replies: text: I surely hope there's more to come.  At this stage it would take much more work to make it into a workable article than is justified. — jdorje (talk) 02:29, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the storm, based on its price tag and importance in Florida hurricane history, could stay, with extensive work done (almost a complete redo). Hurricanehink 02:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I'll add the storm track, but due to how long ago it was, there's likely no pictures of it. HurricaneRo, you still have a lot of work to do if this article is to stay alive. Hurricanehink 03:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the NHC best track, King was a 105 mph Category 2 at landfall. This can be seen in King's track map, which clearly shows a Category 2 Miami landfall. However, the MWR does list 120 mph in the city. What should be done about this? Hurricanehink 21:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no uncertainty.  The One and Only source is the best track data; the only problem is in interpreting it since there are various forms of it lying around.  The best track list of U.S. hurricanes does indeed show it was a cat3 at landfall. The 6-hourly dataset does seem to conflict with this, but it is less reliable (as with Hurricane Andrew) because it only goes at 6-hour intervals. — jdorje (talk) 03:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually, I used an NHC page that listed the strongest landfalls, and it says King made landfall as a Category 3. The page is in the article. Hurricanehink 03:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Should the Hurricane King (1950) article be redirected here? Hurricanehink 18:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe so. Also, this sentence is confusing to me: "King was a very small hurricane, as nearby Camaguey recorded winds of around 65 mph." Is this supposed to be the size of the hurricane? If this sentence is "correct", then it's not a hurricane, because it has 65 mph winds, unless he meant 65 knots, inwhich case it is. -- RattleMan 20:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It shows that the city, which was relatively nearby, only recorded winds of around 65 mph when the storm was actually a compact, powerful hurricane. I'll go and redirect it. Hurricanehink 20:22, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It says here that "severe flooding" occurred in St. Petersburg, where the water was "ankle deep".  Now, to me, that is minor flooding.  Am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talk • contribs)

message: The article says that "King" was not retired following this storm. However I'm not sure if theres any point in saying that, I mean could King have been retired at all?--Nilfanion (talk) 19:52, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All storm articles have that, so I just thought I'd say it. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Retirement? 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Hurricane King's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

From Hurricane Dog (1950): 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
