thread_title:  Hurricane Barrier System 

message: HURDAT, direct from NHC, does not list Carol as a major hurricane. It is listed as a 100 mph Category 2. I know some of the NHC tables list it as such, but I have yet to see one that says anything but "3" under a Category tab. No windspeeds. Where 115 mph came from I don't know. Nothing in the MWR suggest major hurricane status other than a high gust reading. Gusts are notoriously sporadic. Are there errors in HURDAT, of course (Hazel, Beulah), but you can't just see "3" and put 115 mph. Could someone provide an official source that says 115 mph? -- §HurricaneERICarchive 23:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This link from HURDAT is where it was from. The list was published in 2007, so I'd consider it official. I also wouldn't consider it a typo, because it clearly lists the following.1954	Aug	NY, 3; CT, 3; RI, 3; NC, 2 - that is attributed to Carol. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intensity 

message: On the retired storms list i list a total damage amount of 461 million for Carol in the Untied States based on the 2005 edition of The Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones list. Im about to increase it by another million to account for what the CHC gives the Canadian Total to be here. However this article is giving off a dmaage total of about $460 million. Can we find the discrepency and deal with it please? Thanks.Jason Rees (talk) 20:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also just noticed that you are citing a grand total of 68 direct, while the NHC says 60 as recently as 2011.Jason Rees (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding the damage total, it's "about" $460 million", meaning we shouldn't treat it as exactly $460 million. Therefore, the $1 million from Canada would imply an incorrect level of precision. As far as the deaths, I miscounted. It's actually 72. I have a valid source that says 65 deaths in New England from 1997, which is fairly recent. Then, there were 2 deaths in Canada, 1 in NY, 2 in PA, and 2 in NJ. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  02:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Im not sure i like you using the "about 460 Million" for the United States since the NHC said in their editions of The Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones list between 1978 and 2005 that the damage total for the states was $461 Million. As for Canada i can not be sure that the 1 million is in USD or CAD if its the latter then its probably not worth noting due to exchange rates.Jason Rees (talk) 03:26, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. I added a conversion to 1954 USD from the Canadian total, which is also about $1 million USD, close enough. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  06:08, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Im gonna give you the two deaths in Canada, since i cant dispute them. However, im not sure about the 10 extra in the US though since the NHC Total of 60 has stuck since the system in 54, on the other hand it has to be said that the MWR was published in December 54 "Apparently".Jason Rees (talk) 18:21, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  I took a random look at the source this evening and I can't say that im happy to use it to say 65 deaths in New England only. The source says: "came crashing ashore near Old Saybrook, Connecticut, leaving 65 people dead in her wake." That too me says nothing about the 65 just being for New England and as a result id like to see another source for the 65 deaths in New England/70 Overall please.Jason Rees (talk) 22:33, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
