Does anyone have any info on *when* this hurricane was around?

Do you really think a clean up is nessisary? All it needs is a date.

I edited this to include the fact that Hurricane David hit tiny Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic), killing several people there and leaveing 90+ people homeless. Not only that, it crippled the country for a long time, keeping schools closed for over a year. David hit Dominica on Aug 29, 1979.

More impact, better intro, better wikification. Jdorje 21:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Hurricanehink 21:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, great work as always. Is there any info on preparations or aftermath of the storm? The way it's structured now almost everything is in the "Impact" section (which isn't fundamentally bad, but it makes the TOC look ugly). Should be nominated for A-class. — jdorje (talk) 08:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything on the preparations. I might take another look later on, but I'm pretty sure there isn't much there. Hurricanehink 14:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I couldn't find any impact pictures that weren't copyrighted, JTLYK. Hurricanehink 14:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This would be a good choice for the next FAC. I think more on the aftermath is needed, however - certainly in DR and PR, and possibly in the US. I created an aftermath section but haven't filled out any new sections yet. — jdorje (talk) 23:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? Cool! I'd help, but I'm currently working on another project (Mitch). Bring it up at the assessments page, and see if anyone there can help here. Hurricanehink 00:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to update the rainfall information concerning this hurricane. The rainfall statistics from the old NHC preliminary report - which appears to have been gleaned from an NCDC report - were incomplete from Florida and the Carolinas according to cooperative daily rainfall observations from NCDC and the old HPC QPE's used to verify the rainfall forecasts. All involved in this project should beware of rainfall figures from the NHC reports - they tended to focus on maximum 24-hour amounts and what they consider "core rainfall" until relatively recently. thegreatdr 21:40, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As part of the

Let me know if the use of the CLIQR database is an issue in this article. It's pretty obvious in the Northern Hemisphere map series that David's extratropical cyclone phase continued for at least 2 more days after the alleged "dissipation" southeast of Greenland.
