[edit] =Lowest pressure?
The gilbert article puts its lowest pressure at 888, claiming to be the lowest in the western hemisphere. But the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 claims its pressure is the lowest in the western hemisphere (see the discussion page there). Where does this data come from? Jdorje 22:23, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The Labor Day storm's article was in error and has recently been revised. You check any reliable source and they will tell you Gilbert had the record lowest pressure for the Western Hemisphere.

It's just an error of wording pretty much. The labor day storm was and still is the most intense storm at landfall recorded in the western hemisphere. Runningonbrains 18:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox image
That satellie picture of Gilbert in the mid-section of the article is outstanding. It should be put in the infobox and the track relegated to another section of the article.

[edit] Todo
Only thing really missing is the impact section. This storm caused $5b in damages; I know there is more info here. Jdorje 21:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
If anyone wants to expand the article further, there is a lot of good information in the Tropical Cyclone Report.
[edit] Deaths
It's strange that the # of mexico deaths is taken not from the TCR but from some spanish-language source. Should be changed I suppose. — jdorje (talk) 06:57, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image
This is a truer version of the infobox image. The current one has been distorted by cropping. I think it should be replaced by the HSEI image. Any objections? -- §HurricaneERICarchive 00:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, the infobox one is the truer one, as it was the original image. The one you mentioned was distorted by brightening it a bit, as well as adding the caption and country lines (which is a bit distracting, IMO). ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
