Why is the disam. page named Tropical Storm Omar? Shouldn't there be a statement saying This article is about the 2008 storm; there was also a Typhoon Omar in the 1992 Pacific typhoon season, instead of this? 76.236.182.31 ( talk) 14:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
I get this, but the typhoon of 1992 was the only other Omar there is, so it should say This article is about the 2008 hurricane; there was also a Typhoon Omar during the 1992 Pacific typhoon season, because there is no other Omar. It says this in some Atlantic hurricane articles, like 2003's Isabel and 1992's Andrew. With Isabel, it says This article is about the 2003 hurricane; there was also a Tropical Storm Isabel during the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season. It is the same thing with Andrew as well. It says This article is about the 1992 hurricane; there was also a Tropical Storm Andrew during the 1986 Atlantic hurricane season because they were the only 2 Andrews' there were. Therefore, it should say the same thing with Omar. In other words, you should only make a disam. page if there are 3 or more storms of the same name. 76.236.182.31 ( talk) 14:28, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Do you agree with me on this change for now? 76.236.179.230 ( talk) 20:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I would, considering the fact it is right that there are only 2 Omar's. 76.236.179.230 ( talk) 23:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
If the name isn't retired after this year, then we will put the page as Tropical Storm Omar. 76.236.187.191 ( talk) 21:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
A comment was added to the article stating that we don't need to cite Omar's retirement in the west Pacific because it is mentioned in Typhoon Omar. This is incorrect. The claim is cited in neither article and needs a reference regardless. Plasticup T/ C 04:47, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
The article should be called Hurricane Omar, not Hurricane Omar (2008). There is no good reason for adding "(2008)" in the title, in my opinion, until/unless a subsequent hurricane with the same name becomes more important. (I'd have moved the article myself, but the redirect page has more than one edit, so it will take an admin to make such a move.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:48, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
There is no other Omar until 2014 or onward, but it doesn't appear that this storm is going to be that signifigant for the Virgin Islands. With Hurricane Ike, another storm in 2008, there is no other Hurricane Ike like Omar, but Hurricane Ike was signifigantly more notable than Omar, so this storm should be left with the "2008" for now because it was not signifigant unlike Ike was. Even the Typhoon Omar in 1992 was more notable than this storm, and because it isn't signifigant, this storm should be left with the "2008" for now. In other words, it is more obvious for Ike to be retired, but Omar is not an obvious retirement canidate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.236.182.31 ( talk) 22:50, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
True, it has intensified rather fast recently, but keep in mind hurricane force winds only extend 15 miles out from the center; therefore, it has to directly impact the Virgin islands to cause signifigant damage. If it passes even shortly between them then damage won't be very severe. There is only a slight possibility it will cause heavy damage because the strongest winds cover such a small area, and unless it directly makes landfall here, leave the (2008) with it. Otherwise, just leave it with the (2008) until we decide it shouldn't be there. No damages or deaths have been reported yet.
If the current track holds, the eye and eyewall will miss land completely. CrazyC83 ( talk) 02:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I get what you are saying, and Omar missed directly affecting the islands, so they did not get the strongest winds nor the highest rain, so I doubt the effects were severe. True, it is the only Hurricane Omar their is, but the impacts were not extreme; it's like leaving Tropical Storm Laura of 1971 as just Tropical Storm Laura, when there is no big point of leaving it as just Hurricane Omar. This is not a Marilyn or Hugo; it's more like a Klaus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.236.182.31 ( talk) 10:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I highly doubt the name will be retired after this year, considering the lack of big impacts from Omar. I told you earlier, Omar was a small storm, and because it missed the islands, the impacts were light, despite it's extreme intensity, although all of the damage reports I saw were on St. Thomas. I am not sure if other islands, like St. Croix, suffered bad damage. We have to wait for the NHC's tropical cyclone report to come out before we can make a possible discussion about retirement. I'm not trying to say the name won't be retired after this year; i'm just saying the impacts were light, and it shouldn't deserve the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.236.182.31 ( talk) 20:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
The name Omar could be retired after this year, but I wouldn't count on it, so we should just wait until the WMO makes their announcement next Spring. 1999's Lenny was retired although not causing severe damage, and Omar could be retired, too, but the 330 million in damage from Lenny was just for our territories. For our info, Omar could have caused virtually no damage in our territories but billions in damage on the ABC's, so we just need to wait for now. 76.235.206.88 ( talk) 21:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
An estimate of damage now is 46 million, but that's just for Antigua and Dominica. There still is no damage report avaliable for the Virgins, Puerto Rico, and the ABC's. But I wouldn't expect damage there to be catastrophic, though. 76.235.205.44 ( talk) 23:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE PLANE HAS BEEN PENETRATING THE EYE OF OMAR AND MEASURED A PRESSURE OF 959 MB AND TWO SPOT WINDS OF 132 AND 124 KT AT FLIGHT LEVEL. THE CREW COULD NOT SAMPLE THE ENTIRE EYEWALL DUE TO EXTREMELY HIGH TURBULENCE. OBJECTIVE T-NUMBERS OSCILLATED BETWEEN 6.5 AND 7.0 ON THE DVORAK SCALE DURING THAT TIME. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OMAR REACHED A PEAK INTENSITY OF 115 KNOTS EARLIER. HOWEVER...SINCE THEN...THE CLOUD PATTERN HAS DETERIORATED AND HAS BECOME ASYMMETRIC. THE EYE IS NO LONGER DISTINCT ON IR IMAGES AND THE MINIMUM PRESSURE HAS RISEN. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 110 KNOTS. SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN INTENSITY ARE LIKELY DURING THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS OR SO BUT THE GENERAL TREND IS FOR OMAR TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS ENCOUNTERS STRONGER SHEAR. THE HURRICANE SHOULD BEGIN TO LOSE TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN 96 HOURS OR SOONER.
Cyclonebiskit ( talk) 10:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
They mentioned in a discussion that Hernan's peak was likely 110 kt, but the TCR confirmed the advisory-set 105 kt. CrazyC83 ( talk) 17:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
You cant confirm anything with an estimate, in my opinion I think Omar should be classified as a strong Cat 3. Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 17:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Although no damage report has come out from the NHC, cant we just put "minimal" for damage? It didn't have an extreme impact. 76.235.206.88 ( talk) 21:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Can you find any damage reports from Omar in the ABC's and Virgin Islands? I can't find any good damage figures, so I'm not sure if the damage was extreme. 76.236.187.191 ( talk) 20:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
There were no severe damage reports I found, so it could be reasonable to put minimal for it's damage. 76.235.166.14 ( talk) 22:48, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Why would this article need to be expanded? It appears just fine if you ask me. Why expand it? 76.236.179.230 ( talk) 21:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I know, but this hurricane didn't signifigantly affect land, so I don't think it should be expanded. This hurricane's article is no longer than Bertha's article earlier this year, and there is no "expand" on that storm. 76.236.187.191 ( talk) 21:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
That's another question I had. Why would you make main articles for Pacific hurricanes that aren't signifigant whatsoever? There's no point to it. 76.236.187.191 ( talk) 23:53, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
It's dumb in a way; you don't need to be so specific with these storms. With Tropical Storm Karina, a good description of that storm is "A tropical Depression developed south of Mexico by September 2. It dissipated the following day. Karina had no effect on land". You shouldn't be that specific because it didn't affect any land. Why would you have to be so specific with this? Are you interested in knowing everything about a storm that never affected land? It's sort of like a waste of time. Storms like Elida, Hernan, and Karina don't need a main article because there are so many other Pacific Hurricanes that take the same track and reach the same intensity as these storms. 76.236.187.191 ( talk) 20:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
You are telling me a long-liuved major hurricane that was a FAC should be merged? Aso i have intrest in storms that did not effect land. Also,Hernan was at one piont this short, but that was nearly two mouths ago.

