Talk:Hurricane Hugo

message: Can someone verify the 3000 tornadoes? that sounds like an awfully high number.

thread_title:  Question 

message: I put this as a B.  Nonetheless there is a lot to be done here - inline references would be a good start, with a little more on storm history, restructuring of the 3 impact sections, maybe a separate "preparations" and "aftermath" sections. Jdorje 20:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Todo

message: I restructured the article quite a bit.  The new structure is much better but some of the sections need to be expanded.  The one-paragraph sections should most likely be expanded rather than removed. — jdorje (talk) 05:59, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we have a deaths-by-region table? http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdeadlyapp1.shtml lists it as Guadeloupe, Montserrat, South Carolina. — jdorje (talk) 05:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deaths 

message: Well, I might have found a source. This site says the storm had 3000 embedded tornadoes. However, the official NOAA answer to the most tornadoes from a hurricane was Ivan with 117, far less than Hugo's supposed 3000. I propose we get rid of it.

replies: text: The official reports don't give a quantity to the number of tornadoes associated with Hugo and 3000 is ridiculously high; I mean thats more than 4 times the annual average for tornadoes in the US! I've found a few refs for the 3000 figure as well, but when the NWS doesn't mention give a figure in its report (interestingly they used the Fujita scale to quantify the straightline wind damage) but the implication of the text is there was a low number of tornadoes. Did you notice that site cited Hurricane Andrew? I say get rid of it or mention "the SC gov said there were 3000 tornadoes" if a good source can be found for it but also stating he was wrong.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, we should just get rid of it. There's no point in even saying the governor was wrong, as it's not particularly important to the article. Unless there was some controvery involving what he said, there's no point in even mentioning it, especially since we don't know for sure how much damage the tornadoes did, nor how many there were. Yea, the Andrew mention was interesting. It'd be good in the Andrew article. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I doubt that however, the source is what a state governor said not what a meteorologist said after all. In the case of Katrina, there were 62 tornadoes spawned by Katrina. However, the area subject to F2 damaging eyewall winds comprised several counties in MS and LA, a far greater area (see the last page of the NWS report). Hurricanes don't need to spawn tornadoes to do F2 damage.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tornadoes 

message: It's hard to tell because one of them is rotated, but aren't the two images in the article showing the storm in the exact same position? Also, the first one in the infobox is unsourced. I found the best Hugo image at this site , but I don't know if we can use it here. Good kitty 00:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bot report : Found duplicate references ! 

message: September 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, the very devastating storm which caused extensive damage and death through Puerto Rico, the Virgins, Leewards, South Carolina and western North Carolina. Please give insights on Hurricane Hugo, September 1989 vs 2009 and what would happen should similar hurricanes hit today.

thread_title: The 20th Anniversary of [[Hurricane Hugo]]

message: I don't have a source for this handy, but I remember 65 MPH sustained winds and 89 MPH gusts (that's official, but based on the damage some places surely had worse than that). That's not even hurricane velocity! You go by sustained winds, not gusts. Vchimpanzee ·  talk · contributions · 21:03, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: When it hit Charlotte

message: I feel that the in-air emergency aboard NOAA 42 while doing a mission into the storm belongs in this article, maybe in the section along with the info about Queen Elizabeth II?
In case you have never heard of it...

replies: text: Five years on, and this article still fails to mention the near loss of NOAA 42 in Hugo. I find this to be very surprising, given that the incident is quite noteworthy, especially within the meteorological community. Perhaps one of the primary article editors could consider adding this information?  AJC3fromS2K (talk) 03:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  NOAA 42 Aircraft Incident 

message: Both places saw category 4 effects. Article is quite long.  thoughts? --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 17:30, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Since it appears that Hugo had a major impact in many places in the Caribbean, I wouldn't be opposed to creating an article like "Effects of Hurricane Hugo in the Caribbean" or something similar. There is plenty to go off of, and like before, most of the impacts were felt in that area. As for the United states, I think that we could form an article for that, for now I would wait. 🌀Weatherman27🏈 (Chat, Edits)   18:06, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

text: It would cut off most of the article , but it needs condensing and that’s best done with carribbean impacts. I think we should at least do carribbean. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 19:54, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
