thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: In the first paragraph of the article, the value 15 degrees Celsius, used to express a difference between two temperatures, is incorrectly converted to 59 degrees Fahrenheit. This conversion would be correct if 15C were the actual temperature being referred to ((15 x 1.8) + 32 = 59). However, as a difference in temperature, the correct value is 15 x 1.8 = 27 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know if this is a flaw in the conversion functionality used or if the conversion was just incorrectly formatted. Senoflar (talk) 18:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The sentence cites no actual comments, and is purely conjecture.
It provides no useful information to this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Analogrival (talk • contribs) 14:43, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of "creationist" comment 

message: The picture caption and the article text are contradictory re: storm size. The text says it would larger than Tip, while the caption says it would be the size of Tracy. So... which is it? Korossyl (talk) 15:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think what the article tries to say that a system of multiple hypercanes can form, each of them as small as a thunderstorm. Calmarius (talk) 16:38, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The confusion might stem from the distinction between the size of the eye - which might indeed be unusually narrow with a diameter of a few km according to Emanuel 1995 - and the overall size of the storm system which still is in the hundreds of kilometers in his simulations. Now, there seem to be a lot of repeated claims on the internet about the size of hypercanes, but I have not yet been able to track down any really good papers about it (Vardiman's creationism motivated simulations do not inspire confidence, but do produce very big cyclones).

replies: text:  I have revised the sentence about the small horizontal size. The reference that has a numerical simulation of a hypercane (Emanuel et al. 1995, ftp://texmex.mit.edu/pub/emanuel/PAPERS/hypercane95.pdf) shows the horizontal scale is at least 300 km (Fig. 4a). I cannot verify what was in the television show, but from what I saw, it was based exclusively on the Emanuel et al. 1995 publication. I recommend the contradictory tag be removed following this revision.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.127.225.238 (talk) 03:41, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
