I just wanted to express my belated thanks for your support for "Falcon (computer game)" as the "Gaming Collaboration of the week". Shame it didn't become the GCOTW. --[[User:The Merciful|The Merciful]] 08:40, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

== Deleting Sections ==

NEVER, EVER, delete a section from a talk page. The only time you should remove a section is if: A) It's vulger, derogotory or otherwise inappropriate; or B) If you are moving it to the archive page. I went into the history section, saved the section from oblivion and moved it to the archive page. Please don't do that again.

== Texas' Bad Luck == 

Yeah, sorry about the delay. I had a three day weekend and was out of town. To answer your question, it really depends on your definition of 'hit hard', but the last ''hurricane'' to get it's name retired for a Texas landfall was [[Hurricane Allen]] in 1980. By the way, Rita booted Allen down to fourth on the list of strongest hurricanes on record in the Atlantic. Allison was beyond weird. It did about as much damage elsewhere as it did in Texas. If you look in the history books, you'll find that Texas has been hit hard many times. [[Galveston Hurricane of 1900|Texas' worst hurricane]] is also the worst natural disaster in American history in terms of loss of life. 

[[User: E. Brown|E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast]] - [[User talk: E. Brown|Squawk Box]] 01:13, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

:Oh yeah, forgot about Alicia. She wasn't as bad as Allen though. As for the latest question, yes, many. Bonnie-1986: hit as a Category 1, Chantal-1989: hit as a 1, Jerry-1989: also hit as a 1 in the same area as Chantal, and Bret-1999: hit as a Category 3 major hurricane mercifully in the most barren part of the Texas coast. Then you had Cat. 1 Claudette in 2003.

== Hurricane Irene (1999) ==

Decent article on [[Hurricane Irene (1999)]].  I made a lot of fixes to it.  Take a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hurricane_Irene_%281999%29&diff=29945858&oldid=29880245].  Next article you write you should categorize it yourself (otherwise we'll never know it's there!). [[User:Jdorje|Jdorje]] 20:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Please make proper edits that make some sense (not to sound offensive). Your edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Snakes_on_a_Plane&diff=prev&oldid=57826491] to [[Snakes on a Plane]] with the comment "made npov" made no sense whatsoever as all it did was fix the grammar to a vandal rather than reverting the vandalism.

You're welcome. Its strange the user seemed to have stopped vandalizing and then out of no where vandalized one more time. Judging by the talk page, the user was even trying to learn how to edit. Weird. Well you're welcome--[[User:Gdo01|Gdo01]] 02:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Re: infobox ==

No problem! In fact, I'm sort of honored so many people took it ;) Incidentally, we have quite a few things in common: I cracked my head open as well (I assume that's what you mean by split head once), I like majority of those TV shows, and I used to always play Roller Coaster Tycoon and Sim City (along with Mario and Zelda). You have good taste, I must say. :) [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] (<small>[[User_talk:Hurricanehink|talk]]</small>) 03:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:You're right. Such comments as "Wikinazi" (for Cyclone1) and "Communist rules of Wikipedia" (for Fable) can and WILL get you blocked. [[User:Chacor|Chacor]] 01:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
::By no means a threat, merely a strongly-worded warning from a former admin. The thing about "communist rules of Wikipedia" - see [[WP:WIC]].

The above conversation between you and Hink caught my attention, mainly because, I too, like the majority of those shows, I used to play RCT and Sim city, and (of course) Mario and Zelda.

'''Storm of the month'''
[[Image:Typhoon saomai 2006.jpg|right|Typhoon Saomai nearing its landfall in China|150px]]
'''[[Typhoon Saomai (2006)|Typhoon Saomai]]''' (known as '''Typhoon Juan''' to PAGASA) claimed at least 441 lives and caused over [[U.S. dollar|$]]1.5 billion in damage. After forming on [[August 4]] near [[Chuuk]], the storm brought heavy rain and strong winds to the [[Mariana Islands|Marianas]], the [[Philippines]], [[Taiwan]] and southeastern [[People's Republic of China|China]]. It started to intensify, and reached its official peak with winds of 95 knots (175 km/h, 110 mph) on [[August 9]]. The [[JTWC]] reported that it peaked as a Category 5 super typhoon the same day, a strength [[People's Republic of China|Chinese]] forecasters described as the most powerful to hit China in 50 years. Saomai maintained that strength until landfall on [[August 10]] and dissipated inland the next day.

