Talk:Hurricane Flossie (2007)

Name recommendations

I think it should remain Flossie (2007) unless a direct hit is expected with at least the eyewall crossing at least one of the islands (not in the forecast at this point, but in the cone of uncertainty). Should a direct hit come into play, it should be moved to Hurricane Flossie. CrazyC83 15:09, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

NO. Standard Wikipedia and Wikiproject naming guidelines should stay in place. Flossie is a reusable name and does not deserve the main article. – Chacor 15:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Chacor is right. It should only get the main article once retired. Of course, if it strikes the islands directly, the odds of it not being retired are pretty much nil. I would, however, be okay with redirecting Hurricane Flossie here if the storm does have a severe impact as none of the other Hurricane Flossies did much. —Cuiviénen 15:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I guess the policy changed since 2005...I just think it should be clarified now to make sure that no one does an unnecessary move. I like the redirect of the main article idea if it is likely going to be retired... CrazyC83 15:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Unless it causes several billion in damage (which the 2005 storms did when they got the main article, and for the record I really hope it does not), I think it should stay at Flossie (2007), with the main article remaining where it is. Hurricanehink (talk) 16:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Damage reports

Any damage reports yet? Thankfully it did not affect the state as it was predicted to. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

PHFO will issue a post-storm report, as with any other NWS WFO. – Chacor 01:12, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Post season report is out. --Hurricanehink (talk) 05:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Followed by the NHC report. Jake52 My island 13:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks. Plasticup ^T/C 18:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Incomplete

The MH is incomplete. I'd lower it to stub, but it's well-cited and there's a good bit of impact. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I was chatting with Cyclonebiskit about this on the IRC and he said that he forgot all about it. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home , User:Yellow Evan/Sandbox

• "Hurricane Flossie brought squally weather and minimal damage to the Hawaiian Islands during August 2007" can you find something more intresting than this? Don't tell me that every EPAC article has this opener, because they don't. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
  • It's fine as is. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 23:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
• " After traversing the tropical Atlantic, the wave crossed Central America and entered the eastern Pacific on August 1." how is this important for the lead? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:07, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Uhm...because it tells you what happened to the wave between the time it departed Africa and developed into a tropical depression in the eastern Pacific? It didn't magically poof from one basin to the other lol. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 23:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
• You should mention it was slow to weaken at first, then mention the date its weakening accelerated. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:07, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

• Why don't you use the TWO archives for the origins? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:07, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Why is it needed? The characteristics of the wave are already mentioned in the lede (poorly-defined) and we already know it moved off the coast of Africa and crossed Central America.
• Give a distance from BCS or Hawaii somewhere in the MH. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:07, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
  • ??? "At this time, the depression was situated roughly 1,700 mi (2,700 km) east-southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii." TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 23:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

  • All information from that article has been used already. And Why? TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 23:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
