57.140.16.29 (talk) 13:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Remoay I'm afraid that without any reliable sources reporting the event, this cannot be added into the article. However, as the previous user recommended, try to find some sources then post them at the talk page, and someone might add it into the article. Industrial Insect (talk) 14:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: , here is an article about Hurricane Carla's impact on Baytown. Here is another article. This book appears to be a collection of news reports about Hurricane Carla and it includes at least three articles about its impact on Baytown. I hope this helps.