==Dear sir==

I have an issue with your actions on the [[List of computer and video games considered the worst ever]] page. In particular, the talk page. In my opinion you have too broad a classification of what you classify as one of the worst games ever. To quote your comment on the Dragon Ball Z : Taiketsu discussion…

"Add more terrible (3.9 out of 10 or below reviews) reviews and we have a game warranting inclusion. guitarhero777777 22:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)"

Although I have no doubt that your intentions on this issue are nothing but noble, I feel that your 3.9 net would cause the list to become overpopulated. Especially when I consider 3.0 to be the upper limit of my definition of worst, and the comment at the top of the page advises a 0%-25% range.

Awaiting a response. [[User:El cid the hero|El cid the hero]] 13:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

'''Storm of the month'''
[[Image:Typhoon Xangsane 27 sept 2006.jpg|right|Xangsane to the east of the Philippines|150px]]
'''[[Typhoon Xangsane (2006)|Typhoon Xangsane]]''', known as ''Typhoon Milenyo'' in the [[Philippines]] was a destructive typhoon that affected the Philippines and [[Indochina]]. The storm caused severe flooding and landslides in the regions it affected and was responsible for at least 279 deaths and $747 million ([[USD]]) in damage, mostly in the Philippines and Vietnam. Xangsane formed to the east of the Philippines and rapidly intensified, striking [[Samar Island]] as a Category 4 typhoon. It weakened over the Philippines, but again reached Category 4 strength in the [[South China Sea]]. After its landfall in Vietnam, the typhoon dissipated, with its remnant crossing Indochina and entering the [[Bay of Bengal]].

'''Other tropical cyclone activity'''
*Hurricane Isaac, which formed in September, hit [[Newfoundland]] with minimal effects on [[October 2]]. It was the only [[2006 Atlantic hurricane season|Atlantic storm]] in October.
*One hurricane, [[Hurricane Paul (2006)|Hurricane Paul]], formed in the [[2006 Pacific hurricane season|eastern Pacific]] and hit Mexico. There were also two tropical storms, Norman and Olivia, and two tropical depressions in the basin.
*In addition to Typhoon Xangsane, two further typhoons and two tropical storms developed in the [[2006 Pacific typhoon season|west Pacific]]. Typhoon Soulik and Tropical Storms Bebinca and Rumbia both stayed clear of land, whilst Typhoon Cimaron hit the Philippines killing at least 19 people there, before it dissipated in the South China Sea.
*The [[2006 North Indian cyclone season|North Indian Ocean]] saw one storm, Cyclonic Storm Ogni form in the Bay of Bengal.
*The [[2006-2007 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season]] got underway, with Tropical Cyclone Xavier forming to the west of Fiji. There were two further tropical depressions in the South Pacific and a tropical disturbance in the South Indian Ocean.

'''Tropical cyclone scales'''

The various agencies which report on tropical cyclones use a variety of different [[tropical cyclone scales|scales]] to measure the storms strength. The most familiar of these is the [[Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale]] and this is the ''de facto'' standard in the project and should be used everywhere. However, as it is only official in the Atlantic and East Pacific, other local scales should be used when discussing storms in other regions and given primacy over the Saffir-Simpson Scale. The Saffir-Simpson scale is based on 1-minute averages, but other scales are generally based upon 10-minute averages, which are approximately 15% lower. 

[[Tropical cyclone scales#Comparisons across basins|This table]] provides a useful-at-a-glance comparison of the various scales currently in use. Further complications arise due to the fact different agencies obtain different estimates for the same storm at the same time, so be careful to use the most appropriate source agency.

