I think hurricane season should have more under ground shelters whitch could save more peoples lives so the population in that country would have more chance of living.
Hurricanes are very powerful so for the rise of water you should have much more higher
barries so in can prefent flooding in the country of america and the other countrys that
have HURRICANES seasons. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by217.23.232.194 (talk • contribs) .
While I don't claim to have any expertise in the field, I think I can safely say that is completely impractical to have government-run hurricane shelters that serve no other purpose (schools, post offices and other government buildings are usually used in an emergency). The problem is that hurricanes do not strike any particular area very often. Even Florida is hit by a notable hurricane only once every few years, and almost everywhere else affected by hurricanes receives a major hit less than once in a decade. Furthermore, even in Florida, a hurricane that strikes the Florida panhandle will have no effects on the east coast and vice versa - each individual area is hit about once a decade. Keeping hurricane shelters running throughout 6 months of the year for a storm that hits once every decade is just not worthwhile. Government needs to work on disaster preparation, but not by building shelters. As for barricades - what do you barricade? Do you build a wall all along the entire Gulf coast and the east coast south of Virginia? Beachgoers won't like that, and it would cost well into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Some places do have flood protection. New Orleans was obviously the most notable example; the problem was not that protection didn't exist but rather that the protection was insufficient, and the city is in about the worst possible location for a city. - Cuivienen05:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article needs better balance in the storms section. The most significant storms have practically nothing on them. Jdorje06:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!
"with 13 known tropical cyclones" - I'd say "recorded" instead of "known"
"caused 2 deaths " - spell the number
"and contributed the flooding from Connie and Diane" - first, grammar, and second, did it? Ione was largely in NC, I thought.
" Category 5 hurricane" - mention SSHS here
"lashed several countries adjacent to the Caribbean Sea, as well as Mexico and British Honduras" - why not say "in the Caribbean"? Also, Mexico and B.H. are in Caribbean.
"Tropical Storm Eleven" - this is a personal preference, but I hate seeing TS 11 written like this. Why not say there was a TS in October?
"caused minor damage due to landfall in a sparsely populated area of Hispaniola" - get rid of "due to landfall"
"totaling to at $200,000–$300,000" - awkward. You don't need "to" after total, and why not say "over $200,000"?
" making it the costliest season at the time" - that's already said in the lede.
"The 1955 Atlantic hurricane season was, at the time, the costliest season ever recorded. The hurricane season officially began on June 15, and ended on November 15." switch the order of "season" and "hurricane season", but keep the wikilink. YEPacificHurricane01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It means the actual season. In this context, it refers to how Alice developed in January, but the first storm during the season dates was Barbara.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"although the rains from Connie contributed to flooding from Hurricane Diane that caused $700-800 million in damage.[4] " no need for the stuff after "that". Stuff like that IMO belongs in the season summary. YEPacificHurricane
"potentially as many as 200.[28]" I don't like this kind of speculation. The infobox in the awesome storm article says it was at least 184. IMO, this should be removed. YEPacificHurricane01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"A tropical wave developed into a tropical depression early on September 10, while located between Cape Verde and the Lesser Antilles.[4] " is it me or should the word "midway" be in here somehow. YEPacificHurricane
"Names that were not assigned are marked in gray." is this needed? It says it is unused below next to the actual name. I know this is in every season article though. YEPacificHurricane01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose); and
I have just modified one external link on 1955 Atlantic hurricane season. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
