Forum:Hurricane Hall of Fame/East Pacific 2018

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)

 * Hurricane John (1994) Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 01:13, June 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * Tropical Storm Agatha (2010)


 * Hurricane Manuel (2013)Ryan1000 02:13, June 18, 2018 (UTC) Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 17:33, June 18, 2018 (UTC) Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 01:13, June 19, 2018 (UTC)

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)
 * Hurricane Patricia (2015)Ryan1000 02:13, June 18, 2018 (UTC) Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 17:33, June 18, 2018 (UTC) Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 01:13, June 19, 2018 (UTC)

2018 East 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)
 * Tropical Storm Aletta (1982)
 * Hurricane Manuel
 * Hurricane Patricia
 * For all the records broken and set, my favorite would be Patricia. Also turned out to be less damaging as everyone thought, so that gives her additional points. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 00:07, June 22, 2018 (UTC)