'''Tropical cyclone activity'''
*One hurricane, Hurricane Sergio, formed in the [[2006 Pacific hurricane season|eastern Pacific]]. Sergio was the longest lasting November [[Pacific hurricane]] recorded. Two other tropical cyclones, Tropical Storm Rosa and a tropical depression formed in the basin. None of the systems affected land.
*An unusual [[extratropical cyclone]] developed in the northern central Pacific, resembling a [[2006 Pacific hurricane season#Other storms|subtropical cyclone]] at its peak.
*A total of three typhoons formed in the [[2006 Pacific typhoon season|western Pacific]], and all the storms followed a similar track across the [[Philippines]]. Typhoon Cimaron formed at the end of October and lasted into November, killing 19 people. Typhoon Chebi existed during the middle of the month and was the weakest of the three causing minor damages. The most devastating storm of the month, Typhoon Durian hit the Philippines on [[November 30]], killing at least 720 people in the island nation.
*Two named cyclones developed in the [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season|Southern Hemisphere]], Tropical Cyclone Yani in the South Pacific and Moderate Tropical Storm Anita in the Southwest Indian Ocean. Two unnamed depression also formed in the South Pacific. None of these storms affected land.

'''Editorial'''

The lateness of this edition is due to me being on an wikibreak and no-one taking up the slack. My wikibreak was the result of a lightning strike damaging my internet connection and frying my router, and the time taken for the replacement to arrive. As this issue is almost 3 weeks later than planned, only the monthly cyclone activity for November has been included. The next letter will be produced for [[January 7]], [[2006]] and will be larger than normal to cover both month's Wikipedia news and December's tropical activity. There will be no Member or Storm of the month in January, to reduce the length; and the newsletter will return to normal in February.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilf]][[commons:User:Nilfanion|anion]] ([[User talk:Nilfanion|talk]]) 21:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

'''Tropical cyclone activity'''
*Three tropical cyclones existed in the [[2006 Pacific typhoon season|West Pacific]] during December. Typhoon Durian (Reming) was the deadliest and strongest of the three, killing over 800 people, in the [[Philippines]] and [[Vietnam]] and peaking at Category 4 strength. Typhoon Utor lasted formed on [[December 7]] and lasted for 7 days, passing over the Philippines and causing severe floods in [[Malaysia]]. The final storm of the year, Tropical Storm Trami, lasted for three days and did not affect land.
*The [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season|Southern Hemisphere]] saw a number of storms develop during December. The most significant was Cyclone Bondo, which hit [[Madagascar]] on [[December 23]]. Cyclone Anita dissipated early in the month, having formed in November and Cyclone Clovis developed on [[December 30]] before reaching its peak in January. All of these storms were in the Southwest Indian Ocean, the only other cyclone was Cyclone Isobel that formed on [[December 31]] to the north of [[Western Australia]].

'''The Portal'''
[[File:Cyclone Gafilo.jpeg|100x100px|link=Portal:Tropical cyclones|Portal:Tropical cyclones]]
'''[[Portal:Tropical cyclones]]''' is designed as the entry point to the WikiProject's work and is recognised as a [[WP:FPO|Featured Portal]]. The structure emulates that of Wikipedia's [[Main page]] and needs updating in a similar manner. The following are the key sections that need editorial attention:
*Selected article: This is one of the articles of the project, rotated on a weekly basis. These are selected from the better-quality articles and discussed at [[Portal talk:Tropical cyclones/Selected article]].
*Selected picture: This is chosen from the pictures used in the articles and is rotated monthly. It is selected in a similar manner to the article on [[Portal talk:Tropical cyclones/Selected picture]].
*Did you know: This is rotated as new articles are created and contains an interesting fact from a few of the new articles.
*Active tropical cyclones: The ''currently'' active tropical cyclones are listed here, and are linked to appropriately.
*Tropical cyclone news: Recent events in Tropical cyclone activity, such as formation, landfalls and dissipation of storms.
*Anniversaries: This significant anniversaries for each day in the last week. Unlike the others it refreshes automatically, but should be updated if a new significant event occurs.
*Things you can do: Unlike the other sections which are reader orientated, this is aimed at editors to give suggestions of articles to work on.

Please keep all of these sections up-to-date and refresh them as new tropical cyclones develop and articles are created. Also please keep the suggestions to editors current and fresh.

