Talk:1953 Atlantic hurricane season

Untitled

Umm, the "first time human names had been used to name storms". That's blatantly not true, for example there was a Hurricane George in 1951. Yes that George was named for the word for G in the phonetic alphabet, not the human name directly. Plus of course naming of tropical cyclones started in 1945 (or earlier?) in the West Pacific. That sentence in the intro needs a rephrase.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Fewest deaths

Based on the information at Hurricanehink's rewrite of List of Atlantic hurricane seasons, this season has the fewest deaths in the period since 1950 (excluding this season). If this good sort of record is true, it should certainly be mentioned here, although I am not sure if a simple means to verify/cite this exists.

Carol, Category 5???

In a analysis of 1944-1953 says that Hurricane Carol peaked 140 kts (160 mph) making an Category 5 hurricane

That reanalysis is unofficial. It was someone's dissertation, albeit highly well-done. As it hasn't been approved by HURDAT (and likely won't be done for another 2 years), we can't change Carol's status. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:20, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
