Talk:1893 Atlantic hurricane season

Sea Islands Hurricane

I wrote a separate article on the 1893 Sea Islands Hurricane before I knew this page existed. Not sure if that article should be merged in here or if this article should just link to it. Jdorje 02:36, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Wild Season

Am I the only person who thinks this season was insane? A hurricane hit New York City, 2 killed a combined 3,000-4,000 people in the US. Two major hurricanes affect the same area. 4 hurricanes were active at once, one of only 2 times that's happened in recorded history (1998 being the other time, this event nearly occured in 1961 as well: Betsy became extratropical a day before Esther became a hurricane). Geez!

Quite. And according to Hurricane Juan the hurricane that hit Nova Scotia did so as a category 3. Quite unusual...this may be the most eventful season on record. Jdorje 05:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Ennnh, it's got some competitian, 1886, 1950, 1955, 1961, 1966, 1998, last year, and this year.

Also remember there were probably more storms in the Atlantic that were never told about... CrazyC83 04:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Todo

Structure, fix wikification, etc. Lots of work to do here. Jdorje 00:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Got a good bit of the wikification and structure stuff done. --*Kat* (talk) 11:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Low importance?

I think this article should be at least mid-mportance or even high-importance, just because there were two really deadly hurricanes. That is just my opinion. (RaNdOm26 10:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC))

I marked it as a mid, though high class could certainly work. It had 4 simultaneous hurricanes (1 of 2 times in history), a hurricane struck New York City, and the two deadly canes. However, only the most active season on record in each basin is listed as high, currently. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
