According to the [[Köppen climate classification]], the '''climate of [[New York City]]''' is [[humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]] ('''Cfa'''), with parts of the city transitioning into a [[humid continental climate]]. ('''Dfa''').<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=/media/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Koppen_World_Map_%28retouched_version%29.png|title=World Map of Köppen-Geiger climate classification|last1=Peel|first1=M.C.|last2=Finlayson|first2=B.L.|publisher=The University of Melbourne |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150113015116//media/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Koppen_World_Map_%28retouched_version%29.png|archive-date=January 13, 2015|url-status=dead|access-date=27 June 2020}}</ref> The city experiences moderately cold, somewhat wet and snowy winters; and hot, humid summers with plentiful rainfall all year round. As it is more geographically southern, it is usually warmer in winter than in [[Upstate New York]]. Also, New York's enormous population, human activity, and vast amounts of large buildings and streets, which absorb sunlight during the day, contribute significantly to the [[urban heat island effect]]. Were it not for this phenomenon, its climate would probably be within the humid continental temperature range.

Meteorological records have been kept at [[Central Park]] since 1821, although the station was relocated to a different part of the park on January 1, 1920.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GHCND/stations/GHCND:USW00094728/detail|title=Station Data Inventory, Access & History|publisher=NOAA|access-date=27 June 2020}}</ref> There are also other weather stations in the area including one at [[LaGuardia Airport]], beginning in 1940, and at [[JFK Airport]], beginning in 1948. However, due to Central Park's long records and central location, it is often considered the main station for the city. Hence, all records unless otherwise stated will be for this station.

The highest temperature ever observed in Central Park is {{Convert|106|F|C}} on July 9, 1936 - although LaGuardia reported {{Convert|107|F|C}} on July 3, 1966, and the lowest is {{Convert|-15|F|C}} on February 9, 1934. The lowest daily maximum is {{Convert|2|F|C}} on December 30, 1917. The highest daily minimum at Central Park is {{Convert|87|F|C}} on July 2, 1903.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/warmcolddays.pdf|title=Warmest and Coldest Days at Central Park (1869 to Present)|publisher=NOAA|access-date=27 June 2020}}</ref>

The city can be prone to extremes. Snowfall averages {{convert|29.8|in|cm|1|abbr=on}} per year but is highly variable between winter seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/climate/records/wetdryyearsmonths.html|title = Record Wet and Dry Years and Months at CPK|publisher = NWS Upton, New York|access-date = 2020-07-05}}</ref> The city can also be prone to strong winds, being a coastal location it is exposed to the Atlantic. This can be especially pronounced during the autumn and winter months, with a gust of {{Convert|78|mph}} being reported on December 2, 1974.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/extremes.pdf|title=All-Time Extremes Central Park, NY (1869 to Present)|publisher=NOAA|access-date=14 June 2021}}</ref> [[Governors Island]], [[Manhattan]], in [[New York Harbor]], is planned to host a US$1 billion research and education center poised to make New York City the global leader in addressing the [[climate change|climate crisis]].<ref name=NYCGlobalClimateLeader>{{cite web|url=https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/781-22/mayor-adams-trust-governors-island-finalist-proposals-climate-solutions-center#/0|title= Mayor Adams, Trust For Governors Island Unveil Finalist Proposals For Climate Solutions Center|publisher=City of New York|date=October 26, 2022|access-date=October 29, 2022}}</ref>

Most of the city is found in 7b, with forested areas and parks being in 7a, as shown in Staten Island and suburban areas. The city also has some small densely populated areas in 8a, like around Laguardia airport.<ref>{{Cite web |title=USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map 1 |url=https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/ |access-date=2023-04-12 |website=planthardiness.ars.usda.gov |language=en-us}}</ref>

==Temperature==
The city's regime of temperature features large seasonal swings, with four distinct seasons. However, due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, these swings are less significant than areas further inland. The Atlantic serves as a moderator of the temperature meaning the city is milder than areas inland during the winter and cooler during the summer. Although, being on the east coast, this effect is less pronounced. All extremes are for the Central Park station.

===Averages===
In an average year, the temperature will usually be between {{Convert|8|F}} and {{Convert|97|F}} with temperatures greatly exceeding these values being uncommon. Temperatures above {{Convert|100|F}} and below {{Convert|0|F}} are very rare, with the last occurrences being July 18, 2012 and February 14, 2016, respectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.weather2000.com/NY_Cold.html |title=Days below 0°F in New York City |access-date=24 June 2021 |archive-date=26 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326153735/http://weather2000.com/NY_Cold.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Other phenomena==
===Sunshine, UV and daylight===
The city generally experiences sunny conditions. As a result of New York City's latitude, {{coord|40.712740|N|74.005974|W|region:US-NY|format=dms|display=inline,title}}, it is not subject to the extremes of daylight that places much farther north see.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gps-coordinates.net/|title=GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude with interactive Maps|website=www.gps-coordinates.net}}</ref> However, it is far north enough for there to be a moderate change of possible daylight hours throughout the year.<ref name="Weather Atlas NYC2">{{cite web |url=https://www.weather-us.com/en/new-york-usa/new-york-climate |title=New York, New York, USA - Monthly weather forecast and Climate data |publisher=Weather Atlas |access-date=4 July 2019}}</ref>

===Wind===
The wind is seldom strong in New York City but can occasionally be noticeable. This is especially true in the autumn and winter seasons when [[extratropical]] depressions often bring strong winds. The strongest gust in Central Park, of {{Convert|78|mph}}, occurred on December 2, 1974, however, a station at The Battery reported a gust of {{Convert|113|mph}} on October 14, 1954.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/extremes.pdf |title = All-Time Extremes Central Park, NY (1869 to Present) |publisher = [[National Weather Service]]|access-date = 25 June 2021}}</ref>
However, tropical storms can sometimes affect the area, although they are infrequent and usually weak. Most recently [[Hurricane Sandy]] struck the city on October 29, 2012, causing billions of dollars in damage. It resulted in loss of power, severe flooding and many residents being displaced.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cdbgdr/about/About%20Hurricane%20Sandy.page#:~:text=Impact%20of%20Hurricane%20Sandy&text=The%20storm%20resulted%20in%20the,New%20Yorkers%20were%20temporarily%20displaced. |title = Impact of Hurricane Sandy |publisher = 1.nyc.gov |access-date = 25 June 2021 |archive-date = 25 June 2021 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210625065159/https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cdbgdr/about/About%20Hurricane%20Sandy.page#:~:text=Impact%20of%20Hurricane%20Sandy&text=The%20storm%20resulted%20in%20the,New%20Yorkers%20were%20temporarily%20displaced. |url-status = dead }}</ref>

==Climate change==
{{main|Climate change in New York City}}
[[File:DSC 4585 (8204033522).jpg|alt=The Queens–Midtown Tunnel is seen flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.|thumb|[[Queens–Midtown Tunnel]] after flooding caused by [[Hurricane Sandy]] on October 29, 2012. Climate change means events like this will become more likely.]]
Being a coastal city, New York City is expected to experience significant effects from rising sea levels. Predictions that the sea level will rise by as much as {{Convert|6|ft}} by 2100 have prompted the city's mayor to invest $10 billion into keeping the city safe.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/14/18265833/new-york-city-climate-change-sea-level-rise-bill-de-blasio-development|title =NYC mayor has a $10 billion plan to protect Manhattan from rising seas |date =14 March 2019 |publisher = [[The Verge]]|access-date = 25 June 2021}}</ref> The city is also expected to become more susceptible to storm surges and flooding, meaning events like Hurricane Sandy's impacts will become more likely in the future.

===Temperature===
The temperature in New York City has generally increased steadily of the last 150 years and this trend is expected to continue due to anthropogenic warming. By 2080, it is predicted that the climate of the city will be similar to northern [[Arkansas]]. The mean temperature has risen by {{convert|2.4|F-change}} since the 1970s and this warming is expected to accelerate in the coming decades.<ref>{{cite web |url =https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/02/12/global-warming-climate-change-shift-climates-south/2847860002/|title =By 2080, global warming will make New York City feel like Arkansas|newspaper = [[USA Today]]|access-date = 25 June 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url =https://www.dec.ny.gov/energy/94702.html#:~:text=The%20annual%20average%20temperature%20statewide,northern%20parts%20of%20New%20York.|title =Impacts of Climate Change in New York|newspaper = [[USA Today]]|access-date = 25 June 2021}}</ref>

===Precipitation===
Precipitation in the city has significantly increased since 2000; both rainfall and snowfall have risen, but snowfall has increased much more significantly. However, it is argued that such trends, being so recent, make it impossible to predict whether such increases will continue or become steadier.<ref>{{cite web |url =https://newyorkyimby.com/2017/12/why-new-york-citys-rapidly-rising-snowfall-totals-are-no-holiday-miracle.html|title =Why New York City's Rapidly Rising Snowfall Totals Are No Holiday Miracle|date =29 December 2017|publisher = New York Yimby|access-date = 25 June 2021}}</ref>

== Potential hurricane-related death pending further information ==

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. [https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/regional/florida/orlando-boy-missing-found-dead-waterford-lakes/67-f8ab092c-80ab-45ef-ba34-7cfb90eb4cea] There is a good chance that this is just an unfortunate drowning that just so happened as Debby passed by. [[User:Raskuly|Raskuly]] ([[User talk:Raskuly|talk]]) 20:21, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

