2020 Atlantic Hall of Fame Nominees
Looks like we got a lot of interest here, so let's go on to nominations for the 2020 Hall of Fame. We've got 11 storms with 3+ votes, and those following storms are set:


 * 1893 Charleston Hurricane


 * 1921 Tampa Bay Hurricane


 * 1933 Brownsville Hurricane


 * Hurricane Dora (1964)


 * Tropical Storm Amelia (1978)


 * Hurricane Marilyn (1995)


 * Hurricane Fran (1996)


 * Hurricane Michelle (2001)


 * Hurricane Felix (2007)


 * Hurricane Igor (2010)

But 11 others have two votes, so we'll have to exclude two of these to have 20. Let's vote on two of these to exclude, and the others will be up for nomination:
 * Hurricane Michael (2018)


 * 1866 Bahamas Hurricane


 * 1921 Tampa Bay Hurricane


 * 1933 Tampico Hurricane


 * Hurricane King (1950)


 * Hurricane Edna (1954) I personally believe Edna was the least notable of these storms, let alone being less severe than Carol (which is already in), so I'd wait on this until next year, along with Lee.

 * Hurricane Alicia (1983)


 * Hurricane Gloria (1985)


 * Hurricane Diana (1990) Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  00:56, January 6, 2020 (UTC)


 * Hurricane Dennis (2005) Jas (Anonymous 2.0) (talk) 06:39, January 6, 2020 (UTC)


 * Tropical Storm Lee (2011) EDIT: Sorry Jas, I meant to say two instead of one above, and I believe this would be the other best choice, since Otto was more severe (relatively speaking) for Costa Rica than Lee was for the U.S. Ryan1000 20:28, January 5, 2020 (UTC) Not as notable as Otto, or even other tropical storms like Imelda, Erika, Allison, or Amelia. ~  ☃ Steve ❄   Message Me  My Edits  📧  18:57, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for any wait, but moving on...I actually made a brief mistake, I added the 1921 Tampa storm twice by accident, so we're just going to exclude Edna since she had more votes than Lee to be excluded. That aside, these are the 20 nominees for the 2020 Atlantic Hall of Fame: So here they are, listed by chronological order. We each vote for 10 of these 20, and those 10 become the inductees for this year's Atlantic Hall of Fame, and then we can rank our top 5 most notable among said 10.

 * Wait a minute, if the 2004-2012 electorate would be taken into consideration, wouldn't that mean that Dennis and the 1933 Tampico hurricane have already been inducted? Or am I just misunderstanding things? Jas (Anonymous 2.0) (talk) 06:47, January 11, 2020 (UTC)

Well, back then Eric's rule for the Atlantic hall of fame (and I used this for 2018 until changing it in 2019) was 10-5-3, but now it's 20-10-5. So I chose to induct the 5 storms that Eric chose in the archive, which were the 1891 San Magin (Martinique) Hurricane, 1910 Cuba Hurricane (Cyclone of the five days), Charlie '51, Cleo '64, and Stan '05. The others were put back into the pool for us to choose from. Ryan1000 15:45, January 11, 2020 (UTC)
 * I see. I thought those crossed out were the ones excluded. Thanks for the clarification, Ryan! Jas (Anonymous 2.0) (talk) 17:23, January 11, 2020 (UTC)

2020 Atlantic Hall of Fame Inductees
We got a fairly good consensus (3 or more votes) on these 7 storms, but we got a tiebreaker vote on a few others, so let's go through this: We got these storms with 2 votes, and we can only have 3 of them: We'll eventually narrow this down to 10 for 2020, like we got for the other basins for the nominating process.

 * Alright, looks like we got two votes each for 1866 Bahamas and Fran, and 3 for Igor, so we'll include those 3 with the other 7 for the 2020 Atlantic Hall of Fame. That being said, my personal top 5 most notable among these 10 are:


 * 1) 1866 Bahamas Hurricane
 * 2) Hurricane Michael
 * 3) Hurricane Felix
 * 4) Hurricane Igor
 * 5) 1893 Charleston Hurricane

The 1866 storm is regarded as the deadliest hurricane to hit the Bahamas in recorded history, and is one of the few storms alongside the 1926 Nassau Hurricane that is comparable to Dorian for it's significance in the islands. Michael would take a second place to that IMO, followed by Felix and Igor (among the worst hurricanes in Nicaragua and Newfoundland, respectively), and lastly the 1893 Charleston storm, as it was the last significant major hurricane to hit Charleston until Hugo, and racked up one of the highest ACE totals in the Atlantic on top of that.
