Editing Talk:Tropical Storm Alma (section)

==Alma is not the first tropical cyclone, let alone the first TS, to strike Central America from the Pacific side==
At the very least, [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tracks1851to2007_atl_reanal.txt storm 10 of 1949 did so].  Paul in 1982 did so as a TD in southern Mexico, depending on where you think Central America lies.  There are others that have as well.  The mistake surprises me.  Some of the issue might lie in the fact that Atlantic Storm 10 of 1949 (which apparently killed 40000 people and appears to be the most deadly tropical cyclone impact in the history of the western hemisphere) is not listed in the eastern Pacific database.  I've e-mailed Eric Blake about it, since he's also involved in the reanalysis of the eastern Pacific version of HURDAT.

:The article never said that Alma was the first tropical cyclone to strike Central America from the Pacific side; it only said first TS, which was based on the NHC discussion. However, given the example you provided, I'm fine with having that removed. Let us know what you find out. Also, a user mentioned on my talk page that Simone in 1968 made landfall in Central America as a tropical storm, so clearly the NHC didn't do their research. ♬♩ [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] (<small>[[User_talk:Hurricanehink|talk]]</small>) 22:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
::I mentioned Hattie/Simone/Inga (1961) to Eric as well.  My guess is that they don't consider southern Mexico as central America.  [[User:Thegreatdr|Thegreatdr]] ([[User talk:Thegreatdr|talk]]) 22:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

What about Aridan? That made landfall as a hurricane,right. what about Barbara?

::They probably the first TS to strike Nicaragua.----[[User:Irdicent|<b><span style="color: pink;">Ir</span></b>]][[User talk:Irdicent|<b><span style="color: #00e0a0;">di</span></b>]][[Special:Contributions/Irdicent|<b><span style="color: pink;">ce</span></b>]][[User:Irdicent/Sandbox|<b><span style="color: #00e0a0;">nt</span></b>]] 23 20:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