:It said officials are still looking into a cause of death so I wouldn’t include it as a storm related death for now. [[Special:Contributions/64.150.157.145|64.150.157.145]] ([[User talk:64.150.157.145|talk]]) 02:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
::I know. [[User:Raskuly|Raskuly]] ([[User talk:Raskuly|talk]]) 12:35, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

== Preparations headings ==

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. [[User:Quxyz|✶Qux]][[User talk:Quxyz|yz]][[special:contributions/Quxyz|✶]] 15:44, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

: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" [[Special:Contributions/69.165.195.198|69.165.195.198]] ([[User talk:69.165.195.198|talk]]) 12:03, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

== Post-tropical Debby and the North-East/Canada ==

The article currently doesn't mention it at all but Debby also impacted the North-Eastern states (ex. [https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2024-08-09-tracking-debby-impacts-virginia-new-york-vermont PA, VA, VT]; [https://www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2024-08-09/damage-debby-arrives-officials-warn-vermonters-stay-vigilant VT]; [https://apnews.com/article/rangers-yankees-rain-postponed-050b185a697e4c8b17e69b67c6c1a223 NY]) and Canada ([https://globalnews.ca/news/10689847/debby-storm-rain-quebec-ontario/ ON, QC]; [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/rainy-forecast-event-cancellations-quebec-1.7289732 QC]; [https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/more/rain-wind-expected-as-remnants-of-debby-pass-by-the-maritimes-1.6995063 NB, NS]), bringing torrential rain and causing widespread flooding and power outages. [[Special:Contributions/69.165.195.198|69.165.195.198]] ([[User talk:69.165.195.198|talk]]) 12:19, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

== Tornado outbreak article ==

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. [[Special:Contributions/2600:1014:B142:D7EF:0:14:C36:C001|2600:1014:B142:D7EF:0:14:C36:C001]] ([[User talk:2600:1014:B142:D7EF:0:14:C36:C001|talk]]) 23:57, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

: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. [[Special:Contributions/69.165.195.198|69.165.195.198]] ([[User talk:69.165.195.198|talk]]) 01:53, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
: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. [[User:Shmego|Shmego]] ([[User talk:Shmego|talk]]) 15:13, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
::most hurricane tornado outbreaks with articles only had 20-40 tornadoes, and plus, beryls outbreak was a rare occurance. [[Special:Contributions/2600:1014:B14C:D3B8:0:56:5062:8501|2600:1014:B14C:D3B8:0:56:5062:8501]] ([[User talk:2600:1014:B14C:D3B8:0:56:5062:8501|talk]]) 16:50, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

== Source for damage cost ==

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.

== Highlight damage done in Quebec ==

Hello, I think this article needs to highlight the catastrophic damage encountered in Quebec. Reputable sources state 2.5 billion dollars in damage only in Quebec, the costliest of any natural catastrophe in Quebec's history. This article makes it sound like Debby was a trivial hurricane while in Quebec it was the a historical one.

{{requested move/dated|Hurricane Debby}}

[[:Hurricane Debby (2024)]] → {{no redirect|Hurricane Debby}} – Considering how destructive the storm was, especially with damages in Quebec almost reaching US$2bn, it feels like it is valid for [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]. Not to mention that according to preliminary estimates, it is also the most destructive incarnation of ''Debby'' as a whole, as well. [[User:Stareiglace|Stareiglace]] ([[User talk:Stareiglace|talk]]) 07:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

:'''Weak support''' – Though [[Hurricane Debby (1988)|1988's Debby]] was deadlier, this year's Debby has a lot of coverage, which is the main factor in which an article is deemed [[WP:PRITOP]], However, I'm still unsure about the fact that [[Hurricane Debbie (1961)]], although had a slightly different spelling, was nearly 7 times deadlier, I'm not sure if the name similarity can affect in which an article can be considered as primary topic as I'm still new to the tropical cyclone scene. [[User:SomeoneWiki04|SomeoneWiki04]] ([[User talk:SomeoneWiki04|talk]]) 13:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
:'''Oppose''' per above. Debby wasn't historic like [[Hurricane Beryl|Beryl]], [[Hurricane Helene|Helene]], or [[Hurricane Milton|Milton]], and I personally doubt the name will be retired given the damage and fatalities. Debby isn't a storm that's going to be remembered for years to come by those not affected, nor is it going to have the notoriety of many others. Although, I will say it's on the edge of what a primary topic would be, even if it's on the lower end of that gradient. [[User:Departure–|Departure–]] ([[User talk:Departure–|talk]]) 13:36, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
::I respect your view on this, but I would like to re-iterate on the reported damage in Quebec. I'd just like to mention that USD$1.8bn alone may not seem like much when compared to other systems, but it is a significant amount when in the context of damage in Canada. The damage in Canada from Fiona 2022 was almost $600mn and Igor 2010 was roughly $200mn. <s>Although now that I look at it more, I'm not sure how to compare ''insured'' damage to property damage.</s> [[User:Stareiglace|Stareiglace]] ([[User talk:Stareiglace|talk]]) 23:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
:'''Oppose''' While the storm certainly did a large amount of damage, it will not be remembered for the ages as it didn't really do much. US impact costs need to be higher as a mild rainstorm can cause a few million in impacts because of how valuable the nation is. [[User:Quxyz|✶Qux]][[User talk:Quxyz|yz]][[special:contributions/Quxyz|✶]] 23:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
:'''Oppose''' – Though a damaging hurricane, Debby 2024 had no enduring notability, and no apparent long-term preeminence. [[User:Drdpw|Drdpw]] ([[User talk:Drdpw|talk]]) 01:26, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
*'''Weak support''' this storm could be retired due to the historic damage in Quebec. [[Special:Contributions/107.122.189.83|107.122.189.83]] ([[User talk:107.122.189.83|talk]]) 01:41, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

<onlyinclude>
There have been 115 [[Atlantic hurricane|hurricanes or tropical storms]] that affected the U.S. state of [[New Jersey]].</onlyinclude> Due to its location, few hurricanes have hit the state directly, though numerous hurricanes have passed near or through New Jersey in its history. About every 10 years, hurricanes approach the coastline close enough to send waves over barrier islands' dunes and into back bays. According to an estimate by meteorologist George Prouflis, the chances for a direct hit by a hurricane on the Jersey Shore each year is 1 in 200.<ref name="Buchholz et al.">{{cite book|last=Buchholz|first=Margaret|author2=Larry Savadove |year=1993|title=Great Storms of the Jersey Shore|publisher=Down the Shore Publishing|isbn=0-945582-51-X}}</ref>

New Jersey has seen the remnants of several once-powerful hurricanes, some resulting in heavy damage. Nine storms dropped over {{convert|10|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rainfall in the state, including a hurricane in 1940 that interacted with a [[cold front]] and dropped {{convert|24|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rainfall in [[Ewan, New Jersey|Ewan]]. Numerous hurricanes that remained offshore have each drowned small numbers of swimmers.

==List of tropical cyclones==
Most of the following are tropical cyclones that passed through the state after weakening from their peak.

===Pre–1900===
In the 19th century, two hurricanes struck the coastline, each in 1804 and in 1821; both caused minor damage. The most significant storm of the century was the [[Gale of 1878]], which produced hurricane-force winds across western [[New Jersey]]. The hurricane caused severe damage and 11 deaths.

==Climatological statistics==
Tropical cyclones affect New Jersey the most during the month of September, though the state has experienced tropical cyclones throughout the hurricane season, excluding November. Storms affect the state most in September due to peak warmth in water temperatures. No recorded storm has affected the state between November and May except for Hurricanes Gordon and Nicole in November 1994 and 2022 respectively.<ref name="Buchholz et al."/>

[[File:New England Tropical Cyclone Landfalls 1851-2022.png|thumb|400x400px|Tracks of all tropical cyclones to strike New England from 1851 - 2021.]]
[[File:Bob 1991-08-19 1226Z (alternate).jpg|thumb|312x312px|Hurricane Bob, the most recent tropical cyclone to make landfall in New England at hurricane strength on August 19, 1991]]
A '''New England hurricane''' is a [[tropical cyclone]] originating in the Atlantic Ocean that affects the states of [[Connecticut]], [[Rhode Island]], [[Massachusetts]], [[Vermont]], [[New Hampshire]], or [[Maine]] in the United States. Due to geography and climatology, the vast majority of tropical cyclone strikes to the New England region occur in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and eastern Massachusetts.

Since record keeping began for Atlantic [[tropical cyclone]]s in 1851, there have been approximately 30 tropical cyclones to directly strike New England.<ref>{{Cite web |title=HURDAT2 April 08, 2022 |url=https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/hurdat2.html |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=www.aoml.noaa.gov}}</ref> Due to the location of New England, most tropical cyclones that threaten the region tend to recurve out to sea, mainly due to upper-level steering patterns, such as the [[jet stream]]. Tropical cyclones also tend to weaken upon approach due to the cooler waters above 40 latitude (near southeastern Massachusetts). Thus, [[Tropical cyclogenesis|tropical cyclone formation]] near New England and over the Gulf of Maine is very unfavorable. However, tropical cyclones moving up the East Coast can rapidly approach the Connecticut and Rhode Island coast before the encounter the cooler waters off southeast Massachusetts, and strike far southern New England as a category 3 hurricane. Both Connecticut and Rhode Island have been struck several times by a major hurricane since 1850.