'''Storm of the month'''
[[Image:Tropical Cyclone Clovis 2006-07.jpg|right|Cyclone Clovis approaching Madagascar|150px]] '''[[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Severe Tropical Storm Clovis (05R)|Cyclone Clovis]]''' was named late on [[December 31]] near to [[Tromelin Island]]. Clovis strengthened as it moved to the southwest reaching its peak the same day with 60 knot winds (according to [[Météo-France]]). The JTWC intensified Clovis more slowly, and assessed that it reached its peak with 65 knot winds on [[January 2]], as it was nearing the [[Madagascar]] coast. The JTWC maintained this strength until it made landfall on the island on [[January 3]]. The resulting floods damaged a number of structures in [[Mananjary, Fianarantsoa|Mananjary]] and about 1,500 people had to be evacuated.<sup class="plainlinks">[http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/LSGZ-6XLK6S?OpenDocument]</sup>

'''Other tropical cyclone activity'''<br/>
The only activity during January was in the [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season|Southern Hemisphere]], with a total of 5 cyclones existing throughout the month.
*[[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Intense Tropical Cyclone Dora (07R)|Dora]], the second cyclone the Southwest Indian Ocean formed late in January well to the east of [[Réunion]]; and reached tropical cyclone strength at the start of February.
*The two storms in the South Pacific, [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Tropical Cyclone Zita (07F)|Zita]] and [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Tropical Cyclone Arthur (08F)|Arthur]] followed very similar tracks to the east of the Dateline. The JTWC estimated that Zita reached its peak on [[January 23]] and Arthur briefly had hurricane force winds two days later.
*[[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Tropical Cyclone Isobel|Cyclone Isobel]] formed between Indonesia and Australia late in December and headed south, making landfall in [[Western Australia]] on [[January 3]] as a minimal Tropical Cyclone.

The January member of the month is [[User:Chacor|Chacor]], formerly known as NSLE. Chacor joined the project in November 2005, and has contributed to a wide variety of articles across the project. Recently he has generally focussed on the West Pacific and did most of the work on the first Good article in that basin: [[Typhoon Ewiniar (2006)]]. He has also started the much needed process of splitting the Southern Hemisphere seasonal articles. Finally, Chacor is probably ''the'' user who maintains the quality of the most visible part of the project, the current activity.

'''Storm of the month'''
[[Image:Favio 2007-02-20 1115Z.jpg|right|Cyclone Favio near Madagascar|150px]]
'''[[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Intense Tropical Cyclone Favio (09R)|Cyclone Favio]]''' developed well to the east of northern [[Madagascar]] on [[February 12]] and moved to the southwest as it developed. The storm did not significantly intensify until [[February 19]] when it was just off the soutern coast of Madagascar, but rapidly intenstified soon after to its peak with 185&nbsp;km/h (115&nbsp;mph) winds. Favio turned to the northwest and hit [[Mozambique]] worsening the [[2007 Mozambican flood|floods]] already occuring in the country. Favio claimed at least 4 lives and destroyed thousands of homes. 
</div>
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Newsletter/box-header}}
'''Other tropical cyclone activity'''<br/>
There were a total of 6 tropical cyclones in the [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season|southern hemisphere]] during February. Five of these, including Favio, were in the South West Indian Ocean.
*The only other storm in the Australian region was [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season#Tropical Cyclone Nelson|Cyclone Nelson]] which formed at the end of January in the [[Gulf of Carpentaria]] before it hit [[Queensland]].
*Cyclone Dora was active in January and reached its peak as an [[annular hurricane|annular cyclone]] on [[February 3]] with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds. 
*Cyclone Gamede was an unusally large storm that prompted the highest level of cyclone warning on [[Réunion]] and brought strong winds to the island on [[February 27]], causing a bridge to collapse. 
*Neither Enok towards the start of the month or Humba near its end, had any impact on land.

'''Comments wanted on project talk'''
Many discussions that potentially have far reaching impact for the whole project are carried out on the project's talk page. However, only a fraction of our active contributors actually engage in those discussions. If you add the project page to your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlist]] and keep an eye on discussions there to monitor upcoming changes, even if you don't participate in those discussions it would help both yourself and the project as a whole. For instance, at the moment the primary infobox templates such as {{tl|Infobox hurricane}} are in the process of being deprecated and replaced by new versions which do the role more effectively.