I only have a partial interest in storms which don't affect land, like with Hurricane Linda in 1997, because although that storm didn't affect land, it's extreme intensity catches my attention, but storms like Karina this year, don't. 76.235.166.14 ( talk) 22:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, it's been more than a month since this storm struck, and this article hasn't been expanded whatsoever. Is anyone out there going to expand this or what? 76.235.165.167 ( talk) 03:43, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
So it will take time to get expanded because other articles are being expanded? It says that Omar caused 35 million in damage to Dominica and 11 million to Antigua. That could go in the impact section; otherwise there is no need for that, just for an expansion idea. 76.235.165.167 ( talk) 03:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
You're wrong, Julian. We can expand them all, but it will take a very long time to do it. 76.235.165.167 ( talk) 15:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, I guess you're right on that. We could expand it soon, or now; it says thad Property damage in Dominica totaled to 35 million, and agricultural losses in Antigua totaled to 11 million. Both are backed up by references, and could be put in the impact section now, but as you said, we have tons of articles, and Omar will take some time to get to. 99.156.30.47 ( talk) 13:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Damage reports are still coming out. The Virgin Islands, ABC's, and other areas. I'm not sure if it should be expanded now though... 76.236.191.27 ( talk) 02:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
On the impact section of this article, it says "While the trade winds usually blow from east to west, and all major beaches lie on the Leeward side west of the ABC Islands, on October 14, Omar brought strong westerly winds which caused severe damage on the coasts, including a lot of power outages and downed trees. One direct death was confirmed in puerto Rico due to Omar." Shouldn't the direct death be put in the section with Puerto Rico's impacts from Omar rather than in the ABC Islands section? 76.235.217.70 ( talk) 16:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Good point. I changed it. That shouldn't be here because it does not coorilate to that part of the impact section. This should be the case with all storms in the season, if there are any others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.217.70 ( talk) 17:19, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