Most commonly, New England will see the remnants or weakening stage of most tropical cyclones that make landfall either along the United States east coast or Gulf coast. This can sometimes lead to excessive rainfall, and in some cases destructive flooding. [[Hurricane Diane]] in 1955 produced over 19 inches of rain in Massachusetts and contributed to the [[1955 Connecticut floods]], one of the worst flooding events in Connecticut's history.<ref>{{Cite web |last=US Department of Commerce |first=NOAA |title=Historic Flood August 1955 |url=https://www.weather.gov/nerfc/hf_august_1955 |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=www.weather.gov |language=EN-US}}</ref> More recently, in 2011, a weakening [[Hurricane Irene]] produced historic flooding in Vermont, causing over $175 million in damage.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schwartz |first=John |date=2011-12-06 |title=Vermont Rebounding Quickly From Hurricane Irene |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/06/us/vermont-rebounding-from-hurricane-irene.html |access-date=2022-11-09 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

The return period for hurricane and major landfalls along the coast of New England is highest in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and declines rapidly north toward Maine. Generally, the return period for hurricane force winds is 12-16 years along the coast of Connecticut and Rhode Island (which is for example higher than the coast of Georgia much farther south), to more than 50 years along the Maine coast.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mets |first=WeatherNation |date=2018-08-21 |title=A Look at the Frequency of a Hurricane Hitting Coastal Locations |url=https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/a-look-at-the-frequency-of-a-hurricane-hitting-coastal-locations/ |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=WeatherNation |language=en-US}}</ref>

Due to the fact that sea surface temperatures from eastern Massachusetts northward are generally too cool to support a major tropical cyclone, the region very rarely sees a [[Saffir–Simpson scale|major hurricane]] landfall (Category 3 or higher). Since 1851, only 3 major hurricanes have ever made landfall on the New England coastline, and all of these were in Connecticut and Rhode Island. The return period for storms of such strength along the southern New England coastline is considered to be 50-70 years, and upwards of 300 years in coastal Maine.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mets |first=WeatherNation |date=2018-08-21 |title=A Look at the Frequency of a Hurricane Hitting Coastal Locations |url=https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/a-look-at-the-frequency-of-a-hurricane-hitting-coastal-locations/ |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=WeatherNation |language=en-US}}</ref> As of 2022, the most recent major hurricane to make landfall in the region was [[Hurricane Carol]] in 1954.

On September 21, 1938, a [[1938 New England hurricane|Category 3 hurricane]] made landfall over New Haven, Connecticut with sustained winds of 115 mph (gusts of 150 mph) and a pressure of 941 millibars. Many coastal towns and cities on the Connecticut and Rhode Island coast suffered extreme damage. The coastal community of Napatree Point, Rhode Island was hit with a 20 - foot storm surge and the day after the cyclone was totally gone (34 killed). The cyclone produced very high wind gusts inland at higher elevations, delivering a 186 mph wind gust to the [[Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory|Blue Hill Observatory]] in Massachusetts, a 163 mph gust atop [[Mount Washington]]. A storm surge of 10-18 feet from [[Long Island Sound]] to [[Narragansett Bay]], it is often considered to be the most intense hurricane to ever strike New England in modern times.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bowman |first=Dennis |title='38 Hurricane was no '100-year storm' |url=https://www.providencejournal.com/story/opinion/2015/09/05/38-hurricane-was-no/33583161007/ |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=The Providence Journal |language=en-US}}</ref> One estimate from Rhode Island stated the water level "reflects a storm occurring roughly once every 400 years. A study of sand deposits also gives more evidence that this was the strongest hurricane to hit Rhode Island in over 300 years, since [[Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635|1635]]."<ref>{{cite news|title='38 Hurricane was no '100-year storm'|last=Bowman|first=Dennis|url=https://www.providencejournal.com/story/opinion/2015/09/05/38-hurricane-was-no/33583161007/|newspaper=[[The Providence Journal]]|date=September 5, 2015|access-date=May 2, 2023}}</ref>

===Pre–17th century===
Multiple intense hurricanes (Category 3+) are noted to have possibly struck New England in [[pre-Columbian]] times: between 1100 and 1150, 1300–1400 (1295–1407), and 1400–1450 (1404–1446), respectively.<ref name="Donnelly2001a">{{cite journal |last=Donnelly |first=Jeffrey P. |year=2001 |title=700 yr Sedimentary Record of Intense Hurricane Landfalls in Southern New England |journal=Geological Society of America Bulletin |volume=113 |issue=6 |pages=714–727 |doi= 10.1130/0016-7606(2001)113<0714:YSROIH>2.0.CO;2|url=http://www.geo.brown.edu/georesearch/esh/QE/Publications/GSAB2001/JDonnelly/Succotash/Succotash.htm |issn=0016-7606 |bibcode = 2001GSAB..113..714D |display-authors=etal}}</ref><ref name="Donnelly2001b">Donnelly, J.

===17th century===
* [[File:Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 track.png|thumb|right|250px|The estimated track and intensity of the [[Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635]]]]August 25, 1635 – The '''[[Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635|Great Colonial Hurricane]]''' struck [[Narragansett Bay]], killing at least 46 people. This hurricane is often considered to be the most intense hurricane to hit New England since its European colonization. The only other storm of a similar magnitude was the 1938 hurricane.<ref name="12Cyc">{{Cite journal |last=Jarvinen |first=Brian R. |title=Storm Tides in Twelve Tropical Cyclones (including Four Intense New England Hurricanes) |publisher=Report for FEMA/National Hurricane Center |year=2006 |url=http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Landsea/12Tides.pdf }}</ref>
* August 23, 1683 – A tropical cyclone hit [[Connecticut]] and caused tremendous flooding.
* October 29, 1693 – Another tropical cyclone struck New England and caused flooding so great that new permanent inlets were created.

===18th century===
* October 18, 1703 – A tropical system caused great wind and flood damage; many ships were lost.
* February 23, 1723 – An off-season storm struck Cape Cod causing a great deal of damage, but no reported deaths.<ref name="a">Snow, Edward Rowe. ''Storms and Shipwrecks of New England''. 2003.</ref>
* October 8, 1747 – Seven ships were destroyed, and "many" perished.
* September 8, 1769 – A hurricane that earlier caused great damage in [[Annapolis, Maryland]]; blew ashore boats at Boston and adjacent areas, Providence, and Newport. Some houses were blown down and destroyed.
* September 1775 – The '''[[1775 Newfoundland hurricane|Newfoundland hurricane]]''' apparently brought strong winds and/or waves to New England, though it is not known to have actually made landfall. This report may also be confused with the Independence Hurricane of September 2–3, 1775, which passed into New England from New York as a tropical depression or weak tropical storm.
* August 13, 1778 – A weakening hurricane that struck [[the Carolinas]], and impacted the coasts of [[Massachusetts]] and [[Rhode Island]] but did not make landfall. This storm prevented a major battle between England and France off the coast of Rhode Island.
* November 1, 1778 – A possible late-season hurricane struck [[Cape Cod]], [[Massachusetts]], killing between 50 and 70 people. Twenty-three of these deaths are believed to be attributed to {{HMS|Somerset III}}, a British ship which ran aground on Cape Cod during this storm.
* October 8–9, 1782 – A hurricane struck the Carolinas and moved up the coast, causing damage in Providence, Rhode Island. It is currently not known if this hurricane made landfall in New England.
* October 18–19, 1782 – A second hurricane moved up the coast and was considered more severe than the previous storm in portions of New England, especially [[Boston]]. This was a rare snow hurricane for New England and the storm was likely transforming into an [[extratropical cyclone]] as it approached the New England states.
* September 24–25, 1785 – A hurricane which made landfall near [[Ocracoke, North Carolina]], impacted southern New England. Based on known observations, this hurricane remained offshore of New England but passed close enough to inflict heavy rain and strong winds to New York City and Boston.
* August 19, 1788 – A weakening hurricane moved up through eastern New York.

===19th century===
* September 12, 1804 – The '''[[1804 Antigua–Charleston hurricane|Antigua–Charleston hurricane]]''', a major storm for the Caribbean, Georgia, and South Carolina, impacted portions of New England as a weakening tropical storm and then a tropical depression before dissipating off the coast of [[Nova Scotia]].
* October 9,<ref name="a"/> 1804 – As the '''[[1804 New England hurricane|Snow hurricane]]''' crossed New England, cool air became entrained in the circulation, and it became extratropical. The storm brought heavy snow across the Northeast, in some areas up to {{convert|2|–|3|ft|cm}}, and killed a total of 16 people; one on land and fifteen at sea. This was the second observation of snow from a landfalling hurricane, but not the last. This hurricane which peaked at Category 3 intensity was a major one, especially for eastern Massachusetts.
* October 3, 1805 – A hurricane that struck [[Matanzas Province|Mantanzas, Cuba]] reportedly reached the [[District of Maine]] (part of Massachusetts until 1820) as a tropical cyclone. Little information is available on this storm, however, a tropical cyclone exclusively striking Maine is not unique. This is what occurred during the passage of both [[Hurricane Gerda]] in 1969 and [[Tropical Storm Heidi (1971)|Tropical Storm Heidi]] in 1971.
* September 1815 – What was [[1815 North Carolina hurricane|once a major hurricane]] in the Carolinas brought tropical-storm-force winds to portions of New England. The likely track of this cyclone takes it very near but offshore of [[Nantucket]].