desc none</imagemap>
'''[[User:Coredesat|Hurricane Will]]''' developed from a [[student|tropical wave]] to the east of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones|Caribbean Sea]] and [[m:Edit counting|intensified]]. It crossed over [[WP:AFD|Jamaica]] and re-emerged over [[WP:WIAA|water]] a few [[month|day]]s later. The storm intensified into a hurricane and an [[Hurricane Esther (1961)|eye]] began to [[WP:FAC|develop]]. Will became a [[Wikipedia:Administrator|major hurricane]] over the [[WP:RFA|Gulf of Mexico]] and made landfall on the [[CAT:ABL|vulnerable]] [[CAT:CSD|Gulf Coast]] of the [[Wikipedia|United States]] soon after. To date, Hurricane Will has claimed over [[WP:BP|350 lives]] and is directly responsible for about [[WP:DP|$5&nbsp;billion of damages]]; of which an unknown amount was [[WP:DRV|insured]]. Despite the damage, it is not expected that the name will be [[WP:BAN|retired]] by [[WP:CABAL|WMO]].

'''Other tropical cyclone activity'''<br/>
*After threatening the [[Hurricane Isabel|Eastern Seaboard]] for some time, [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricane Hink]] has turned away and the [[WP:WEEKLY|NHC]] has cancelled all warnings associated with the storm.
*The [[2007 Pacific typhoon season]] began with Tropical Storm Kong-rey forming on [[March 31]].
*There were a total of 7 cyclones in the [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season|southern hemisphere]]: Becky in the South Pacific, Indlala and Jaya in the Southwestern Indian Ocean and Odette, George, Jacob and Kara in the Australian region. Indlala killed at least 80 and left over 100,000 homeless; whilst [[Cyclone George]] was the worst storm to affect [[Port Hedland]] in over 30 years.

'''Member of the month'''   
[[Image:Cyclone barnstar.png|left|Cyclone barnstar|50px]]
The April member of the month is [[Hurricane Irene (2005)|HurricaneIrene]]. Irene began contributing to tropical cyclone articles on Wikipedia in August 2005, but ran out of [[sea surface temperature|steam]] and [[extratropical|left]] after barely 2 weeks. However, Irene's influence on the project has been wide-reaching. Her efforts led directly to two articles attaining [[WP:FA|featured status]] and her legacy inspired many of our most active editors to write a plethora of [[WP:GA|good article]]s on a wide range of storms.
</div>
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Newsletter/box-header}}
'''New and improved articles'''
*The was one new [[WP:FA|featured article]]: [[Hurricane Kenna]]
*New [[WP:GA|Good articles]] include: [[Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale]], [[Hurricane Florence (1988)]], [[Tropical cyclone observation]] and [[1996 Pacific hurricane season]].
*New storm articles include: [[Hurricane Lili (1990)]], [[Tropical Storm Alberto (1988)]], [[Cyclone George]] and [[Typhoon Durian]].
*New non-storm articles include: [[Tropical cyclone naming]], [[list of cyclones in Western Australia]], [[Hurricane evacuation route]] and [[Tropical cyclone rainfall forecasting]].

'''The [[Main Page]]'''

The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|Today's featured article]]. Most destructive cyclones are likely to be mentioned on the [[WP:ITN|In the news]] column. We have no real control over that, but we should submit [[Wikipedia:In the news section on the Main Page/Candidates|suggestions]] when appropriate.

However, we can do a more lot more to place our content in the other major section of the main page: The [[WP:DYK|Did you know]] column. In the past month we created over 30 articles. Of these only 2 were even submitted as ''suggestions'' for DYK. We can do much better, please submit DYK entries for new articles when you do the initial assessment.

Please go to [[:Image:Chronos Twins cover.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]].