It just says Barbuda's damage was 18 million, what about Antigua? 76.236.191.27 ( talk) 02:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I have hidden the Simple English link for now, since it's still in the userspace and is almost exactly the same as the English article. I don't think we're supposed to link to userspace interwikis. Please wait until the article has been simplicified and moved to mainspace, then un-hide the interwiki link. Thanks. ~ A H 1( T C U) 01:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
I can't update the article for several more hours as I'm going to be away from a computer. I will continue the expansion later today when I get home. Cyclone biskit 13:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
And again, I don't know why there is no peak intensity images, since visible satellite can't capture the storm at night, why does it strength so fast and same with the weakening, one day earlier it was cat 1 and later was a cat 2 and looked like a frontal low, should there be a infrared image at peak intensity (not main image) the one it pass Leeward Is. don't show an clear eye, cat 1 image is far alike the peak intensity image.

You are telling me a long-liuved major hurricane that was a FAC should be merged? Aso i have intrest in storms that did not effect land. Also,Hernan was at one piont this short, but that was nearly two mouths ago.

I only have a partial interest in storms which don't affect land, like with Hurricane Linda in 1997, because although that storm didn't affect land, it's extreme intensity catches my attention, but storms like Karina this year, don't. 76.235.166.14 ( talk) 22:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, it's been more than a month since this storm struck, and this article hasn't been expanded whatsoever. Is anyone out there going to expand this or what? 76.235.165.167 ( talk) 03:43, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
So it will take time to get expanded because other articles are being expanded? It says that Omar caused 35 million in damage to Dominica and 11 million to Antigua. That could go in the impact section; otherwise there is no need for that, just for an expansion idea. 76.235.165.167 ( talk) 03:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
You're wrong, Julian. We can expand them all, but it will take a very long time to do it. 76.235.165.167 ( talk) 15:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, I guess you're right on that. We could expand it soon, or now; it says thad Property damage in Dominica totaled to 35 million, and agricultural losses in Antigua totaled to 11 million. Both are backed up by references, and could be put in the impact section now, but as you said, we have tons of articles, and Omar will take some time to get to. 99.156.30.47 ( talk) 13:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Damage reports are still coming out. The Virgin Islands, ABC's, and other areas. I'm not sure if it should be expanded now though... 76.236.191.27 ( talk) 02:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
On the impact section of this article, it says "While the trade winds usually blow from east to west, and all major beaches lie on the Leeward side west of the ABC Islands, on October 14, Omar brought strong westerly winds which caused severe damage on the coasts, including a lot of power outages and downed trees. One direct death was confirmed in puerto Rico due to Omar." Shouldn't the direct death be put in the section with Puerto Rico's impacts from Omar rather than in the ABC Islands section? 76.235.217.70 ( talk) 16:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Good point. I changed it. That shouldn't be here because it does not coorilate to that part of the impact section. This should be the case with all storms in the season, if there are any others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.217.70 ( talk) 17:19, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

It just says Barbuda's damage was 18 million, what about Antigua? 76.236.191.27 ( talk) 02:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I have hidden the Simple English link for now, since it's still in the userspace and is almost exactly the same as the English article. I don't think we're supposed to link to userspace interwikis. Please wait until the article has been simplicified and moved to mainspace, then un-hide the interwiki link. Thanks. ~ A H 1( T C U) 01:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
I can't update the article for several more hours as I'm going to be away from a computer. I will continue the expansion later today when I get home. Cyclone biskit 13:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
And again, I don't know why there is no peak intensity images, since visible satellite can't capture the storm at night, why does it strength so fast and same with the weakening, one day earlier it was cat 1 and later was a cat 2 and looked like a frontal low, should there be a infrared image at peak intensity (not main image) the one it pass Leeward Is. don't show an clear eye, cat 1 image is far alike the peak intensity image.

Radar may also be good as a thumbnail in the impact section. [7] Hurricane Typhoon Cyclone 04:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
