Forum:Hurricane Hall of Fame

Hurricane Hall of Fame
Hurricane Maker has expressed interest in me resurrecting my Hurricane Hall of Fame. I started it several years ago as just a fun little project, but then I brought it onto Wikipedia and it kind of took off. However it has been dormant since I left Wikipedia in 2010. There has not been an official class since 2008. I always wanted to expand my voter pool and our little tight knit group here on the forums seems like the perfect choice. I was thinking of adding the HOF ballot to our yearly betting pools page. See the link for some background and the rules and guidelines I laid out (years ago...I recently upped the cost limits for automatic nomination and induction). The way it normally worked was that I would make a list of ten nominees from which five would be selected, but I'm definately open to suggestions. I've also developed a seperate Historical Electorate (akin to Cooperstown's Historical Committee) for storms prior to 1875. In the HE, three inductees are selected from a list of ten nominees. What do you guys think? -- SkyFury 23:50, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm interested. At the end of this year, we may add a HOF ballot to the end of this year's betting pools in all basins. I don't know how the selection round will go then, voting process? CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 01:27, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it would be a good idea, considering the fact that many people may express interest. Hurricane Andrew (444) 14:57, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Great idea, CS.10L.NONAME 20:50, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * My question is, if we're going to do this as an end-of-the-year thing, then does that have an impact on the "two seasons old" criterion for inclusion? Also, perhaps voters could submit their own nominations? --HurricaneMaker99 21:00, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * But then again this is the Hurricane Wikia. If we decide to keep the "two year seasons old" criterion, then voting pools can still happen every year, just that hurricanes will only be inducted once 2 seasons old. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 22:02, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't worry. There's lots of hurricanes before 2009.10L.NONAME 22:55, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * The ones I personally want inducted are from '07 and '08; I asked in case anyone would have wanted to nominate any post-'09 storms. --HurricaneMaker99 22:58, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Should this be moved to a forum of it's own? YE Tropical Cyclone  23:07, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * What, the section or a new forum for the HOF? CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 23:08, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think this should be it's own forum, like the favorite storms of 2011 forum I made earlier this year. The Worldwide activity discussion forum on the TC BasinNAV is for discussing worldwide activity of 2011. I also made one for 2012 as well, but it's made ahead of time. IMO Tip is no. 1 in the hall of Fame. Ryan1000 23:22, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think a separate forum page for this is a better option than the section. We had a huge debate over the same thing related to the WAD being in the EPac forum. The HHoH isn't Atlantic only so it shouldn't be in the Atlantic forum. Yqt1001 00:41, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on the current consensus...I'll go ahead and make a forum for the HoH and move this. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 00:45, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like I said back when this was in the ATL forum, I think SkyFury should be writing this. Also why is it called 2011 HHoH? Not like the discussion relates to a year or anything. Maybe it could be changed to HHoH and then have another topic called "2011 HHoH Voting" when the time for voting comes? CS changed it. Yqt1001 01:07, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 01:13, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Wow, I clearly underestimated the level of interest. I come back 24 hours after I first brought it up and it's already got its own page. As the creater and founder of the Hurricane Hall of Fame as well as the keeper of the record, I feel like I should have final say as to how this is run. This is definately a democracy and I in fact want your input, but remember, this is my baby here. First, let me clear a few things up. Atlantic and East & West Pacific are the only basins included at this time. We can talk about expansion at some other time. Also, because of the shear volume of eligible, deserving storms, each basin gets its own ballot. The Wikipedia pages only list the Atlantic members. I have an Excel file on my computer with the entire list. Yes, Ryan, Tip was inducted with the inaugural WPac class of 2007. Also keep in mind that I started this as just a fun little thing. The first two Atlantic classes (2004 and 2005) and the only four Pacific classes (2007 and 2008 for East and West) were hand selected by me. It wasn't until 2006 that I brought the Atlantic ballot to Wikipedia and started running it like a real HOF. I can have my official list posted to this forum, if you guys would like, by this weekend. You will then be free to scrutinize my early selections. I think you will find them agreeable, but I'm willing to listen to grievances. -- SkyFury 08:50, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