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Toxic Grind.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to [[:Image:Toxic Grind.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.  Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either  via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art]], a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the [[Los Angeles County Museum of Art]] (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art]]. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 23:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

'''Storm of the month'''
[[Image:SCS Aila at peak intensity.jpg|thumb|Cyclone Aila near landfall]]
'''[[Cyclone Aila]]''' was the second [[tropical cyclone]] to form within the Northern [[Indian Ocean]] during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about {{convert|950|km|mi}} to the south of [[Kolkata]], in [[India]]. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by [[RSMC New Delhi]]. {{as of|2009|5|27}}, 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1&nbsp;million are homeless. Health officials in [[Bangladesh]] confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20&nbsp;million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7&nbsp;million (USD).</br>

*[[2009 Atlantic hurricane season|North Atlantic]]
[[Tropical Depression One (2009)|Tropical Depression One]] was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29. 
*[[2009 Pacific typhoon season]] - In the two month period, there were four tropical cyclones, all within a short time period and small area. Tropical Depression Crising moved through the Philippines but didn't develop. [[Typhoon Kujira (2009)|Typhoon Kujira]] formed over the Philippines, causing 29 deaths and almost $30 million in damage, before becoming the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. While Kujira was active, a tropical depression formed and dissipated over the open ocean, while [[Typhoon Chan-hom (2009)|Typhoon Chan-hom]] developed and organized in the South China Sea, eventually crossing [[Luzon]] and causing 60 deaths and heavy damage.
*[[2009 North Indian Ocean cyclone season|North Indian]] - Aside from Aila, [[Cyclone Bijli]] formed in April, making landfall on Bangladesh and killing 7 people.
*[[2008–09 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season|South Indian]]– Cyclone Jade was the final Cyclone to form. Jade formed on April 5th from a tropical disturbance it quickly intensifed and bcame a category one tropical cyclone on the SSHS before making its first of three landfalls on Madagascar. Jade then dissipated on April 11 after causing fifteen deaths.
*[[2008–09 Australian region cyclone season|Australian Region]] - Cyclone Kirrly formed on April 25 in the Arafura Sea to the north of [[Australia]] within 5 degrees of the [[equator]] which is an unusual area of formation. It quickly reached its peak before making landfall on eastern Indonesia.  
*[[2008–09 South Pacific cyclone season|South Pacific]] - As the last newsletter was published Tropical Cyclone Lin was just devloping as Tropical depression 14F. Lin eventually went on to affect Fiji and Tonga causing at least $1000 worth of damage. Tropical Disturbance 15F also formed this month within the Solomon Islands. It moved eventually moved into the Australian Region but was not monitored by TCWC Brisbane as anything higher than an area of low pressure.

'''Project News'''<br>
There is debate as usual with regards to notability, as well as the status of the project in general, but nothing new is going on.

During the last week, some editors have organized a page &mdash; [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats]] &mdash; that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. [[User:Cyclonebiskit|Cyclonebiskit]] is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin.

'''Storm of the month'''<br>
'''''[[2010_Pacific_hurricane_season#Hurricane_Frank|Hurricane Frank]]''''' is the storm of the Month.
[[Image:Hurricane_Frank_2010_off_the_coast_of_Mexico.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Hurricane Frank]]
Tropical Depression Nine-E formed on August 21 south of the [[Gulf of Tehuantepec]]. It developed into a tropical storm the following morning. On August 23, Frank continued to intensify, but later faced shear and entered a period of weakening. However, on August 24, as shear decreased, it began to reorganize and strengthen again, becoming a hurricane on August 25. Two days later, Frank weakened into a tropical storm. Rapidly weakening overnight, NHC issued that it have been degraded into an remnant low. The area of low pressure associated with Frank was absorbed with another area of disturbed weather which later developed into Tropical Depression Ten-E.

Throughout Central America, Hurricane Frank produced torrential rain that resulted in at least 30 fatalities, most of which took place in Nicaragua and Honduras. In Guatemala alone, damage from the system was estimated to be up to $500&nbsp;million. In Mexico, six deaths were reported. A total 30 homes were destroyed with 26 others damaged. Two major roads were damaged with another road blocked due to a landslides. Several rivers overflowed their banks as well.  Losses from the storms totaled millions of dollars. Water Currents form a nearby volcano were damaged as well.