[[File:Great Storm of 1815 engraving.jpg|thumb|right|250px|An artist's depiction of the [[1815 New England hurricane]] in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]]]
* September 23–24, 1815 – The '''[[1815 New England hurricane]]''' struck New England as a major hurricane and delivered an {{convert|11|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} [[storm surge]] that funneled up [[Narragansett Bay]]. The hurricane destroyed some 500 houses and 35 ships and flooded [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. It also caused at least 38 deaths throughout New England.
* August 12, 1817 – A hurricane that was first reported near [[Trinidad and Tobago|Tobago]] made landfall on the Florida panhandle and moved slowly up the coast. As either a weak tropical storm or tropical depression, the system brought rain to New York and portions of New England on the 12th before moving into Quebec.
* September 4, 1821 – The '''[[1821 Norfolk and Long Island hurricane|Norfolk and Long Island hurricane]]''' was a very powerful tropical cyclone that made landfall within the modern day limits of New York City. It sliced through New England and was likely extratropical as it moved along the Maine coastline.
* June 4–5, 1825 – An early-season hurricane formed in late May near [[Santo Domingo]] and later struck [[Cuba]], [[Florida]], and [[South Carolina]] before moving up the Mid-Atlantic coast and into New England. Hurricane conditions were reported as far north as New York City, and the cyclone's status as a tropical cyclone in New England is debatable given the early date.
* August 27, 1827 – The St. Kitts Hurricane impacted the eastern seaboard from [[Wilmington, North Carolina]], to [[Portsmouth, New Hampshire]]. It is possible that this cyclone made landfall along the United States, but there are also conflicting reports that say it remained offshore of [[Cape Hatteras]], [[Delaware]], and Nantucket. August 1827 was a very active month with at least four hurricanes impacting the North Atlantic.
* August 1830 – Two hurricanes passed close to southeastern Massachusetts within a week of each other. First came the Atlantic Coast Hurricane on August 19 followed by a second hurricane around the 25th. Damage from these two systems was duly noted on [[Nantucket]]. It appears that the later system approached the region from the southeast before turning out to sea southeast of Cape Cod.
* October 11, 1830 – A third hurricane impacted New England in 1830 but like the two in August, this cyclone did not make landfall in New England. [[Barnstable, Massachusetts]], reported the storm.
* July 19, 1835 – The remnants of a hurricane that struck Florida twice moved into northern New England from New York.
* August 30, 1839 – A hurricane moved up the east coast but did not make landfall. Fringe effects were felt on Long Island and southeastern New England.
* October 3, 1841 – The '''[[October Gale of 1841|October Gale]]''' became an extratropical storm, and passed off the coast of New England. The system dropped snow and sleet in Connecticut, bringing up to {{convert|18|in|cm}} of snow in some areas.<ref>{{cite book |title=Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones |author=David Longshore |publisher=Infobase Publishing |year=2010 |isbn=9781438118796 }}</ref> The storm wrecked the [[Georges Bank]] fishing fleet which drowned 81 fishermen and knocked down trees, tore roofs off houses and forced boats to go up on shore. The storm also destroyed a saltworks factory along [[Cape Cod]], sending the economy to a slump. In 1842, a monument was erected to remember the sailors and fishermen lost at sea.
* October 14, 1846 – The '''[[1846 Havana hurricane|Great Havana Hurricane]]''' was still a strong tropical cyclone when it passed into New England from New York. In [[Hartford, Connecticut]], hurricane-force winds destroyed a trestle bridge. Numerous apple orchards in Massachusetts were reported ruined. No deaths due to the hurricane's passage over New England were reported.
* October 6, 1849 – A [[1849 New England hurricane|tropical cyclone]] made landfall in Massachusetts, causing 143 deaths. This was the first known tropical cyclone known to have made landfall in New England since June 1825.
* 1850 – Three tropical cyclones impacted New England this season. The remnants of a July hurricane in the Carolinas passed into New England. An August hurricane caused damage in its wake through New England but was probably a tropical storm. Finally, a September hurricane passed off the coast causing some damage.
* October 19, 1851 – A [[Tropical Storm Six (1851)|tropical storm]] formed north of the [[Bahamas]] on October 16. It continued northward and reached a peak intensity of {{convert|70|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}. But it weakened to a {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}-storm before making landfall in Rhode Island on the 19th. Later that day it dissipated on the border between Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
* September 16, 1858 – A [[Hurricane Three (1858)|Category 1 hurricane]] made landfall on the Connecticut-Rhode Island border and brought heavy rain to New England before exiting Maine as a tropical storm. It then continued northeast until it dissipated just over the other side of the [[Gulf of St. Lawrence]] on the 17th.
* September 28, 1861 – The '''[[Hurricane Five (1861)|Equinoctial Storm]]''' hit Connecticut as a {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} tropical storm. It then continued east-northeast and dissipated in extreme eastern Maine later that day.

===20th century===
* August 1904 – An [[Hurricane Two (1904)|extratropical storm with hurricane-force winds]] left behind damage in southeastern Massachusetts, especially [[Martha's Vineyard]]. Trees were downed in Providence, Rhode Island, and [[New Bedford, Massachusetts]]. Center moved NE just within the coastline from Carolinas, with its eastern sector intact over ocean. The storm then tracked across Long Island and eastern Rhode Island. Much marine destruction with heavy losses in Buzzards Bay, [[Vineyard Sound]] and Massachusetts Bay.
* July 21, 1916 – A [[Hurricane Three (1916)|Category 1 hurricane]] moved north from open Atlantic, crossing the Buzzards Bay/Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. Hourly wind reports indicated sustained {{convert|50|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} but actual winds were higher than hourly observations. Gusts of {{convert|85|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} recorded in southeast Massachusetts and Cape Cod.
* August 1917 – A [[Tropical Storm Two (1917)|tropical storm]] sank four ships while passing offshore of [[Nantucket, Massachusetts]], killing 41 sailors. The storm later made landfall in [[New Brunswick]] before becoming post-tropical.
* August 1924 – A [[Hurricane Three (1924)|Category 1 hurricane]] with a large center moved over and just east of Cape Cod. It was a severe hurricane in New Bedford and [[Martha's Vineyard]], Massachusetts. New Bedford Newspaper (Mercury) published photo journal of the hurricanes severity. The system is often overlooked, however much material is present to include it as destructive storm. On Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and [[Nantucket]], it is often considered worse than [[1938 New England hurricane|the 1938 hurricane]]. Widespread wind losses to structures were reported. Very heavy tree damage in New Bedford north to Plymouth Massachusetts. The storm was later destructive in Nova Scotia.
* November 3–4, 1927 – The [[Tropical Storm Seven (1927)|remnants of a tropical storm]] spawned torrential rains as it passed over the [[Green Mountains]] in Vermont. The record flooding caused $40 million in damage and killed 84 people in [[Vermont]] and 1 in Rhode Island.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/pr97/nov97/noaa97-r248.html |title=New England Remembers 1927 Flood |author=Chartuk, Bob |date=November 3, 1997 |publisher=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration |access-date=May 7, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100609141455/http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/pr97/nov97/noaa97-r248.html |archive-date=June 9, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The storm ended as snow in the mountains. Note that this flood was unrelated to the 1927 Mississippi Flood.
* September 9, 1934 – A [[Hurricane Seven (1934)|strong tropical storm]] crossed Long Island and lost strength from slow movement as it moved through Connecticut much in a similar manner as [[Hurricane Belle]] of August 1976. Trees downed in Providence, Rhode Island, and New Haven, Conn.
* September 1936 – A [[1936 Mid-Atlantic hurricane|Category 1 hurricane]] moved east-northeast over [[Block Island]] and Nantucket Sounds after moving up East Coast of U.S. north of [[North Carolina]] and Virginia. The storm was destructive in Providence, Rhode Island, and eastern Massachusetts. Boston had {{convert|80|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} winds at 8 a.m. on the 18th as the storm moved east along the south coast of [[Cape Cod and the Islands]]. There was much media coverage, but this storm was later eclipsed by the extreme hurricane two years later. Heavy wind-damage was realized across all of eastern Massachusetts.

[[File:GHo1938damage.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Damage in coastal Rhode Island following the [[1938 New England hurricane]]]]
* September 21, 1938 – '''[[1938 New England hurricane]]''' – This storm made landfall on Long Island and Connecticut as a Category 3 hurricane. Wind gusts reached Category 5 strength in eastern Connecticut, Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts west of Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod. The anemometer at the Blue Hill Observatory registered a peak wind gust of {{convert|186|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} before the instrument broke. The hurricane lost strength as it tracked into interior areas of New England, but it is believed to have been at Category 2 intensity as it crossed into Vermont and at minimal Category 1 intensity as it tracked into [[Quebec]]. The storm killed over 600 people and is considered to be the worst hurricane to strike New England in modern times.
* September 15, 1944 – The '''[[1944 Great Atlantic hurricane|Great Atlantic Hurricane]]''' made landfall near the Connecticut/Rhode Island border as a Category 1 hurricane, causing severe wind damage in southeastern Massachusetts and across the Cape and Islands. Damage on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard was considered worse than that in 1938, with severe wind damage in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Much structural damage and much of the forest that had somehow escaped being decimated in 1938 fell victim to this storm. A total of 28 people died in New England due to the hurricane.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cotterly|first1=Wayne|title=Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944|url=http://www.pivot.net/~cotterly/1944.htm|access-date=July 19, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914070934/http://www.pivot.net/~cotterly/1944.htm|archive-date=September 14, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* September 1950 – '''[[Hurricane Dog (1950)|Hurricane Dog]]''' was a major offshore hurricane that moved very close to Nantucket. Hurricane conditions occurred across southeast Massachusetts. Winds gusted near hurricane force on Nantucket and along the New England coast.
* September 7, 1953 – '''[[Hurricane Carol (1953)|Hurricane Carol]]''' made landfall near [[Saint John, New Brunswick]], Canada, with considerable wind losses throughout the region. This hurricane was eclipsed by the extreme damage of another Carol the very next year.

