I heard on the news that once they pass the letter W on the naming system, the plan is to use the greek alphabet, e.g. Hurricane Alpha, Hurricane Beta. They also claimed that this has never been employed before: there have never been more than 21 storms that reached hurricane status in a given year. Can anyone else verify this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bryanmtmorrison ( talk • contribs) 19:02, October 18, 2005 (UTC).
Since the Miami Herald broke the news, it's safe to include in here. Thegreatdr 05:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
The phrase "face certain death" is notable in hurricane warnings and should be included in some hurricane-related article. 1900 hurricane changed Galveston _ and forecasting says that the phrase is "built in to the NWS [National Weather Service] software" and has been used twice in recent memory, for Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2008. I'm looking for thoughts on where to put mention this phrase. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 01:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
The big problem with this article is that it overly focuses on 10 people who work at NHC (the hurricane specialists who work operationally 6 months a year) and almost completely ignores TAFB, which works around the clock through the year. This imbalance must be rectified before the NPOV tag is removed. Thegreatdr ( talk) 00:10, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
For the sake of consistency, I need input on what to do with the list of names in this article. This article is extremely slanted towards the Hurricane Specialists Unit (HSU). The question is, to eliminate some of the POV, should we eliminate the names of the hurricane specialists or include the name of the TAFB forecasters? The TAFB product suite (effort-wise and time-wise throughout the year) dwarfs what the HSU does. If anything, we should have more information about TAFB than the HSU to have an article more reflective of their relative contributions. Thegreatdr ( talk) 12:35, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I concur as well. The quality of NHC is the result of team work both horizontally and vertically through time. It is bigger than any given individual or group thereof. This is what gives NHC depth and consistency. This is not meant to diminish important individual contributions which have undoubtedly been made but, rather, to consolidate it.

I was just googleing bits and bobs and found this interesting article that states that the NHC was created in 1956 - a whole 9 years before we claim it was set up Jason Rees ( talk) 03:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
The history section should be in good shape now. It would be great if we could find a picture of the IRE Financial Building/Gables One Tower for the article, which would nearly complete the photographic tour of the Miami Hurricane Warning Office/NHC. Other sections need filling out before a GAN run is done, most likely. Anything else missing?

Might be worth including a section on the Best Track Committee. Jason Rees ( talk) 16:11, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Should the article have a section on the NHC's role in the public eye? HLT seems to fall under that, but perhaps it should have its own section, with how the center operates beyond its official role of issuing warnings. Also its status as a government agency? (how it's funded) Budget operations, future plans, how many people it employs, whatnot. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 23:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