*[[2010 Atlantic hurricane season|Atlantic Ocean]]– In the Atlantic Ocean, around three storms and one depression formed. Tropical Depression Four early on August 2. Early the next day, the depression strengthened further into a tropical storm and was named "Colin".  Tropical Storm Colin was downgraded to a tropical depression late morning on August 8. Tropical Depression 5 formed on August 10, with no improvement, it dissipated within 24 hours. Tropical Depression Six developed near the Cape Verde Islands on August 21, the first of the series of Cape Verde-type storms. On August 22 the system attained tropical storm status, thus earning the name "Danielle" The next day it attained hurricane status, becoming the second of the season and strengthened further to a Category 2 hurricane. On August 27, Hurricane Danielle strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane, becoming the first major hurricane of the season, and further strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane shortly after.Danielle later weakened to a Category 3, then Category 2 hurricane, and later became a Category 1 Hurricane due to an eyewall replacement cycle, while avoiding land areas. It became extratropical early on August 31 southeast of Newfoundland without having directly impacted land. It was fully absorbed by a larger extratropical low on September 4 over Greenland. On August 25, Tropical Depression 7 formed east of Hurricane Danielle. Later that day it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Earl. On August 29, 2010 Earl strengthened to become the season's third hurricane. Earl then quickly intensified to become the season's second major hurricane on August 30. The hurricane weakened to a Category 3 hurricane after an eyewall replacement cycle before becoming a Category 4 again. Earl made landfall in the Canadian Maritime Provinces, twice in Nova Scotia and once in Prince Edward Island (PEI) at hurricane intensity. On August 30, when gale-force winds and better organization resulted in the development of Tropical Storm Fiona, skipping tropical depression status. It struggled to develop further, however, as it was hindered by high wind shear from the outflow of the much larger and stronger Earl.

*[[2010 Pacific hurricane season|Eastern Pacific Ocean]]– Three depressions formed in the Month of August. A tropical depression formed on August 5.  slowly intensified, reaching tropical storm status on August 6.  On August 9, it was downgraded into a tropical depression. On August 10th Estelle dissipated. Tropical Depression Eight-E formed on August 20. However, the depression weakened slightly overnight. The depression continued to weaken and the National Hurricane Center issued its final advisory on August 22. Tropical Depression Nine-E formed on August 21 south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. It developed into a tropical storm the following morning. On August 25 it became a hurricane.  Two days later, Frank weakened into a tropical storm. Rapidly weakening overnight, NHC issued that it have been degraded into an remnant low. Throughout Central America, Hurricane Frank produced torrential rain that resulted in at least 30 fatalities, most of which took place in Nicaragua and Honduras. In Guatemala alone, damage from the system was estimated to be up to $500 million. In Mexico, six deaths were reported. A total 30 homes were destroyed with 26 others damaged. Two major roads were damaged with another road blocked due to a landslides. Several rivers overflowed their banks as well. Losses from the storms totaled millions of dollars. Water Currents form a nearby volcano were damaged as well.

