Talk:1887 Atlantic hurricane season

Todo

Only real issue is that of formatting and structure. Some AHS articles use a template form, but this one doesn't: all should be consistent. And the section headings are too small. Jdorje 21:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Any more info

Is there any more information on those 5 possible storms?I'd love to make a button bar for it.HurricaneCraze32 23:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Doubt it. They are unofficial. Plus, it was so long ago without any notable storms that a button bar would be useless. Hurricanehink 00:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

The page could use re-formatting like 1914 did.HurricaneCraze32 10:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Still doesn't need a button bar. Hurricanehink 11:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Forget the bar.Here's how my reformatting is going. [1]. HurricaneCraze32 19:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Each sub-section needs a full paragraph of info. Hurricanehink 21:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

"Possible storms"

Since the best track data is an official source, anything they identify is not a "possible storm", it's a storm. — jdorje (talk) 23:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

But they didn't confirm if they were storms or not. Hurricanehink 23:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, this is from the HRD's notes? OK then, those are "possible storms". We will run into some problems eventually however since the best track includes some really worthless (including 1-data-point) storms. What do you say about such a storm? — jdorje (talk) 23:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

For those, I say those are real storms. Their existence is only proven for one point, but it was still a storm. Hurricanehink 00:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I thought these storms were (or rather, storms mentioned in the best track but for which there is no other information available). The question is, what do you write about such a storm? — jdorje (talk) 00:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

No idea. All you could say is, On August 23, a tropical storm made landfall on the island of St. Thomas, though its entire track is unknown. That's all there is. Luckily, there's only 29 single point storms, all of which are before 1871. Hurricanehink 02:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Shall I leave 20 as extratropical and 21-23 as depressions?

2nd-where can i find more info,that review aint very good?HurricaneCraze32 19:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

No, they shouldn't be mentioned anywhere outside of the possible storm sections. They are not confirmed. Secondly, there is no more information. This was 119 years ago. Hurricanehink 20:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