[[File:Carol in Rhode Island.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The [[Edgewood Yacht Club]] in Rhode Island during [[Hurricane Carol]] in 1954]]
* August 31, 1954 – '''[[Hurricane Carol]]''' made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane, in eastern Connecticut, southern Rhode Island, and south-coastal Massachusetts in the [[Buzzards Bay]] area, west of Cape Cod. Wind gusts of {{convert|135|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} at [[Block Island, Rhode Island]], and 115- mph at [[TF Green Airport]] in [[Warwick, Rhode Island]] were reported. Although at elevation, winds of {{convert|125|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in [[Milton, Massachusetts]], were recorded. At least 68 people were killed across New England. Extreme damage was reported in southeast Connecticut, south coastal Rhode Island and south coastal Massachusetts. Storm surge damage along the Rhode Island ocean front was severe, with many homes and buildings swept away. Damage in the Buzzards Bay region rivaled that of the 1938 hurricane. In Groton Long Point, CT, 90% of the homes were damaged or destroyed. A barometric pressure of 956 mb (28.26 in) in [[Groton, Connecticut]] where the eye crossed the coastline.
* September 11, 1954 – '''[[Hurricane Edna]]''' made landfall on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard as a strong Category 2 hurricane, just two weeks after Carol, with very severe losses occurring. Hourly wind readings of {{convert|90|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} were recorded at New Bedford Airport in New Bedford, Massachusetts; {{convert|100|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in [[Taunton, Massachusetts]], {{convert|112|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in Milton, Massachusetts, and {{convert|125|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in Chilmark, [[Martha's Vineyard]].

* September 12–13, 1960 – '''[[Hurricane Donna]]''' makes landfall on Long Island, New York as a minimal Category 2 hurricane, and in Connecticut as a strong Category 1 hurricane. Peak wind gusts of {{convert|140|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} at the [[Blue Hill Observatory]] in Massachusetts and {{convert|135|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} on Block Island, Rhode Island. Hourly peak wind gusts at New Bedford Airport in Massachusetts recorded {{convert|110|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} winds from the south-southwest in a sheltered area. Heavy tree, utility, and structural damage was observed in southeastern Massachusetts, coastal New Hampshire and Maine. Donna was the sixth hurricane to hit southern New England in thirty years. Hourly wind speed readings at City Hall in downtown New Bedford, Massachusetts recorded {{convert|80|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} winds.
* September 26, 1961 – '''[[Hurricane Esther]]''' moved within 35 miles of the south coast of Rhode Island and Massachusetts as a Category 1 hurricane, before subsequently making a sharp right turn and then making a loop, returning as a tropical storm five days later. Esther remained offshore, but produced hurricane-force wind-gusts from Block Island, Rhode Island, eastward across Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard. There was less damage than in Hurricane Donna one year prior. Wind gusts of {{convert|75|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|90|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} occurred onshore.
* October 7–8, 1962 – '''[[Hurricane Daisy (1962)|Hurricane Daisy]]''' remained offshore, but produced hurricane conditions in coastal northeastern Maine and on [[Mt. Desert Island]].
* October 29, 1963 – '''[[Hurricane Ginny]]''' remained offshore, but produced hurricane conditions in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and along coastal northeastern Maine.
* September 8–11, 1969  – '''[[Hurricane Gerda]]''' brushed [[Cape Cod]] and made landfall at [[Eastport, Maine]]. No people were killed, though the storm was one of the strongest to hit [[Maine]].
* August 28, 1971 – '''[[Tropical Storm Doria]]''' moved into Connecticut after crossing Long Island. Hurricane-force winds were measured at sea level in [[Bridgeport, Connecticut]]. Wind gusts up to {{convert|80|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in southeastern Massachusetts and Blue Hill Observatory.
* September 3, 1972 – '''[[Tropical Storm Carrie (1972)|Tropical Storm Carrie]]''' passed offshore of Cape Cod as a tropical storm, producing hurricane-force wind gusts of {{convert|90|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and {{convert|100|mi/h|km/h|-1|abbr=on}} in [[Hyannis, Massachusetts]].
* August 10, 1976 – '''[[Hurricane Belle]]'s''' rather slow movement enabled weakening to set in as the storm approached Long Island, New York, and then moved into Connecticut and Massachusetts, before transversing the Vermont/New Hampshire border. Wind gusts up to {{convert|92|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} at the National Weather Service office in Bridgeport, Connecticut, {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in Providence, Rhode Island, and {{convert|75|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in Newport, Rhode Island.[[File:Gloria 1985-09-27 1550Z.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Hurricane Gloria approaching New England on September 27,1985.]]
* September 27, 1985 – '''[[Hurricane Gloria]]''' crosses Long Island and Connecticut as a Category 1 hurricane, making it the first hurricane of significant strength to hit southern New England since 1960. Widespread wind damage was reported in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and parts of Massachusetts, and later across coastal New Hampshire and Maine. The tree damage in Connecticut was the worst since the 1938 hurricane. The National Weather Service office in [[Bridgeport, Connecticut]] reported wind gusts to 90 mph, while New Bedford, Massachusetts, reported wind gusts over {{convert|90|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}, and in [[Rehoboth, Massachusetts]], police barracks observed {{convert|120|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} winds and also later reported a tornado in the vicinity. Winds at the [[T. F. Green Airport]] in [[Warwick, Rhode Island]], gusted to {{convert|85|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}, and winds of {{convert|100|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} were recorded on east side of Providence, near [[Brown University]]. Widespread forest damage occurred in Maine. Gloria also produced hurricane-force wind-gusts into New Brunswick, Canada.

[[File:Hurricane bob 1991.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Hurricane Bob]] approaching New England on August 19, 1991]]
* August 19, 1991 – '''[[Hurricane Bob]]''' made landfall on Block Island, Rhode Island, and Newport, Rhode Island, as a Category 2 hurricane. Winds gusted to Category 3 strength in southeastern Massachusetts. Bob was one of the smallest in area and yet most intense hurricanes to hit southern New England since 1938. Storm surge in the Buzzards Bay area of Massachusetts was comparable to that of Hurricane Carol; Bob was considered to be the worst storm on Martha's Vineyard since the 1944 hurricane. This hurricane was among the top twenty-five costliest U.S. hurricanes of twentieth century. The 1938 and 1944 hurricanes, as well as Carol in 1954, Donna in 1960, and Bob in 1991, are all on the list. A tidal surge of {{convert|10|ft|m}} above normal was recorded in upper reaches of Buzzards Bay. A wind gust of {{convert|135|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} was recorded at Block Island before the anemometer blew away. A {{convert|125|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}h wind-gust was recorded in Newport, Rhode Island, and a 5-minute sustained wind speed of {{convert|111|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} with gusts to {{convert|144|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} was observed at Westport Harbour on the south coastal border of southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Additional wind recordings include a {{convert|120|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} gust at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy on Buzzards Bay and a {{convert|120|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} gust in [[Truro, Massachusetts]]. A one-minute sustained wind speed of {{convert|110|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} was recorded on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts. Several private anemometers in [[Falmouth, Massachusetts]], on Cape Cod reported unofficial gusts of {{convert|150|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}. A New Bedford fishing boat off Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts, reported a peak gust of {{convert|162|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.
* October 30 – November 1, 1991 – The '''[[1991 Perfect Storm|Perfect Storm]]''' remained offshore, but produced wind gusts to {{convert|77|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} over Cape Cod, and as far west as [[Jamestown, Rhode Island]]. Coastal damage was very high in exposed eastern Massachusetts due to high waves and tidal surge. Minor wind damage came just two months after Hurricane Bob, which produced major damage over southeast Massachusetts.
* August 28, 1992 – The remnants of '''[[Hurricane Andrew]]''' combined with a frontal boundary, and moved from the Mid-Atlantic states into New England. The system dropped light rain and produced light wind across the region.
* September 26, 1992 – The remnants of '''[[Tropical Storm Danielle (1992)|Tropical Storm Danielle]]''' moved just west of New England, but caused rainy conditions throughout the region.
* July 13, 1996 – '''[[Hurricane Bertha (1996)|Tropical Storm Bertha]]''' moved into southern New England as a strong tropical storm with {{convert|70|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} sustained winds, and in some exposed areas, winds gusted to minimal hurricane force in southern Rhode Island and south coastal Massachusetts, west of Buzzards Bay. Overall, Bertha produced minor damage, but notable damage in coastal Rhode Island.
* September 2, 1996 – '''[[Hurricane Edouard (1996)|Hurricane Edouard]]''' passed offshore as a Category 1 hurricane, producing strong wind-gusts from Buzzards Bay eastward across Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. On Cape Cod, Edouard was a worse storm than Gloria in 1985, but not so destructive as Bob in 1991, which has become a benchmark hurricane on Cape Cod. Considerable losses occurred across Massachusetts, particularly in Oak Bluffs and Martha's Vineyard.
* October 8, 1996 – The remnants of '''[[Tropical Storm Josephine (1996)|Tropical Storm Josephine]]''' brushed [[Cape Cod]], dropping widespread light rain and wind gusts of {{convert|45|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|60|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in New Bedford, Massachusetts.<ref name="New Eng"/>

* September 17–18, 1999 – After paralleling much of the [[U.S. East Coast]], '''[[Hurricane Floyd|Tropical Storm Floyd]]''' moved into Connecticut and tracked northward through Maine. Floyd caused large power-outages and major flood damage across the region, with over {{convert|5|in|cm}} of rain falling over most of the area. [[Danbury, Connecticut]], received up to {{convert|15|in|mm}} of rain from the storm, resulting in extensive flooding in the city and surrounding areas. Mudslides were reported in the [[Berkshire Mountains]] of western [[Massachusetts]]. Several major highways and a countless number of local roads in Connecticut and Massachusetts were closed for several days due to flooding and downed trees and power lines. Hurricane-force wind gusts were observed in southern Rhode Island; North Kingston unofficially reported wind gusts to {{convert|90|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}}. Wind gusts to {{convert|76|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} were recorded at the New Bedford Hurricane Dike in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and {{convert|73|mi/h|km/h|0|abbr=on}} in [[Hyannis, Massachusetts]].

