Talk:1996 Lake Huron cyclone

message: This is really interesteing, but not being a weatherman or climatologist makes it hard to understand what the heck this article is talking about and get a picture idea of what happened. This "Great Lakes hurricane" was an extremely interesting storm event even for the us laypeople, too. Is there any way that the article can separate the technical stuff and add a layperson's section of what the heck happened (like the path, any damage, wave heights, you know the usual exciting stuff that sells the weather report after a storm). There surely has to be non-technical descriptions of what happened. Thanks!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.0.250 (talk) 04:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Being a meteorologist helps some, but the source was interpreted in such a way that some portions were incomprehensible.  I've made an attempt to clean up the first few paragraphs, adding in wikilinks and convert templates where necessary.  Thegreatdr (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

text: There's a lot of references to it on google, and enough information for an article, so why not?  Surely its more notable than Tropical Storm Lee (2005). Jamie|C 13:38, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: To do

message: It would be really helpful if the two units of windspeed were not both metric (m/s; km/h).  I mean, after all, the lakes are in the US as well.  Can anyone do the conversion? Unschool (talk) 04:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to look through newspapers, both on and offline to see if we can get better quantification on damage, this "Whale in a bathtub" of a storm did to the surrounding area.Graham1973 (talk) 15:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Damages? 

message: I'd consider myself an expert in cyclones, and my brain is exercised to read this. needs some "dumbing down" or at least a weathergeek-to-english translation.  --Bowser the Storm Tracker  Chat Me Up 05:19, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. At the very least, the impact section needs to be more than one sentence. As it stands, this reads like a great scientific journal article. Sadly, that's inappropriate for general interest encyclopedia. Not saying the technical info must go, but it shouldn't be all that the article consists of. There's no consideration for the laypersons here. oknazevad (talk) 16:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: See if the first few paragraphs of the text make more sense, or are more understandable.  If so, I'll continue.  Thegreatdr (talk) 20:33, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks quite a bit better. Still could use some beefing up in the impact section, but the technical parts are certainly more readable. Only minor quibble would be that mbar doesn't need to be linked every time it's used. But otherwise, good work and thanks. oknazevad (talk) 03:50, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Weather data shows it had 3 throughs connected to it, if they hadn't been connected then it would be a subtropical storm, but yet it still had the throughs connected to it? -- RossoSPC (talk) 01:27, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
