[edit] Comparative storm intensities

From Hurricane Andrew

Andrew was only the third Category five hurricane to hit the United States, the previous ones being Hurricane Camille, which hit Mississippi and Louisiana in August 1969, and the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, which struck the Florida Keys in September 1935.

But from 1947 Fort Lauderdale Hurricane

The Fort Lauderdale Hurricane (or Pompano Beach Hurricane or Forgotten Hurricane) was an intense category 5 hurricane that affected Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi in September of 1947.

Was this an oversight, or is there some error? --zandperl 05:18, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

The hurricane was a Cat5, but made landfall as a Cat4. Jdorje 05:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mississippi Landfall

Category 3? That's not what the best track says. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 01:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Weird. The best track does not say that, though Hurdat does say the hurricane brought Category 3 conditions to Mississippi and Louisiana. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

I'd like to reorganize this to use the Storm history/Impact format that has become popular (the article basically pre-dates this format, which is now used for almost all storms). Jdorje 20:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Expand the sections a little bit and this article would be A-class, possibly even worthy of GA status. -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 01:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I dropped it to start due to lack of info. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
