Whoa, people! Let's not get carried away here. I mean, do we really need the seasons of the Forties? Why don't we just go back to the Galveston Hurricane while we're at it. Is there really a limit as to how far back into the deapths of hurricane history we need to go here?

Hey, it was on the List of Atlantic Hurricane Season, and 1949 had already been created. And in my personal opinion, the more information the better. If we could have all of the information in the world right at our fingertips you wouldn't see me complaining! bob rulz 07:05, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)

Whoa Bob! Point taken. No need to get your knickers in a twist. I was just wondering if we needed to dive through the Best Track data to 1851, where we hit rock bottom. If that's the way we should go, then by all means let's.

[edit] Todo

It needs at least a one sentence description of every storm to be a start.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:23, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements

I'm working to get this article up to GA or FA standards. I've inserted sources, and the prose has been refreshened. I've added a seasonal summary; thus far, I've expanded five of the nine storms. The introduction has been lengthened, too. I hope I have made some good progress. What do you think? If anyone wants to offer some suggestions, you may post them on my talk page. This article is located in my sandbox, too. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 12:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

It's looking good. One quick thing I noticed is you cited Unisys. While that's not really a problem, I think it'd be better to either get the info from the MWR, or much more simply cite Hurdat. Also, Tropical Storm Four needs a source for the second paragraph. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
