Given that Charley looks like it's going to make a name for itself by hitting Tampa at a significant strength, it's probably time to think about giving it its own article. Already had someone ask on IRC asking if it had its own article. I'm going to do it myself in a few hours if there's no objections (we need to move a little more rapidly than with most articles). -- Cyrius|✎ 02:33, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'm parroting the NHC as well, with a few other NWS sources, and occasionally whatever pops up elsewhere (Jimbo's been tracking the storm and providing some local news links on IRC). As far as Bonnie goes, the NHC has had the decency to provide a copy of the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center's advisory. Some stats on hurricanes hitting Tampa are available elsewhere -- Cyrius|✎ 05:40, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Charley took a turn east and isn't even expected to hit Tampa any more. anthony (see warning) 17:47, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Presumably the UPS managed the Tampa power cuts OK, then? -- Karada 00:29, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Downtown Tampa had its power cut. Wikipedia's hosting center was running on generators from about 10am to whenever they turend it back on. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:04, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Saint Petersburg, Florida also had its power cut. It's not strictly part of Tampa, but part of the Tampa Bay area, which is frequently referred to as Tampa. anthony (see warning) 12:39, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'm sad. Cyrius gets the 5pm updates, I empty my cache a half dozen times and www.nhc.noaa.gov still insists on giving me the 2pm update. :( What's your secret, Cyrius? --Golbez 21:44, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ is good when the official NHC site seems to be lagging significantly. They repost all the textual content from the NHC, after mercifully running it through a caps filter. Not sure what channel they use to get it, but it's not scraped off the NHC site. They're a bit overloaded today, so you may get an error page. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:01, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've been using Wikipedia all throughout today and it was fine. It's weird how the storm completely missed Tampa and St.Pete. It barely even rained where I'm at. That NWS-NOAA website is kind of hard to navigate and understand. I was just looking on the Weather Channel site. Milk 05:09, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Highlands County and surrounding Restored power promised by 24 Aug, Midnight. Sebring water never stopped, not contaminated. From the viewpoint of downtown Sebring, the county appears to be getting power basically from SE to NW, this makes sense because 1. NW is where the hurricane passed most closely. 2. There are at least two power companies. Glades Electric runs the SE part. Where the power is restored, it's said to be less reliable than normal so far. Public schools close for the remainder of the week of the 14th.
damage to cuba was not minor the Miami Heral reported today 1 billion dollar damage www.miami.com

Where is a public reference to the "criticism" cited in the current version? Can't find anything but a short CNN interview, and it's not in there: http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0408/14/se.11.html
of the 4 major storms for 2004, this one lacks the map and infobox. I don't recall who was working on those, but I don't know where to find the map. Oh yes, it was Tomf688. --Golbez 19:11, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
Suggest adding a sentence to the first paragraph:
"During the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season, Hurricane Maria became the strongest Hurricane to make landfall since Andrew."
Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico with sustained winds of 155mph, making it the strongest forecastable Category 4 landfall possible on the SSHWS.Wade8888 (talk) 22:00, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
The three articles are very short considering that they weren't significantly impacted and would benefit the tropical cyclone article if they were merged, especially since they are good articles. ZZZ'S 00:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
