Adding in TD 8E content

Per the discussion on the project page, I have added initial information pertaining to 8E into this page. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:39, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I have a question, and that question is why is Hurricane Ernesto not being referred to as Hurricane Ernesto-Hector? I thought that crossover storms always had merged names? Is it just because people wait for the EPAC storm to completely dissipate before renaming it? Please help! 24.18.210.113 (talk) 15:47, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we don't have conclusive evidence that Hector is a direct continuation of Ernesto, like we had for Hurricane Cesar-Douglas. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:52, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously why cant it be moved? These storms are really rare so people would most likely call it Ernesto-Hector.Lets move this article. I mean if they are not really direct then why did'nt we split Cesar-douglas and Irene-olivia into their own articles? 76.124.224.179 (talk) 00:10, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Hector isn't a direct continuation. Ernesto dissipated and Hector formed a day later. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:13, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And to add to that, Ernesto combined with a separate wave to form Hector. So, as Hink said, it is not direct. United States Man (talk) 01:22, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NHC's track makes it look at direct as possible. One storm track begins exactly where the other ends, much like 11E/Hermine in 2010. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:58, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can tell from the ATCF, the two tracks begin and end at different points and times, implying that they remained separate. I'm not sure if you're looking at something different than me though (Ernesto ATCF Hector ATCF). Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was using their real-time track. You could also use their TWOs to make the case. It was the only cloud pattern in the area. I'd hold off on a separate Hector article (or a hyphenated name article for that matter) until the TCRs are issued. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:55, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still, it was the low pressure of Ernesto which manage to make it to the ESPAC. If it was only the tropical wave, i bet Hector would never had developed.-- ✯Earth100✯ ☉‿☉^Talk_Contribs 13:41, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical cyclone report for Ernesto was released today, 6 December, 2012. Tropical cyclone report

Todo before GAN

More impact. It's too short for a storm that caused nearly $250 million in damage. Namely, Jamaica and Mexico could be longer. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:18, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Combine

Now that the Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane Ernesto and Tropical Storm Hector are out, would it be a good idea to merge the two articles? The TCR for Hector clearly states the storm formed from the remnants of Ernesto. I see there was a discussion on this earlier, and it seemed to be leaning to 'merge the articles', but the TCRs weren't out yet. Thoughts?

Two issues. First, Hector doesn't have an article, and second, the track wasn't continuous. It's similar to Earl 04 or Iris 01 contributing to EPAC storms. Ernesto's article could mention Hector, but this is about the Atlantic tropical cyclone that dissipated over Mexico. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:27, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that first one is probably an issue. XD Should've checked first...just looked at the above discussion and assumed. Okay, thanks for the response. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 20:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
