Just FYI, I am maintaining this Social Media Emergency Management (SMEM) group for Joaquin. Feel free to delve into any of the articles and resources we post. We will cite sources and curate content related to the storm. Don't consider us a "primary source" such as NOAA / NHC, or FEMA. But we may have some links useful to Wikipedians doing their job and looking for the latest information. Facebook: Hurricane Joaquin -- Petercorless ( talk) 16:00, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
It looks like this is going to be one for the fishes, it will be noteworthy for it's impact on the Bahamas though. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 02:48, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
Just archiving some WPC discussions here for later use on the partially related flood event (nor'easter).

Soooo... is it worth mentioning in the article that Joaquin is the most intense Atlantic hurricane in the satellite era to NOT be spawned by or initiated by the influence of a tropical wave? I realize there is no super easy way to source that per wiki standards besides just linking to HURDAT, but a look through the Atlantic seasons since the mid 1970s (and honestly even back to 1950 or earlier) and reading of each intense storm's origins will show that all hurricanes more intense than Joaquin in either wind OR pressure were borne of tropical waves. There have been multiple major hurricanes, even a few category fours, borne of non-tropical lows or fronts, but none as intense as Joaquin. Lenny in 1999 MIGHT be an exception, but with Joaquin's 155mph peak, it's tied in wind speed but more intense than Lenny by pressure. Thoughts? EquusStorm ( talk) 22:51, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
The storm's treatment of Haiti is stated briefly in the article, but the section doesn't quite go into detail. That's not to say that the text is badly written. It just appears too brief. Should the article expand on the situation? CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 05:18, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
It seems worth noting that Joaquin is very likely to be the deadliest hurricane within the region since the 1929 Bahamas hurricane which killed 48 people in the Bahamas. While there likely isn't a single source stating this verbatim, I was able to find a source listing all the major storms to affect the country ranging in time from The Great Bahamas hurricane of 1866 to Sandy in 2012. - http://www.thenassauguardian.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=40272:major-hurricanes-to-hit-the-bahamas&catid=84:hurricane The only reason I can think of as to why this information might be considered dubious is because all the deaths were on the El Faro, and not on land. However, one must take into consideration that in the case of the 1929 hurricane, at least 20 of the 48 deaths in the Bahamas were at sea. Would it be okay to add this piece of information into the article? -- Undescribed ( talk) 02:35, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
There were 0 deaths???!!! Jonah DeWeil ( talk) 22:24, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