The Nomination and Election Process
As I mentioned, there will be a list of ten nominees from which five will be chosen. Historically, I chose the ten nominees that were voted on. Obviously in this expanded format, we'll want it to be more democratic than that. However, I don't want a free-for-all with people just randomly throwing out names. I'd like it to be more controlled than that. One idea I dabbled in a while back was the "Pool of Twenty". I could propose a list of twenty storms that we could discuss. Names could be added or subtracted per consensus. For example, if there's a storm that's not in the Pool of Twenty that you guys feel merits more consideration than one that is in the Pool, they can be swapped. Me whittling it to twenty would greatly expedite the selection process while still allowing you guys plenty of say.

It's important to keep an open mind. Remember what I said about recentism. The HHOF goes all the way back to 1800 (the Great Hurricane of 1780 received a special exemption). That's a lot of history. Each of the nominees has to measure up fairly with any storm over the past 200 years. I would strongly encourage you guys to do some research on our candidates. The selections should be in keeping with the principles I laid out on the Wikipedia page. Also, we shouldn't drag out this voting process. I'd like the nominees to be decided on within a week's time. We could push it longer, but let's shoot for one week.

Once the ten nominees have been decided, I'll let you guys stew on them for a few days (maybe a week) during which you will each decide on your list of five. That will be your ballot. Then, on a pre-selected date (don't worry, that's not strict...we can accomodate stragglers), we all submit our ballots. Once the ballots are in, the inductees can be determined two different ways. We could set it up so that the five that appear on the most ballots are in. This would set up an engaging debate when the inevitable tie occurs to decide the final one or two spots. Or we could say the storms that appear on a majority (>50%) of ballots are in. This also allows room for healthy debate should fewer than five meet this requirement. Either one would be fine, but I don't want it set up like the Baseball Hall of Fame and others where a certain percentage is required to get in. Five is a good number. Unfortunately, there have been no shortage of devastating, as well as curious and record-breaking, storms worthy of enshrinement. - SF

Voting Schedule
Now, I generally like to do the ballot in May or June, when excitement about the coming hurricane season is high. By November, I think we're all pretty much hurricane-ed out. Also May/June is right around the time we're doing our betting pools. However doing it at the end would allow us to start this year, although we may do something special for the Resurrection Year. It also fits nicely with the "two seasons" rule. I'm flexible on when we do the vote, but it can be no earlier than December and no later than June. Like I said, I'd prefer to do it in May, however if we chose May, then we may want to do a special resurrection vote this fall. - SF

The "Two Seasons" Rule
Let me explain the two seasons rule: As a staunch opponent of recentism, I don't want nominees to be too fresh on the minds of voters (you guys). Under the two seasons rule, two full seasons must pass before a storm is eligible. 2008's Hurricane Hanna, for example, did not become eligible until the conclusion of the 2010 season. This is regardless of whether we decide to do the vote in December or in the spring. This is one of the rules I'm not too flexible on. - SF

Historical Electorate
Because the Atlantic pool is so vast, given the depth of the historical record, and there are so many old storms worthy of enshrinement, in 2007 (the same time I established the East and West Pacific Halls) I created the Historical Electorate. Under this format, the main ballot would be restricted to storms from 1875-present and storms prior to 1875 would be voted on in the HE. Based on Cooperstown's Historical Committee, the HE would consist of a separate list of ten nominees from which you guys would select three inductees. For the sake of time and to reduce the research load on you guys, I will probably select the ten nominees. - SF

Boy, that's a lot isn't it! Yeah, I've had six years to think about this. I'm sure there are other details to hammer out but this is a good breakdown of the major talking points. Please post your comments under the section to which it is relevant. For general discussion of the HHOF itself, post in the main section above "Rules and Organization". Thanks! -- SkyFury 08:50, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Hall of Fame 2018
I'd like to revitalize Eric's Hurricane Hall of Fame starting again with this year since the wiki has gotten a lot more active and we have a lot of notable storms to enter into it by now. I'll start by listing the storms that haven't been inducted in previous seasons. If anyone finds a storm that hasn't been inducted in previous years (see above) that is notable in its impacts or other historic significance (high ACE or long-lasting, ect), you can add it in too. The storms that I crossed through above were Eric's five chosen inductees in the 2012 Hall of Fame; since the others didn't get picked by him, they can be eligible for this year. I've also chosen to add two pre-1800 storms (the 1775 Newfoundland Hurricane and 1776 Pointe-a-Pitre hurricane) due to their high death tolls, but beside them, there aren't many pre-1800 storms to get, since reliable data before then is hard to come by.

