Hey, I just found out something interesting. The records are wrong. Hurricane Arlene of 1987 took twelve and a half days to become a hurricane. That track isn't broken with degenerations like Hurricane Dennis' was and Hurricane Lisa of 2004 took only 11 days to become a hurricane.
P.S: Cyrius, I told you I'd help you out.(It probably put me down as an anonymous user because I was somehow logged out when I did. I was sure I was logged in, but apparently not) Now I'm going to go work on some of the earlier hurricane articles, the forties, the thirties...but I'll be back.

Im baffled - why was this named 14 - there wasnt near that many depressions.
Tropical System 14 formed on October 30 in the Carribean Sea. On October 31st, 14 was given Tropical Depression status. That night, 14 tracked across the Carribean. It ran into a low with wind shear. The low in conjunction with the western end of an elliptical 200 milibars went high to the east, created a shearing pattern. By November 1st,only a swirl of clouds was left due to the shear.
Suddenly, on the night of November 2nd, 14's remnants, near Cuba, restrengthened into T.D 14. A strong area of thunderstorms moved into the Key West area. The Naval Air Station at Boca Chica, Florida reported winds of 40 knots going east. A report says it was strong as 40 to 60 knots was found at the Keys. 14 made landfall with 31 MPH winds. Later on November 3rd, a NOAA Aircraft suffered severe turbulence in a North/South feeder band. Degrees fell from 24 to 19 in 4 minutes. A wind of 80 kts (92 MPH), was recorded and the mbar was dropped to 998. It started dissipating on November 3rd over Florida. First sattillite pictures on November 4th only found a swirl in the air near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. 14 was absorbed by another front on November 5th in the area of the Carolina Capes. 6 were killed in Jamaica because of 14. HurricaneCraze32 11:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I have no idea what "elliptical 200 millibars" means. There's nothing wrong with the article as it is now. But if there's something you want to add, go ahead and add it. If we decide it doesn't belong we can easily remove it. (And on a related note, I removed a useless paragraph from the intro. The intro should be reserved for important information about the season; adding a whole paragraph about an unnamed unnotable storm is just wrong.) — jdorje ( talk) 00:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Why would they issue a tropical storm warning if they thought the storm was a depression at the time? Is this sloppy writing or were they just anticipating strengthening? — jdorje ( talk) 08:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I looked at some seasons and apparently depression 14 is the most used.Did i find the right info.
Depressions:
1987 Atlantic hurricane season
2002 Atlantic hurricane season
1995 Atlantic hurricane season
2003 Atlantic hurricane season
Tropical Storms:
1953 Atlantic hurricane season
1936 Atlantic hurricane season
Hurricanes:
1916 Atlantic hurricane season
1887 Atlantic hurricane season
Those are the 4.

Does anyone have any? HurricaneCraze32 21:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
I have a little information. Here are the tracks, by request. This isn't from a reference-able source, but should help you all along.
Found some at the HPC. URL: http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/rain/td9of1987.html HurricaneCraze32 22:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Emily (1987) is the fastest-moving tropical cyclone on record, per the citation. Other storms rival that speed in their extratropical stage, like Arlene and the Long Island Express hurricane (1938), but then again, they're no longer tropical cyclones. I removed the multi-line reference in Arlene. Interestingly, Emily already had a statement saying it was the fastest, so no changes were needed there. This removed the disagreement seen between Arlene and Emily regarding their quick movements. Thegreatdr 15:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Great job on this article, it is very well done and fulfills all of the criteria. However, I would suggest creating a chart at the top of the storm summaries for the season and possibly expanding the lead by a paragraph. Terrific job nevertheless. Hello32020 ( talk) 23:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm surprised this article passed GA. It doesn't make much sense to cover tropical depressions both within the main article AND in an other storms section. This needs to be resolved. If it isn't by mid-month, I'll seek a reassessment. Thegreatdr ( talk) 15:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
