Apologies to poster from IP address 141.155.145.33, but I've gotten lots of information from a NOAA. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:31, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Lots of info here. The impact section needs better structuring, and the intro isn't long enough. Jdorje 21:15, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

This article desperately needs it. Just look at the history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.76.111 (talk) 22:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Protection is unnecessary at this point, as the levels of vandalism aren't exceptionally high. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:01, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just have too high standards then. Oh well. 71.245.76.111 (talk) 23:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New England and Canada

"In Vineyard Vines, electronic stores reported their best business sales in years, with supplies of D-batteries being cleaned off the shelves."

I'm guess that's meant to say Martha's Vineyard, but I didn't want to change it in case there is a place somewhere else in New England called that. The current link is to a clothing store that opened seven years after the storm. Sahasrahla (talk) 21:40, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    - That's only for storm articles with the year. The retired storms can certainly keep the dab. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 11:12, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Significantly cooler sea surface temperatures in the path of the hurricane resulted in weakening, leading to the eye becoming cloud-filled. Later on August 19, the western portion of the eyewall brushed the eastern tip of Long Island" how cool were the SSTs's? 25C? 26C?

Why does watches and warnings have it's own section? It is in any other TC ASFASIKOF? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- That was another editor's choice, and I believe it works well for Bob, due to the many upgrades/downgrades. I'm not sure what ASFASIKOF is... --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:06, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"In the Bay of Fundy, fishermen were urged to return to port in fears of large swells from Hurricane Bob.[20]" can this one-sentence paragraph be combined with anther due to its small size.YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- I think it's fine on its own. It's not like it's its own section. It's only a mini-Canada paragraph. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:06, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"was replaced with "Bill" in the 1997 season.[65]" How is this relavant to the article? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- Because the name was retired due to this storm. We always list what the replacement name is. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:06, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - What does that have to do with the storm though. I am trying to set a precedent for other articles. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:29, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Because this storm was retired and the name was replaced. That's all encyclopediac info. If you want to change stuff, you should propose it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 11:12, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job finding so much impact! However, I am going to leave this article on hold for now. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 July 2019

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Correct the paragraph relating to impacts in New England. The article states that roads in Coventry, Rhode Island were washed out due to wave action. This is highly unlikely, as Coventry is not a coastal community. This statement should be removed. 72.87.65.128 (talk) 16:30, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: according to the source, roads were indeed washed out in Coventry, but it appears unrelated to the wave action. Reworded the sentence to clarify this. Highway 89 (talk) 18:42, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