 * Hurricane Nate (2017)

As far as I know, none of the above storms were inducted in the Hall of Fame yet, and can be for this year, except for Nate and Otto. Nate and Otto are not yet eligible due to the "two-seasons" rule from Eric's rules above, since he strongly opposed recentism, and they will be eligible by the end of the 2019 season. Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Matthew are excluded from that rule since they caused enough damage (10 billion) to qualify for automatic induction, but we're going to have a vote regardless. Like I mentioned before, if you guys can find some other storms that aren't mentioned above that can qualify for their impacts, feel free to add them.

Anyways, here's what I'm thinking: Eric said a while ago that before 2007, the hall of fame used to be less organized, with a lot of storms being inducted in each year, but we won't induct every notable storm in this year at once, we'll get them in a few at a time. So I'm thinking we should do the 10-5-3 rule he mentioned a while ago (for the Atlantic). How that works is, we each vote (sign) for 10 storms out of the list above, and after a week or two (with enough users weighing in) we'll list the 10 storms that received the most votes, and pick 5 candidates out of those 10 storms for induction. Storms that don't make those 5 votes will not be inducted into the hall of fame that year and will be eligible for next year instead. Then, we can each individually pick 3 of those storms to win the "bronze, silver, and gold cups" for our 3 personal most notable storms of those 5 inductees. Those 3 storms don't have to be the same between users. If there is a tie between two or more storms for 10th or 5th place in the nomination or induction processes, we'll have another, separate vote between those two or more storms that are tied, and try to narrow it down for the nominees and inductees.

Well, that's it for now. Comment below if you have any suggestions. Once we get everyone's input (from about 6-8 other users or so), we'll start listing storms that got the most votes and go to the nominations and inductions.

2018 Atlantic Nominees
We need 10 for the nomination process to begin with our 5 inductions, but unfortunately we have a 5-way tie at 2 votes. So to narrow this down, as I mentioned above, we'll list those 5 storms, and we each pick 3 of these 5. The 3 that get the most votes will get to nomination. Those that don't, will be eligible for next year. Hmm...still doesn't look like we got 10 yet, we got 3 votes each for Alicia and Luis, so they'll make it, but Lenny and Irene are still tied for 2. So we'll go to one more tiebreaker round before voting on nominees; let's pick one between Lenny and Irene, and the storm with more votes will make it to the ten nominees this year (as a side note, I've crossed out Edouard '96 for future elections; Rara, he wasn't particularly notable, either trivially or by terms of impacts. A storm like Edouard could belong in the "favorite storms" forum, but not here).

Alright, we'll go with Lenny. I personally wanted Irene for her higher impacts, but we can always nominate her next year. Anyways, with that now out of the way, the ten Atlantic nominees for the 2018 Hall of Fame are below. Like I said above, we now each pick 5 of these, and the 5 storms that get the most votes will be the hall of famers for 2018. We'll go to another tiebreaker round if two or more are tied for 5th most votes. Ryan1000 03:40, June 21, 2018 (UTC)

East Pacific
Because notable storms are harder to come by in the Eastern Pacific (many years can pass without a significant storm in impacts or that is retired), I'm thinking we should all just vote for 5 of the storms above, then when we have enough votes, nominate 3 of those 5, and we can each select our most notable storm among them.