==Landfalls==
A [[landfall]] in New England occurs only if the center of the storm comes ashore in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or Connecticut as they all share a coastline. Tropical cyclones that made landfall outside of New England, but subsequently passed through the region, are excluded from this category. For example, the [[1893 New York hurricane]], [[Tropical Storm Doria]] of [[1971 Atlantic hurricane season|1971]], and [[Hurricane Irene]] of [[2011 Atlantic hurricane season|2011]] all made landfall in New York City, but failed to cross [[Long Island Sound]] and enter Connecticut along its coastline. In addition, other systems such as the [[1876 San Felipe hurricane]], [[1888 Louisiana hurricane]], [[1893 Sea Islands hurricane]], and [[Hurricane Able (1952)|Hurricane Able]] of [[1952 Atlantic hurricane season|1952]] all passed through New York, to the north of New York City, before entering New England.

A landfall is also distinct from a ''direct hit'', in which the [[Eye (cyclone)|eyewall]], or core of the highest winds, comes onshore, without the center of the storm moving ashore.<ref>[[National Hurricane Center]] (2009). [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml Glossary of NHC Terms: Direct Hit.] Retrieved on February 5, 2009.</ref>

New England hurricanes have made landfall on many occasions. Normally, due to cold [[Sea surface temperature|SST]]s and high [[wind shear]], hurricanes do not last long, so the ones that do make landfall are normally weak, with major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) being rare.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.geo.brown.edu/georesearch/esh/QE/Research/CoastStd/NEHurric.htm| title = New England Hurricanes | publisher = www.geo.brown.edu | access-date =May 7, 2009}}</ref>

The following tables are a list of all tropical cyclones that have made landfall in New England since records began in 1851:

===19th century===
The 19th century saw a few notable storms. In 1869 an intense Category 3 hurricane struck Southeastern New England. Other hurricanes that made landfall include the Equinoctial Storm, Expedition hurricane, and the Saxby Gale. Since hurricanes were not named and fewer records were kept at the time, the information on some of the storms remains incomplete.

<onlyinclude>
There have been 115 [[Atlantic hurricane|hurricanes or tropical storms]] that affected the U.S. state of [[New Jersey]].</onlyinclude> Due to its location, few hurricanes have hit the state directly, though numerous hurricanes have passed near or through New Jersey in its history. About every 10 years, hurricanes approach the coastline close enough to send waves over barrier islands' dunes and into back bays. According to an estimate by meteorologist George Prouflis, the chances for a direct hit by a hurricane on the Jersey Shore each year is 1 in 200.<ref name="Buchholz et al.">{{cite book|last=Buchholz|first=Margaret|author2=Larry Savadove |year=1993|title=Great Storms of the Jersey Shore|publisher=Down the Shore Publishing|isbn=0-945582-51-X}}</ref>

New Jersey has seen the remnants of several once-powerful hurricanes, some resulting in heavy damage. Nine storms dropped over {{convert|10|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rainfall in the state, including a hurricane in 1940 that interacted with a [[cold front]] and dropped {{convert|24|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rainfall in [[Ewan, New Jersey|Ewan]]. Numerous hurricanes that remained offshore have each drowned small numbers of swimmers.

==List of tropical cyclones==
Most of the following are tropical cyclones that passed through the state after weakening from their peak.

===Pre–1900===
In the 19th century, two hurricanes struck the coastline, each in 1804 and in 1821; both caused minor damage. The most significant storm of the century was the [[Gale of 1878]], which produced hurricane-force winds across western [[New Jersey]]. The hurricane caused severe damage and 11 deaths.

==Climatological statistics==
Tropical cyclones affect New Jersey the most during the month of September, though the state has experienced tropical cyclones throughout the hurricane season, excluding November. Storms affect the state most in September due to peak warmth in water temperatures. No recorded storm has affected the state between November and May except for Hurricanes Gordon and Nicole in November 1994 and 2022 respectively.<ref name="Buchholz et al."/>

Weather conditions led to the cyclone's intensification, and it became a hurricane early on September 25. More pronounced and [[rapid intensification]] ensued as Helene traversed the [[Gulf of Mexico]] the following day, reaching Category 4 intensity on the evening of September 26. Late on September 26, Helene made [[landfall]] at peak intensity in the Big Bend region of Florida, near the city of [[Perry, Florida|Perry]], with [[maximum sustained wind]]s of 140 mph (220 km/h). Helene weakened as it moved quickly inland before degenerating to a [[post-tropical cyclone]] over [[Tennessee]] on September 27. The storm then stalled over the state before dissipating on September 29.

In advance of Helene's expected landfall, [[state of emergency|states of emergency]] were declared in [[Florida]] and [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] due to the significant impacts expected, including very high [[storm surge]] along the coast and hurricane-force gusts as far inland as [[Atlanta]]. [[Tropical cyclone warnings and watches|Hurricane warnings]] also extended further inland due to Helene's fast motion. The storm caused catastrophic rainfall-triggered [[flooding]], particularly in [[western North Carolina]], [[East Tennessee]], and [[Southwest Virginia|southwestern Virginia]], and spawned numerous [[tornado]]es. Helene also inundated [[Tampa Bay]], breaking [[storm surge]] records throughout the area. As of October 30, at least 231 deaths, and nearly $89 billion in damage has been attributed to the storm.

==2024–25 WikiProject Weather Good Article Reassessment ==
{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|1769181847}}
I would like to announce that a new task force has been created to re-examine the status of every GA in the project. Many good articles have not been reviewed in quite a while (15+ years for some) and notability requirements have changed quite a bit over the years. The goal of this task force is to save as many articles as possible. Anyone not reviewing an article may jump in to help get it up to par if it does not meet the GA requirements. The process will start officially on February 1 and will continue until every article has been checked and either kept or delisted. The task force may be found at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/2024–25 Good Article Reassessment]].

== Regenerating Storms ==

I'm proposing that {{tlx|Infobox tropical cyclone}} be modified to have formed1, dissipated1, formed2, dissipated2, and formed3, dissipated3. It'd be rendered as "Formed", "First dissipation", "Reformed", or something like that. The idea is to better show the durations of storms that regenerated, like [[Hurricane John (2024)|John]]. What do we think of this idea? [[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 07:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
:I can see it working in the NHC areas where regeneration happens all the time, but not in the non NHC areas where systems are more likely to be carried as a tropical depression etc.[[User:Jason Rees|Jason Rees]] ([[User talk:Jason Rees|talk]]) 17:25, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
:Don't we treat dissipation as being the dissipation of the extratropical cyclone after the fact (as in [[Hurricane Wilma]]) and not when it loses tropical characteristics? John as a disturbance never died. I think the existing infobox is fine, we don't need to address every nuance in the infobox. It is meant to be an at a glance summary. '''[[User:DJ Cane|DJ Cane]]''' ''(he/him)'' ([[User talk:DJ Cane|Talk]]) 18:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
::Not quite. A system retains a low-level cyclonic circulation if it undergoes ETT. John didn't do that–its LLCC completely dissipated and it opened into a trough. That's why its (first) dissipation was declared with a "Remnants of John" and not "Post-tropical Cyclone John" heading.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 19:27, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
:::I still think this is overly detailed for an infobox. That information belongs in the prose. Note that even as a trough, John was still a weather disturbance and the vast majority of people associated the system's impacts with that name. '''[[User:DJ Cane|DJ Cane]]''' ''(he/him)'' ([[User talk:DJ Cane|Talk]]) 13:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
::::Saying it "belongs in the prose" on its own is a non-argument. It is more important to be correct than to be brief, and I would not say the "vast majority" of people associated the intermediate rains with "John". Also, John is just one example. Another is Harvey of 2017. Making data structured this way will also facilitate its import into Wikidata; prose by definition is not machine readable, unlike infoboxes.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 00:09, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
:{{re|Jasper Deng}} Infobox tropical cyclone is no longer used so I assume you meant this for {{tlx|Infobox weather event}}? [[User:Hurricane Noah|Noah]], [[BBA#BSBA|BSBA]][[User talk:Hurricane Noah|Talk]] 19:20, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
::Yes, I mean infobox weather event.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 19:27, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

== New tornado articles and the news ==

I was wondering if it's a good idea to change the project's ideas for notability for new tornado articles that are considered newsworthy. The example I'm immediately going to point to is the [[2024 Greenfield tornado]], which took until 8 July 2024 to exist in mainspace. [[Special:Diff/1226480147|SirMemeGod nominated a previous mainspace article for deletion on 30 May]]: <q>This article was created way too prematurely. See [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 Sulphur tornado]] for a good example of this “too soon” policy.</q>

[[WP:TOOSOON]] is an argument I see all too often when it comes to articles on recent individual tornadoes and I'm getting a little sick of it, especially here. The tornado had already killed 5 and was in the news cycle for its DOW-measured windspeeds of {{cvt|263-271|mph|km/h}}, not the devastation to Greenfield. If BEST (the FARM research project that put the DOW fleet in Iowa that day) wasn't happening in 2024, it wouldn't have an article, but since it was, we had factual evidence that it was much more powerful than its assigned rating. [[WP:RUSHDELETE|Don't rush to delete articles]] is part of WP:DEADLINE, which also applies, as everyone knew that it would get news coverage for its DOW measurements eventually, and sure enough, by 24 June 2024, the DOW team calculated the figure of {{cvt|309-318|mph|km/h}} inside the tornado.

