I'm not sure about it, but I would recommend taking off the (2008) now. It is rapidly intensifying; it is very likely it will reach major hurricane strength before striking Grand Cayman.

Paloma has a great potential to cause severe damage, and although hurricane-force winds only extend outward 25 miles, TS force winds extend out 120 miles, and it is only moving at 6 mph, so flood potential is high. I highly expect Paloma will do severe damage. [[Special:Contributions/99.52.153.15|99.52.153.15]] ([[User talk:99.52.153.15|talk]]) 21:29, 7 November 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 21:29, 7 November 2008
Merge?
There's two lines, copied verbatim from the season article. Does anyone object to a merge for now? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 14:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well to be honest.. i think whoever created this article was out of order as I was creating it. Also I have updated it a bit. User:Itfc+canes=me Talk Contributions 17:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think it was out of order. He probably didn't know you were making it. I fully think it should stay, given how we'll certainly need it in the next few days. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Definite keep. The storm is developing an eye and is likely to become a hurricane, possible major within a few days. Also, landfall is unavoidable. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- It's worth keeping now that it's been expanded. At the time of my first post, the article was barely a stub. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:29, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

(2008)?
Is it possible we could make this article the main article? Paloma could be a very dangerous storm, so is it possible we could take the (2008) off this storm? 99.52.154.156 (talk) 22:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- The key word is Could. Unless there is sufficient evidence of severe damage, numerous fatalities, or the name is retired, it remains (2008). Project standards incase you were wondering the reasoning behind this answer. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:08, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if it's too early; I was just putting this up because the official NHC forecast calls for Paloma to become a 105 mph category 2 hurricane, and it is forecast to directly hit Grand Cayman Island at that strength, not to mention it is expected to hold that strength through it's landfall in Cuba as well. I guess you are right now, though; we should wait until we get damage reports out from this storm. 99.52.154.156 (talk) 22:29, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Since there is no other Paloma, Hurricane Paloma would redirect here no matter what. But leave the 2008 until the destruction is clear (if it does get destructive). There is lots of shear ahead of it though. CrazyC83 (talk) 23:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Wait untill next May when the WMO &/or the NHC confirms which names are retired from this basinJason Rees (talk) 00:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I wouldn't go with that. Hurricanes Gustav and Ike don't have the (2008) with them, but those 2 hurricanes are guranteed retirement after this year essentially. Just because shear is ahead of Paloma doesn't mean it will weaken. Hurricane Omar earlier this year was sheared by a Cold Front, but it strengthened into a category 3 storm while being sheared on the way. Hurricane Ike remained a 100 mph hurricane across it's trek through the Gulf Of Mexico, but when a front approached, it quickly strengthened into a 110 mph cat 2 before landfall because the front penetrated dry air in front of it, giving it some time to strengthen before weakening. We should wait for now though. Hurricane Omar doesn't have the main article although it is the one and only Omar because damage wasn't severe and it isn't likely it will be retired. If Paloma causes enough damage to get our attention, we will give it the main article; it most recently became a hurricane, or is expected to do so soon. 99.52.154.156 (talk) 00:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Omar was sheared right after reaching its peak intensity. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 00:39, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I meant before it weakened it quickly strengthened. Paloma could be a very signifigant storm, but we are not sure yet. It is still forecast to be a category 2 when it affects Grand Cayman. We should wait before discussing about it having the main article. No damage or deaths have been reported yet, so we shouldn't discuss now; we can talk about it tommorow night at this time. 99.52.154.156 (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Also, why is the (2008) taken off in the article? Paloma does not deserve the main article yet, even though it's the only Paloma. Why has the (2008) been taken off? 99.52.154.156 (talk) 10:55, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Paloma has a great potential to cause severe damage, and although hurricane-force winds only extend outward 25 miles, TS force winds extend out 120 miles, and it is only moving at 6 mph, so flood potential is high.

Hurricane winds
How far do hurricane winds extend out from Paloma's center? It was upgraded to a hurricane, so how far do those winds extend out? 99.52.154.156 (talk) 01:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- As of the 7pm adv. they're right around the center of the storm, no exact distance. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 01:29, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