I'll only do the Atlantic and East Pacific for now; if you guys would like to start on expanding the WPac, and starting the NIO and SHem basin's hall of fame, go ahead with it. Comment any suggestions below. Ryan1000 00:27, June 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, King and Irene are honorable mentions in my book - if not enough information can be found on the Newfoundland or Pointe-a-Pitre hurricanes to support HOF write-ups for them, then I'll go with King and Irene instead. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 01:05, June 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * The 1775 and 1776 storms were two of the deadliest Atlantic hurricanes on record, so they (along with the 1780 hurricane, which was already inducted) are the only pre-1800 storms I'm considering for the hall of fame (although I'm aware death tolls were higher back then for obvious reasons). I also forgot Norman of 1978 for the EPac; it's remnants apparently caused over a billion dollars in flood damage to California. For the EPac, I agree with most of your picks, though I'm going to go with Odile over John, since it was extremely destructive, and I'm more inclined to vote in notable storms by their damage/death totals for the hall of fame than for trivial records (I added a few more such storms for the Atlantic, namely Kyle '02, Ginger '71, and Inga '69), but I would definitely consider John down the road. Hopefully we can get everyone else to pitch in. EDIT: I also realized Dot (1959) wasn't inducted before, so I'll add her too. Fico also gets credit, I believe he had the highest ACE of any EPac storm while east of the dateline. Ryan1000 02:42, June 16, 2018 (UTC)

2018 Pacific Nominees
The below 5 storms received the most votes for nomination into the Hall of Fame for the East Pacific:

Now, we each pick 3 of those storms, and the 3 that get the most votes will be the hall of famers for the East Pacific in 2018. If there's a tie between two or three, we'll have a second round of voting where we pick one of those two, or two of three. Ryan1000 02:13, June 18, 2018 (UTC)

2018 Pacific Hall of Fame Inductees
It seems Aletta, Manuel, and Patricia have the most votes from above, and so they will be the 3 hall of fame inductees for the EPac this year: Now, as an optional decision, we can each pick our top storm among these 3. Personally, since I value deaths as more notable than damage, my top pick for the most notable storm among these 3 would be Aletta. Ryan1000 03:46, June 20, 2018 (UTC)

West Pacific
Adding WPac below. Besides the unique ones like Tip and Vamei there are lots of deadly and/or damaging storms so I'll go up to 2000 for now. ~ KN2731 {talk} 13:14, June 16, 2018 (UTC)

@KN2731: Tip was previously inducted in the WPac Hall of Fame back in 2007. Although I don't have a list of it, Eric (SkyFury) said so in a reply to me many years ago (see above). Regardless, I've added a lot of deadly and/or destructive past storms to the list above. Since the WPac has had so many destructive/deadly storms in its past, I suggest for this basin's hall of fame, we vote for 20 storms from the list above, then induct 10 of those per year, and then we can each rank our own top 5 among the ten inducted storms. But I'm open to other suggestions if you have some (we could do 10-5-3 on the WPac like we're currently doing in the Atlantic, but again, let's discuss this a bit), also I may have missed some other notable storms for their death tolls and/or damages, feel free to add more.

 * I think if a storm/typhoon lasted for more than 15 days (like Wayne and Rita) or reached a death toll that is higher than 500 and a damage total exceeding $4 billion, it should automatically be inducted into the Hall of Fame. So far, I believe only Fitow, Prapiroon, Songda, Mireille, Hato, Rammasun, Maemi and Flo have surpassed the $4 billion mark, while there are several storms that had a 500+ death toll. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 01:33, June 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * You voted for 33 storms Anonymous, we're not going to nominate or induct that many in one hall of fame season. I'm thinking we should either vote for 20, induct 10 of those 20, and we each pick our personal top 5 of those storms, or do the same thing for the Atlantic (nominate 10, induct 5, and vote our personal top 3). I'm open to some other suggestions, but 33 storms is a lot, and we would run out in a few years if we inducted or nominated that many, even for the WPac. Ryan1000 11:32, June 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. I agree that 33 is a lot. I lost count of my signatures earlier; my apologies. But my point in my comment is that there are several storms in that list that should be automatically inducted because of the records they set/broken, damage they caused, and their notability or historical significance. That said, the Haiphong Typhoon and the Great Hong Kong Typhoon should be included (if it happens). Same goes with Vera, Haiyan and Nina, and to some extent, Thelma. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 14:14, June 19, 2018 (UTC)

True, but we don't want to enter all of them in one year, we can induct some notable storms one year, some more in the next, and if the pool eventually gets low, we'll induct fewer storms per year. Ryan1000 17:50, June 19, 2018 (UTC)
