:::::{{ping|CrazyC83}} I'm surprised that I have to say this but we don't define impact as when a system made landfall, since there are so many systems that don't make landfall but still impact land by producing rain etc. As a result, Katrina might have been a C3 at landfall at 11:10 on August 29, but it almost certainly impacted the state while a C4 if not a C5 during August 29. Also, you introducing Betsy to the mix as supposedly the last C4 to impact the state, just shows how poor, trivial and misleading the 1856 record is imo.[[User:Jason Rees|Jason Rees]] ([[User talk:Jason Rees|talk]]) 09:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC) |

::::::Just a note on this topic: the NHC said that Katrina hit Louisiana as a Cat 3.

:::::::At the end of the day {{ping|ChessEric}} NHC are wrong if they are saying that Katrina hit Louisana as a Cat 3 unless they are referring to its landfall, unless of course the impacts before the landfall on August 29 at 11:10 amazingly don't count. :)[[User:Jason Rees|Jason Rees]] ([[User talk:Jason Rees|talk]]) 21:03, 2 June 2021 (UTC) |

::::::::{{ping|Jason Rees}} I gotcha. And yes, I was referring to the Cat 3 landfall. The max winds in Louisiana were briefly Cat 4, which the NHC acknowledged.[[User:ChessEric|ChessEric]] ([[User talk:ChessEric|talk]] <b>·</b> [[Special:Contribs/ChessEric|contribs]]) 03:21, 7 June 2021 (UTC) |

:::::::::{{Ping|ChessEric}} At the end of the day, Katrina may not have made landfall as a Cat 4, but it still hit/impacted SW Louisana as a Cat 4/5 before making landfall. As a result, I am convinced that the record is misleading and thus am tempted to remove it.[[User:Jason Rees|Jason Rees]] ([[User talk:Jason Rees|talk]]) 18:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::::{{Ping|Jason Rees}} I'm not so sure about that one. The storm was borderline Cat 4 on its approach to Louisiana and I HIGHLY doubt there being Cat 5 winds there. Seems a bit too high imo.

::::::::::{{Ping|ChessEric}} Let me make it as clear as I can for you: The record we are talking about states that Laura was the first Category 4 hurricane to hit SW Louisana since 1856. However, unless the impacts that Katrina caused in the 12 hours before it made landfall don't count, the system hit/impacted SW Louisana as a Category 4 if not a 5. If they don't count I would like to know why as on Wiki the term hit is used in place of impacted as far as I know, since tropical cyclones don't always make landfall on an island nation, but still hit them with gale-force winds, heavy rainfall etc even when they pass offshore. As a result, I am even more convinced that the record is misleading and am extremely tempted to remove it.[[User:Jason Rees|Jason Rees]] ([[User talk:Jason Rees|talk]]) 20:30, 14 June 2021 (UTC) |

{{outdent}}{{Ping|Jason Rees}} Ahhhhhh...I get it now. Thanks for the clarification. Question: would you remove both records or just one of them? [[User:ChessEric|ChessEric]] ([[User talk:ChessEric|talk]] <b>·</b> [[Special:Contribs/ChessEric|contribs]]) 21:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:{{Ping|ChessEric}} The only record that needs to go is the one that says "Laura [was] the first Category 4 hurricane to ever hit southwestern Louisiana since the 1856 Last Island hurricane" as I believe that the other one makes more sense and is directly backed up by NHC.[[User:Jason Rees|Jason Rees]] ([[User talk:Jason Rees|talk]]) 21:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC) |
|||
::{{ping|Jason Rees}} Gotcha. I would be fine with that. Additionally, an EXACT definition of what part of Louisiana are in the southwestern part of the state is IMPOSSIBLE to make imo.

I'm making a draft about the Effects of Hurricane Laura in Louisiana. It needs some help; will anyone help me with it? Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 18:18, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sure I’ll help and soon I might make a draft about the Effects of Hurricane Delta in the Yucatán Peninsula. Robloxsupersuperhappyface (talk) 17:44, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I was just gonna say that lol Robloxsupersuperhappyface (talk) 17:38, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since Marco became the third hurricane of the season before Laura did, can I insert a few words in this sentence for a sequential hurricane formation but in parenthesis?
The twelfth named storm, fourth hurricane, and first major hurricane of the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season
-->
The twelfth named storm, fourth hurricane (Marco was third), and first major hurricane of the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season
It's going to be a minor edit for that. --Allen (talk / ctrb) 21:37, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyclonebiskit, Destroyeraa, TornadoLGS, DachshundLover82, Allen2, Jason Rees, Hurricanehuron33, CrazyC83, MarioProtIV, Gummycow, Super Cyclonic Storm Corona, Wikicanada1127, and Hurricaneboy23: So I was rewriting the Meteorological history of Hurricane Laura to make it consistent with the TCR and came across this:
Laura was the strongest hurricane to strike Louisiana since Hurricane Camille of 1969 (which produced category 5 conditions over the southeastern part of the state).
Now I'm kind of curious. I incorporated both the 1856 Last Island hurricane (which is the one we're comparing Laura to) and Hurricane Camille (the one the NHC is comparing Laura to) into the following sentences:
Turning almost due north, Laura made its final landfall near Cameron, Louisiana around 06:00 UTC with 150 mph (240 km/h) winds and a pressure of 939 mbars (27.73 inches). The wind speed made Laura the first Category 4 hurricane to ever hit southwestern Louisiana since the 1856 Last Island hurricane as well as the strongest hurricane to hit the state since Hurricane Camillein1969 (which produced Category 5 conditions over the southeastern portion of the state).
However, I'm still wondering about whether or not we should keep the record in comparison to the 1956 Last Island, the record in comparison to Camille, or both. For me, its both. Thoughts? ChessEric (talk · contribs) 01:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jason Rees: Ahhhhhh...I get it now. Thanks for the clarification. Question: would you remove both records or just one of them? ChessEric (talk · contribs) 21:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
