Talk:2004 Pacific hurricane season

Waiting

I'm going to have to wait for the end-of-year summaries to really flesh out this article. This basin just doesn't get the attention (and rightly so) that the Atlantic does. --Golbez 05:26, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

I'm waiting for a freak hurricane to slam into Los Angeles or San Diego. That'd get some attention. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:49, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's extremely unlikely that a hurricane would survive the crossing over the cold waters of the Pacific Current. However, in 1997, Hurricane Nora crossed over the Baja California peninsula, and into the Gulf of California, hitting the mouth of the Colorado River and traveling northward along it (the California/Arizona border), and hitting Yuma (well inland) as a tropical storm. Even after being downgraded to a depression, it downed hundreds of trees in southern Utah up around 10,000 feet (3000m) elevation (AMSL), because the top of the storm is going faster to begin with, and also spins down much more slowly because of the lack of friction with the land below.   –radiojon 00:45, 2004 Oct 13 (UTC)

A tropical storm made landfall in the Long Beach area on September 25, 1939. It killed 45 people. [1]

Events

I moved the events section to its own article. I agree with Tom, once the season is over, the events section is better off on its own page.

Need more storms

Back when I created this page, I was the only one doing most of the work, so I only noted, well, notable storms. The other Pacific articles, however, now have blurbs on every storm, making this article very deficient. Does anyone want to flesh it out? --Golbez 21:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I will try to add tid-bits about the other storms...I also have some good pictures to use. Weatherman90 00:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Three months later and still nothin... --Golbez 15:56, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

It needs at least a one sentence description of every storm to be a start.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

• "The 2004 Pacific hurricane season was notable in that no tropical cyclone of at least tropical storm intensity affected land, an unusual occurrence." I have a couple problems with this. First, please avoid using terms like "notable"; see WP:PUFFERY. Second of all, technically speaking, this isn't true. Javier, Lester, Howard all affected land. I think you really mean "struck", which has a different meaning (occurs when tropical storm/hurricane-force winds are recorded over a given area). Hopefully this suffixes "The 2004 Pacific hurricane season saw no tropical cyclones strike land at tropical storm intensity or greater." YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:03, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

• In the season effects table, change "California, Arizona" to "Western United States" for some consistency and change "Baja California" to "Baja California Peninsula"? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:15, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Changed. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 05:49, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

The writing is good, but there's a bunch of links needed for jagron and some stuff missing from the summary/predictions. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:15, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

I'll address the rest of these comments this weekend. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 05:49, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Hurricane Isis

Should Isis get an article because it was retired? Mitch199811 (talk) 19:18, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

No because Isis was retired for political reasons after the 2010 Season, rather than because of the 2004 system. It is also worth noting that the system was your classic fish spinner.Jason Rees (talk) 19:25, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

While the storm did do some notable things, this article is quite small and I believe the entire story could be told in the season section. Noah, AA^Talk 14:39, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

• Support - short article that can easily fit into the season section. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
• Support merge – the full story of this storm can be well told within the season article. Drdpw (talk) 18:42, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Support per above. ~ Sandy14156 (Talk ✉️) 21:01, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Nothing important or interesting happened with this tropical depression. No casualties and damages were reported, and it's not meteorologically significant. The content in this article can easily be summarised in the 2004 Pacific hurricane season and the size is significantly under 10,000 bytes. I couldn't find any academic research papers or journals on it. There was a merge proposal on the tropical depression's talk page, but it was indefinitely paused due to a moratorium. --_ZZ^Z'S 19:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Support, doesn't appear to be any damage. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:50, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Support - Yeah I knew this would be coming eventually. The impact section (and the article as a whole) is so short and since there's no fatalities and damages, merging it is justified. ~ Sandy14156 (Talk ✉️) 18:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
