I know this is not a hurricane-related death given current information, but it seems like there could be potential it is. Just keep an eye on this story if you're interested in updating the death toll. [1] There is a good chance that this is just an unfortunate drowning that just so happened as Debby passed by.

It said officials are still looking into a cause of death so I wouldn’t include it as a storm related death for now. 64.150.157.145 (talk) 02:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Preparations headings

edit

Currently, only the United States has information under the preparations heading. Would it be ok to promote the states' subheadings and remove the United States'? My biggest concern is that without the context of the United States being displayed, some foreign readers may not know that we are talking about American states. ✶Quxyz 15:44, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think there's ever been a hurricane in Georgia (the country), nor that confirming this to the reader is necessary - the first sentence already identifies Debby as a hurricane which "caused widespread flooding across the Southeastern United States" 69.165.195.198 (talk) 12:03, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Post-tropical Debby and the North-East/Canada

edit

The article currently doesn't mention it at all but Debby also impacted the North-Eastern states (ex. PA, VA, VT; VT; NY) and Canada (ON, QC; QC; NB, NS), bringing torrential rain and causing widespread flooding and power outages. 69.165.195.198 (talk) 12:19, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tornado outbreak article

edit

I think the tornado outbreak should have a separate article. The reasons are: 1. There were 24 tornadoes, with 3 being strong 2. 1 death and several injuries occurred 3. The outbreak was widespread and caused some significant damage. Before an article is created, I wanted to get everyone else's opinion. 2600:1014:B142:D7EF:0:14:C36:C001 (talk) 23:57, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The tornadoes are not independently notable from the storm, plus tropical cyclones generating some tornadoes is not uncommon, so no need to split away relevant information to a separate article. The tornado outbreak seems to pale in comparison to that of Beryl, and there are only very few such articles (Category:Tornado_outbreaks_spawned_by_tropical_cyclones), so seems reserved for more exceptional cases than this. 69.165.195.198 (talk) 01:53, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
While there were certainly many tornadoes spawned by Debby, like stated above, Beryl had so many more, and because the storm itself wasn't as notable as Beryl, I doubt the tornadoes deserve a standalone article. Shmego (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Source for damage cost

edit

Please provide a visible reference to a reliable source on the front page. The lack of a visible source is irritating, in addition to reversing edits regarding that due them lacking sources as well. I understand they lack sources but this is somewhat hypocritical. Nagito Komaeda the Second (talk) 23:15, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