Although Greenfield wasn't as sensationalized as I would have expected, it also did have significant news coverage after it happened. This leads me to my point. If, say, an EF5 tornado moves through a city, and DOW catches 320mph+ wind measurements / calculations / whatever, under the current guidelines, the article is likely to be deleted until well after it occurred. My proposal is to institute a specific set of in-project guidelines for notability so that way a repeat of this situation doesn't occur.

From my understanding, the articles for [[2013 El Reno tornado]] and [[2021 Western Kentucky tornado]] are the best examples of tornadoes that were obviously notable enough for an article. They had a concrete death toll, record-breaking qualities, and were significant in the weather community. [[2023 Rolling Fork-Silver City tornado]] and [[2021 Tri-State tornado]] were both created well after they occurred. If a tornado is in the news cycle, just the one tornado, and it has record-breaking qualities or a high death toll or something else about it, like Greenfield did, then it shouldn't wait to get an article, after the significance is established.

I propose the following guidelines for establishing the notability for articles on recent (i.e. less than 1 month since they occurred) tornadoes to avoid the old WP:TOOSOON deletion arguments and all that. Note that not all of these criteria must be met.

* 1. The tornado causes over 20 deaths. (i.e. [[2021 Western Kentucky tornado]])
* 2. The tornado impacts a smaller-scale location, where significant devastation occurs. (none have happened recently, but think the [[Indiana State Fair stage collapse]] of 2011 if the tornado was confirmed, or the [[1967 Belvidere tornado]] which caused 300 injuries at a school. If the only notable impact is at the location, then the article should be about the impact there, not the tornado itself.)
* 3. The tornado causes a significant amount of damage or devastation in a city of over 25,000. (i.e. [[2011 Joplin tornado]]. The population figure is arbitrary, as is the amount of damage, but Joplin would still have been worthy of its own article before surveys were complete and before the death toll was calculated.)
* 4. The tornado sets a record for path length, path width, or another objective indicator. (i.e. [[2013 El Reno tornado]])
* 5. The tornado has a measured or calculated wind speed of over {{cvt|300|mph|km/h}}. (i.e. [[2024 Greenfield tornado]])
* 6. The tornado is rated EF5, IF5, F5, or equivalent. (i.e. [[2013 Moore tornado]])
* 7. The tornado receives significant news coverage from non-weather and international sources. (i.e. [[2021 South Moravia tornado]]. This is a catch-all clause that can save any tornado article as it is the clearest example of setting notability. However, the articles must be on the individual tornado, not on the parent outbreak.)

Some other notes:

* Any records must be confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt to have been surpassed. Wind speed measurements or calculations should be '''confirmed''' by the agency that produced them, and any calculated figures must be calculated by an expert and not synthesized by Wikipedia editors. ([[WP:SYNTH]])
* The tornado does not need to have a final NCEI event database entry to have its own article.
* Tornadoes rated EF5 or equivalent '''must''' be confirmed by the relevant agency that rates them.

Tornadoes that meet any of these criteria will be spared from [[WP:TOOSOON]] deletions, as they will have clearly shown their notability already. This is assuming, of course, that everything is confirmed by independent coverage; if it is only assumed that the criteria are met, then a TOOSOON AfD can go through.

Some examples of tornadoes that don't quite meet these criteria:

* 1. [[2023 Rolling Fork-Silver City tornado]]. It only caused 17 deaths as a high-end EF4 tornado.
* 2. [[Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023#Belvidere, Illinois]]. I'm referring to the EF1 tornado that caused the collapse at the [[Apollo Theatre (Belvidere, Illinois)|Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois]] that killed one. It falls short of the objective devastation I propose, and doesn't even have its own section.
* 3. [[2023 Little Rock tornado]]. Yes, over 600 injuries were reported in a major city of 200,000, however that number fell steeply to 54, with only one indirect fatality occurring.
* 4. [[Tornado outbreak of December 10–11, 2021|2021 Quad–State tornado]]. If we listened to the initial reports of what would be the Tri-state and Western Kentucky tornadoes, this would have had a path length of 230 miles. While perhaps the Western Kentucky part did set a record, it wasn't the figure of 230 that would have easily beaten the [[1925 Tri–State tornado]].
* 5. [[Tornado outbreak of April 25–28, 2024#Minden–Tennant–Harlan–Defiance, Iowa|2024 Harlan, Iowa tornado]]. Before Greenfield, this was a big news story in the weather community with wind speeds of {{cvt|224|mph|km/h}} calculated at ground level. That's IF4 on the [[International Fujita Scale]] and not quite newsworthy in this context.
* 6. [[Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023#Keota–Wellman, Iowa|2023 Keota, Iowa tornado]]. This had an EF5 DI on the preliminary Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) that Wikipedia editors use so often that was confirmed to have been an error. It was, however, confirmed to have done exactly one point of low-end EF4 damage, which does technically make it violent per the EF scale.
* 7. [[2024 Hollister tornado]]. It was the subject of much local coverage that stated it was "the most powerful tornado of all time" but of course it only did EF1 damage and all we had to go off of was radar. Its parent outbreak doesn't have its own article, and when Trey Greenwood did an analysis he found that it was not the most powerful tornado of all time and indeed probably wouldn't even have been a violent one.

I know this is a lot of text, but these guidelines will help us if an individual tornado gets nominated for ITN (most likely, I'd be the one to put it there), or if it gets enough news coverage that readers would go out of their way to find an article on it specifically, independent of its parent outbreak. Let me know what you think of this proposal. [[User:GeorgeMemulous|GeorgeMemulous]] ([[User talk:GeorgeMemulous|talk]]) 13:57, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

:Summary: I've written a proposal above concerning WP:TOOSOON nominations in WPW space. If agreed to, tornadoes meeting any of the 7 criteria outlined above will be exempt from TOOSOON nominations. However, they still must have reliable sources proving they meet the exemption and can be deleted for other reasons; this is merely a way to have articles about new tornadoes that have a high-impact or newsworthiness, such that they can appear on ITN or elsewhere, where traffic to the individual tornado's article warrants it to be independent of its parent outbreak. This does not affect any existing articles, but will affect any future tornado articles about tornadoes that are created under one month after they occur.

:'''Comment:''' I will formally have a vote later tonight, but I will note that a certain set of articles can't be "exempt" from a rule (with extremely rare cases obviously). TOOSOON is 100% a relevant policy, and a WikiProject can't overrule that. I'm even going to be bold and say that the Greenfield tornado doesn't meet [[WP:LASTING|LASTING]], but that's just my opinion and I won't start a second AfD because I'm not dead-set on deleting a well-written article.

::'''Comment''' This isn't meant to override TOOSOON, rather to better define it within the project space. As it is, one of the main reasons the Greenfield tornado was voted to be deleted was it didn't have an NCEI entry, even though it had plenty of news coverage establishing notability. This proposal is meant to counter that.
::Also, LASTING isn't a formal reason to delete I'd think. Moreso, a reason to keep articles that cause events beyond them to happen. [[User:GeorgeMemulous|GeorgeMemulous]] ([[User talk:GeorgeMemulous|talk]]) 19:11, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
:::LASTING is under [[WP:NEVENT]], a formally-designated policy that can either be used as creation or deletions.

:That really seems like listcruft. For example when I worked on [[List of California tornadoes]], I had a lot of difficulty finding out the costliest tornado in the state. It seems like a random one in 2015, but I wasn't able to find proper sources for that. I mention that because I don't see any sourcing in the list, and that's probably going to be difficult going state by state. I do think there is a need for tornadoes by state, like [[List of Arkansas tornadoes]], more than having a records list. ♫ [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] ([[User_talk:Hurricanehink|talk]]) 15:21, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
::This is mostly so tornadoes that have [[WP:NWEATHER]]'s statewide record get a place, and plus, everything will be verifiable in time. I'm mostly waiting for the NCEI database to come back online. The only part of [[WP:LISTCRUFT]] this might break is the first, that being obscurity, but even then I'm sure there are way more lists that get a pass (cough cough <q>Category:Lists of National Register of Historic Places by county</q> for every single county in the USA, most averaging under one view per day, cough cough).

:::I agree we should have those records, but it's going to be difficult doing every state without having lists for every state. I think you're kind of doing it backwards. If that list was just something like [[List of US tornadoes by state]], I could get behind it. Such a page would have the individual lists for each state, and then could also have a table like this, which would be a useful comparison for, say, the deadliest in each state, or costliest, or strongest, or largest.

