Welcome, and Re: Storms outside of database

Hey there Shearwater. First, from one hurricane lover to another, welcome to Wikipedia! If you're interested in writing on tropical cyclones, there is a group of editors who formed the tropical cyclone WikiProject, which is a gathering place for people like us. I think it'd be great if you could join us, as we're a bit short on editors during the off-season, and we can always use another person with interest in storms. Do you plan on writing/contributing?

OK, back to your question. I don't know of a list of storms that aren't in the database, but I can help you out in finding them. Here is an archive of satellite images from 1978 through 2008. Yea, that might sound huge to look through, but it's a start. I'm not sure if you've heard of Gary Padgett, but he writes a summary on tropical activity worldwide for every month of every year. His summaries are located here in the middle, where it says [Summaries and Operational Track Data]. It goes back to October 1997, and has several storms in the Atlantic that were not properly designated. I should note that Wikipedia has a fairly strict policy in only writing on the official storms (with few exceptions). Still, it's fun to look at storms that almost made it :)

So, one more time, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope to see you around. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Great! All you have to do is add your name to the end of the top list located here (you would be after User:X!). So, I'm just curious, where do you see yourself being active in the project? Talk to you later. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the project! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or anyone else. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:08, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey, that's cool. There's actually a List of New England hurricanes article, which would include most of those storms plus ones you might not know of. BTW, have you seen the Five pillars of Wikipedia? They're a pretty cool set of suggestions of what to do/what not to do. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

It's me again. I just wanted to remind you of one of Wikipedia's core policies - everything you add to an article must be backed up by a source. For example, your little addition to Hurricane Daisy (1962) might get removed, as there's no proof if it is true or not. The simplest way is to put the link in brackets, [like this], and put <ref> and </ref> at the beginning and end. It might seem a little annoying, but citing is a good habit to get into, especially if/when you aim for featured article status. Talk to you later. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Signatures in nature from the trees.

As a simple nature loving person , it is a past time of mine to observe trees. There is a signature of occurrence in this particular piece of property. Rightly more than one. There are two older trees on this property that suggest the force was extremely significant. I have a few photos on my phone. Anyway idk if this is of any interest to you , but I think they would be a good historical account and visual aid for reference. It's also concerning that the weather is getting more extreme and trees that size could be gone and we miss our chance of capturing their memory. 23.25.214.209 (talk) 15:19, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
