Definetly not a C, more storm history and impact (if found) -- Yue ^{of the North} 00:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC) reply

This was 1952. I'd honestly be surprised if any further information could be uncovered. – Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 01:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC) reply

There might be rainfall information for this system from NCDC. Let me see if Wake reported rainfall during this time frame. If so, I'll update the rainfall maxima page one evening late this week. I disagree about this article not reaching C class criteria, however. It is well-referenced, has the proper wikipedia article format, and has enough content for C class. One could argue B class, as it unlikely that any bulk of significant information (or missing sections) will be added from now on. Thegreatdr ( talk) 16:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC) reply

There is a general consensus for this article being C-class so I've upped it to C-class :) Cyclone biskit 18:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC) reply