== Proposal: Segmented meteorological synopsis / impacts ==

On large articles covering multiple days of weather, such as [[Tornado outbreak sequence of May 19–27, 2024]] and [[Severe weather sequence of July 13–16, 2024]], the 'meteorological synposis' is a section of the article that covers nearly everything in the articles (aside from non-tornadic effects and individual tornadoes) and has far exceeded its role as an explanation of a meteorological setup in most articles of this type. A fictional example below:

{{blockquote|'''Meteorological Synopsis'''}}
{{blockquote|'''May 7 event'''}}
{{blockquote|On May 7, an upper level trough brought high instability values to Oklahoma. Soundings indicated the presence of elevated CAPE and helicity values that would be supportive of severe weather. At 3 pm, the first line of supercells began and a tornado watch was issued. This line progressed eastward and continued organizing, and at 5:12 pm, a tornado warning was issued for Oklahoma city. An intense EF3 tornado moved through the outskirts of the city, injuring 4 and causing significant damage. Further north, severe hail over 3 inches was recorded.}}
{{blockquote|'''May 8 event'''}}
{{blockquote|On May 8, as the system moved eastward into Arkansas, etc.}}

Notice how the first section of it goes into the meteorological setup, the second segment details the evolution of storms, and the third is the impacts that almost never go into the Impacts section due to the way everything's organized. That's why I propose to segment articles not into broad Meteorological synopsis / Impact groups, but rather by day.
For instance, the above fictional article would have a table of contents that reads like:
* Meteorological Synopsis
** May 7 event
** May 8 event
** May 9 event
* Confirmed tornadoes
** Oklahoma City
* Impact
* Non-tornadic effects

Whereas, for my proposal, the article would be organized as:
* May 7
** Meteorological synopsis
** Impacts
*** Oklahoma City
* May 8
** Meteorological synopsis
** Impacts
** Confirmed tornadoes
** Non-tornadic effects
* May 9
** Meteorological synopsis
** Impacts

This will make the article much more cohesive instead of having to jump across the article to find events that happened on the same day but aren't the same type. [[User:GeorgeMemulous|GeorgeMemulous]] ([[User talk:GeorgeMemulous|talk]]) 15:13, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

== Tornadoes ==

Due to (what appears to be) a large amount of tornadoes spawned from the outer bands of Milton, would the tornadoes be necessary to have a separate article once more info comes out?

* With all the points above in mind, I do support the creation of a separate article that covers Milton's tornado outbreak. I really don't think TOOSOON is the case here; the coverage of the tornado outbreak itself is already attracting significant attention with fatalities as a result of it contributing to that (e.g. [https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-tornadoes-florida-deaths-climate-change-oceans-f197c258022c189c6ce8bc59dc88223e Associated Press]). Additionally, the record amount of tornado warnings from a tropical cyclone could also establish notability of the outbreak as well, as aforementioned. There is a draft [[Draft:Hurricane Milton tornado outbreak|here]] – though it'll need substantial updating and improvement. ~ [[User:Tails Wx|'''Tails''']] [[User talk:Tails Wx|'''Wx''']] 13:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

* Voicing my '''strong support''' for the publication of an article as soon as possible. It's been several days since the outbreak, and already some early surveys have been conducted, so TOOSOON no longer applies. This is undoubtedly a major tornado outbreak, possibly one of the largest and most impactful on record associated with a TC (though it would be nice to have an RS to back that up!); several large, violent, deadly, and widely-reported tornadoes struck populated areas, so this passes GNG with flying colors. [[User:ArkHyena|Ark]][[User_talk:ArkHyena|Hyena]] (it/its) 13:56, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

*'''Strong support''' – Similar to the points that have been made before, the scope, deadly nature, and widespread effects swiftly blow out any tropical storm-related tornado outbreak we've covered. Only one I can remember even coming close to this one may be the one related to [[Hurricane Isaias tornado outbreak|Hurricane Isaias]], and this one had many more unfortunate fatalities, as well as injuries. As such, a standalone article is more than warranted, even if only, as of now, in draft format as presented by [[User:Tails Wx|'''Tails''']] [[User talk:Tails Wx|'''Wx''']]. [[User:Mjeims|Mjeims]] ([[User talk:Mjeims|talk]]) 14:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

:'''Support''' There's many tornadoes and there has been multiple fatalities. [[User:SomeoneWiki04|SomeoneWiki04]] ([[User talk:SomeoneWiki04|talk]]) 22:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
:'''Weak oppose/Wait''' while the tornado outbreak did cause some fatalities and damage, I do not believe that is the most notable part of Milton nor the deadliest and would be better off as a Florida subsection. The draft is oh so small for a tornado outbreak of a tropical cyclone and waiting until more information comes out would be the best solution. [[User:Zzzs|ZZZ]][[User talk:Zzzs|'S]] 18:35, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

====Tornado section====
So there definitely is a need for information about the tornadoes in the article, especially since tornado reports are starting to come out now. I think tornadoes should get their own sub-section within Florida, since that's where all of the tornadoes are. Milton's article is only 4,000 words right now, so I don't think a tornado sub-article should be split off yet, but I do think the makings of one can be started within the tornado section. There could be information why there were so many tornadoes - a sting jet I believe? And then since there were so many tornadoes, there could be individual accounts of the tornadoes, but at a certain point I imagine that could get split off. Thoughts? ♫ [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] ([[User_talk:Hurricanehink|talk]]) 00:52, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
:<s>There was over 200 words of disputed content that Got removed. Also, 6 deaths in a tornado outbreak almost always guarentees an article. And with expand section templates, an article is reasonable.

Seeing as the article is only 4,500 words right now, I still don't think there should be a separate tornado sub-article (at least not yet). I moved the Florida impact section around, with the first paragraph being the meteorological impacts (winds/rains/surge). The second paragraph is deaths/injuries. The third paragraph is examples of the individual damage. Then the tornado info is its own section. Hopefully the organization has been improved to make it easier to navigate. ♫ [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] ([[User_talk:Hurricanehink|talk]]) 18:45, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

:<s>It’s actually officially only 3931 words (which ''should'' be over 4200 if my contributions weren’t thrown away.) There is a really bad lack of coverage with this, with too much information focusing on the broad impacts but refusing to discuss specifics. As an example, not a singular source mentions rainfall totals in Orlando or the surrounding area, mentions any impacts in the Jacksonville area, and the only source I found regarding a radio station from NWS Melbourne going down was Twitter, which should generally be avoided. If we had good coverage of this and the tornadoes, a sub article is a no brainer. I did find another piece of information regarding the tornadoes I put in the draft, but for whatever reason, there is a major lack of coverage with this storm.[[User:Crete44|Crete44]] ([[User talk:Crete44|talk]]) 20:32, 15 October 2024 (UTC)</s>strike sock -- [[User:Ponyo|'''Ponyo''']][[User talk:Ponyo|''bons mots'']] 18:32, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

"'''The Message'''" is a song by [[Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five]]. It was released as a single by [[Sugar Hill Records (rap)|Sugar Hill Records]] on July 1, 1982, and was later featured on the group's [[The Message (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five album)|debut studio album of the same name]].

"The Message" was an early prominent [[hip hop]] song to provide social commentary. The song's lyrics describe the stress of inner-city poverty.

=== Music and structure ===
{{Essay-like|section|date=February 2020}} Dan Carins of ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' has described "The Message"'s musical innovation: "Where it was inarguably innovative, was in slowing the beat right down, and opening up space in the instrumentation—the music isn't so much hip-hop as noirish, nightmarish slow-[[funk]], stifling and claustrophobic, with [[electro (music)|electro]], [[Dub music|dub]] and [[disco]] also jostling for room in the genre mix—and thereby letting the lyrics speak loud and clear". Not only does the song utilize an ingenious mix of musical genres to great effect, but it also allows the slow and pulsating beat to take a backseat to the stark and haunting lyrical content.<ref>Cairns, Dan. "1982: Grandmaster Flash: The Message." ''Sunday Times'': 25. Proquest Newsstand. 28 Sep 2008. Web. 1 Apr 2012.</ref>

=== Critical reception ===
In addition to being widely regarded as an all-time rap anthem, "The Message" has been credited by many critics as the song that catapulted [[Master of ceremonies|emcees]] from the background to the forefront of hip hop. The focus was thus shifted from the grandmaster mixing and scratching to the thoughts and lyrics of the emcee. David Hickley wrote in 2004 that "The Message" also crystallized a critical shift within rap itself. It confirmed that emcees, or rappers, had vaulted past the deejays as the stars of the music".<ref>Hinckley, David. "Message from the Bronx the History of Rap in the City." ''New York Daily News'': 67. Proquest Newsstand. 07 Dec 2004. Web. 01 Apr 2012.</ref> In 2022, it was included in the list "The story of ''NME'' in 70 (mostly) seminal songs", at number 20: [[Mark Beaumont (journalist)|Mark Beaumont]] wrote that with this song, "the invigorating grooves of this early breakout rap hit laid the foundations for the [...] hip-hop wars to come".<ref>{{cite web |first=Mark |last=Beaumont |url=https://www.nme.com/features/music-features/story-of-nme-in-70-seminal-songs-3176759 |title=The Story of ''NME'' in 70 (mostly) Seminal Songs |publisher=NME |date=7 March 2022 |access-date=7 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220307110139/https://www.nme.com/features/music-features/story-of-nme-in-70-seminal-songs-3176759 |archive-date=7 March 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
