message: From the track map, it looks as though Agnes formed over the Yucatan. Is this the case? I think there was an instance of this happenning(sp?)at another point in time.WotGoPlunk 19:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

The money doesn't add up either: "The storm was responsible for $2.1 billion in damage (1972 US dollars) in the United States, the vast majority of which came from the flooding.[7] Of this, over $2 billion was in Pennsylvania, and $700 million in New York.[8]" That's at least $2.7billion. Also the intro paragraph says it caused $1.7 billion in damage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.186.80.1 (talk) 19:34, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: The numbers don't add up!

message: Camp Shikellimy was a YMCA camp, not a Boy Scout camp as stated in the article. There were nearly 100 campers and about 20 staff evacuated due to the camp's location just below DeHart Dam. The Clark's Valley Reservoir was located less than a mile upstream from the camp. Flooding had cut roads leading into and out of the camp, which would have been destroyed had the reservoir's rising waters topped the dam and rushed into the narrow valley below. This, ultimately, didn't happen. 
The camp property was not in Lykens as stated. It was located in Middle Paxton Township between Lykens and Dauphin, Pa. 
Attribution? I was a senior staff member at the camp who was on one of those helicopters. The campers were flown to the Harrisburg National Guard Amory. The flight lasted approximately 30 minutes. 
This is my first Wiki edit. Help formatting is appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bocanut69 (talk • contribs) 10:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Camp was YMCA, not Boy Scouts 

message: Even though NHC said at the time a baroclinic low absorbed Agnes, surface maps do not show another surface feature, frontal or otherwise.  This appears to be one of those times where a TC stacks with an upper low aloft and somehow gets "absorbed" by it, which by this meaning does not mean that the surface low has died.  Mariners Weather Log has a long passage concerning Agnes' former surface low, which was added to the article.  For what it is worth, NCDC's extratropical cyclone database (the 1965 to 1974 portion I have access to) also follows the Agnes surface low through the end of June, well past where NHC's track ends.
