The Name that Hurricane Thread

[Cyclone1]

New one.

Looks similar to a very ... recent event, eh? *cough*

[MiamiensisWx]

It's TD 9 from 2003.

Edit: This guess applies to Category 5's NRL image.

[Cyclone1]

Someone else post one too.

Start with a guess.

Josephine 1984?

BTW: Mine is not TD 9 from 2003.

[Cyclone1]

Nope.

[Category 5]

Nope.

Am I even close?

[Cyclenall]

Was it really necessary to mark out the lat/lon with the obvious landmass there? XD

Uh, Dennis?

Yes, it was necessary and I'm glad you spotted the landmass that I blacked out.

[Chacor]

He was referring to Cat5's image I think.

[Cyclone1]

Yes I was.

[Category 5]

No guesses?

[Cyclone1]

Cha... wait...

(claudette, 2003, okay...)

Chantal 2001 ?

[Category 5]

nope.

[Cyclone1]

I'm beginning to get the suspicion that... this game may be coming to an end.

[Chacor]

After 42 pages. Who's writing the eulogy?

[Category 5]

I'll bookmark it in case we want to bring it back.

On September 29, 2007, the thread was created. Advisories from years past were posted, and users from around the world competed to guess the hurricane that the advisory was written on. Soon, a young user named Cyclone1 posted an image of Tropical Storm Gordon over Florida, and the craze went from advisories, to images. The thread saw it's high points, when storms were guessed almost immediately and the everyone had a blast, and it's low points, like when Hurricane Eloise stumped users for 3 or 4 pages. After 42 pages, the Name that Hurricane Thread has finally reached an end, with two storms having remained unguessed.

Until the off-season syndrome kicks in, this is the end of the Name that Hurricane Thread.

Winner: Category5

And also it should be noted that this is the longest thread, i.e., most pages, in Storm2k O/T history if I'm not mistaken.

That's quite an achievement.

I gave up early on because I had no clue about most of the questions. LOL.

Well done all.

We haven't seen the last of this, I will bring it back one day.

And also it should be noted that this is the longest thread, i.e., most pages, in Storm2k O/T history if I'm not mistaken.

Not even close, the longest was around 320 pages by one of those Texas news threads somwhere around early summer 2006.

Let's make a note to bring this thread back in 2008, (starting with the two current storms), but not until 2008. Let the fun build back up a bit.

Well, until that point, Let's let this thread slowly drift into the history pages.

Until 2008...