* [[2010 Pacific typhoon season|Western Pacific Ocean]]– Eight depression formed in the Month of August. Early on August 4, After Domeng, had merged with the low pressure area PAGASA reported that Domeng had intensified into a tropical storm and reached its 10-minute peak sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). In Luzon, heavy rain produced by the storm led to a few landslides, prompting road closures. Offshore, three people drowned after their boat capsized amidst rough seas produced by Domeng. Later that day PAGASA reported that Domeng had weakened into a tropical depression, before reporting early the next day that after it had passed through the Babuyan Islands, Domeng had weakened into an area of low pressure. Early on August 6, the JTWC reported that a tropical disturbance formed within the monsoon gyre about 800 km (500 mi) southeast of Taipei, Taiwan.  During that day the JMA started to monitor the depression before the JTWC designated it as Tropical Depression 05W. The depression was then upgraded into a tropical storm by the JMA and named "Dianmu".  After moving northward for several days, it turned northeastward and struck southern South Korea. Dianmu weakened as it crossed the Korean peninsula and emerged into the Sea of Japan. Heavy rains produced by the storm resulted in one fatality after a cargo ship sank amidst rough seas produced by the storm. This marked the first time in nine years that a rain-related fatality took place in the capital city of Seoul. More than 3,000 homes were destroyed in eastern China after heavy rains from the outer bands of Dianmu struck the region.  The storm made landfall on Japan; exiting the country within five hours. Heavy rains were reported through out the islands. Nearly a week after the two ships sank off the coast of the Philippines, 31 crew members remain missing and are presumed dead after numerous coast guard rescue attempts. Damage from the storm on Jeju Island amounted to 5 billion won ($4.2 million USD). Early on August 17, an area of low pressure formed about 415 km (260 mi), northeast of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. On the evening of August 18, as it crossed Babuyan Islands, the disturbance's low level center (LLC) weakened due to land interaction and high vertical wind shear. It regenerated on August 20 when it was located about 280 km (175 miles), to the west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan. Early on the next day, the LLCC of the disturbance became partially exposed due to a Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) that was developing off Luzon at that time. On the afternoon of that day, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the system into a tropical depression. The next day, they further upgraded the depression into a tropical storm and named it "Mindulle". At the same time, the JTWC reported that Tropical Depression 06W has intensified into a tropical storm. Thousands of fishermen were urged to return to port. According to Vietnamese officials, contact was lost with 10 vessels on August 24 and the 137 fishermen on the ships were listed as missing. Rainfall, peaking at 297 mm (11.7 in),[59] led to significant flooding and agricultural losses. A Tropical depression formed on August 26, it survived for three days with no change in strength. it rapidly traveled northwest and dissipated on August 29. On August 28, the JMA upgraded the system to a Tropical Storm and was named "Lionrock". Early of september 1, Lionrock made a Fujiwhara effect with Namtheun, whilst Lionrock maintained it's strength while Namtheun was absorbed. Lionrock made landfall on the east coast of Guangdong Province, China, just north of the city of Shantou. It then started to dissipate and weaken into a tropical storm and moved over Guangzhou, Guangdong's capital. Lionrock soon lost it's intensity as it went over Guangdong. Midday of August 29, the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system as a Low Level Circulation Centre had become organized. On the morning of that same day, the JTWC announced that the system had quickly developed into a tropical storm and assigned the designation "08W". Intensification continued, then by midday of August 30, the JMA reported that the depression had intensified into a tropical storm and assigned it the international designation "Kompasu". In addition, PAGASA also announced that the low pressure in the northeast of Batanes had formed and assigned it a local name, "Glenda". At the same time, the JTWC also upgraded Kompasu into a category 1 typhoon. On the next day, Kompasu crossed the island of Kadena and rapidly intensified into a category 2 typhoon equivalent. On September 1, Kompasu was upgraded by JTWC as a category 3 typhoon equivalent, becoming the strongest typhoon of the season. The storm later weakened to a category one typhoon in the Yellow Sea, before veering northeast and making landfall on Ganghwa Island, northwest of Incheon and Seoul, killing at least four people.[61] Kompasu was the strongest tropical storm to hit the Seoul metropolitan area in 15 years. On August 27, an extensive cloud formed in the waters east of Taiwan. On August 28, it developed into a low pressure. At 18:00, near Yaeyama Islands, the Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the low pressure into a tropical depression. There were two tropical cyclones developing on both sides of 09W (namely Lionrock and Kompasu), and Typhoon Kompasu had a relatively stronger intensity, causing 09W moved southwest to Taiwan Strait. On August 30, it caused heavy rain in northern Taiwan. Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau could only issue a tropical depression warning since it had not strengthened to a tropical storm. At 20:00, 09W suddenly intensified into a tropical storm, and was named Namtheun. However, due to the development of another stronger tropical storm Lionrock at South China Sea, the increase of intensity of Namtheun was difficult. In the evening hours of August 31, Namtheun weakened into a tropical depression north of Taiwan Strait. Whilst Lionrock maintained it's strength while Namtheun was absorbed. Late on August 28, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center reported that an area of low pressure system associated with a tropical disturbance had developed about 1,000 mi (1,600 km) to the southwest of Honolulu in Hawaii. Isolated thunderstorms were developing in association with the small low-level circulation. During the next day the disturbance moved towards the west and moved into the western Pacific where the JMA immediately designated it as a tropical depression. The depression was expected to bring inclement weather to Majauro and nearby atolls, although the system significantly weakened before reaching the area.

'''Storm Basics'''
* A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a large low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain.
* While tropical cyclones can produce extremely powerful winds and torrential rain, they are also able to produce high waves and damaging storm surge as well as spawning tornadoes.
* The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in maritime tropical air masses.
* Many tropical cyclones develop when the atmospheric conditions around a weak disturbance in the atmosphere are favorable. The background environment is modulated by climatological cycles and patterns such as the Madden-Julian oscillation, El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation.
