Talk:Hurricane Fran

Areas affected

The template table only mentions some of the places Fran affected. Didn't she hit southern Ontario and southern Québec as a tropical depression and even western Maine as an extratropical storm. Maybe somebody could find more information about Fran's dying days. Devahn58 20:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Strength Over Land

I lived in Raleigh, NC at the time Fran came inland and we were told by news media that when Fran hit the coast she was at Category 3 strength and that by the time she came inland as far as Raleigh, she was still a Category 1 hurricane, and only downgraded to Tropical Storm strength after she passed into Virginia. Is there a way to verify this? Mirlin 19:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The NHC report on Fran contains that information (Fran weakened to a tropical storm over NC not VA though).--Nilfanion (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Article title

Is there a way to change the article's title to Hurricane Fran (1996)? --Miss Dark 21:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Why would we? The format is that all retired hurricanes get the main article (no year identifier). Fran was retired, so need for the (1996). Hurricanehink (talk) 02:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I just saw on the disambiguation page that there was a 1973 Hurricane Fran. And the article for 1996's Bertha is followed by the (1996). --Miss Dark 03:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The 1973 Hurricane Fran doesn't have an article, and Bertha wasn't retired. If Hurricane XXX was retired, then there is no year identifier. Hurricanehink (talk) 12:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
