An image is needed to go in the infobox. Jdorje 01:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC) reply

Joel Chandler Harris has a very long article on this storm in Scribner's magazine in Feb 1894. Cornell has it online here

By all means quote it.

Surely there is more information on this storm? Needs structure. Jdorje 07:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC) reply

Now it needs more info on the impact. Jdorje 00:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC) reply

Where do you get those storm track images? Just asking juan andrés 21:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC) reply

I make them. Click on one and it explains how. Jdorje 21:07, 13 January 2006 (UTC) reply

I disagree with the fact that a citation is needed here:

This estimate is quite conservative, though, considering the large populations of poor rural African-Americans in the area who had little means of reporting casualties.[citation needed]

Let's look at this logically. Forget about the fact that whomever placed that there put African in front of Americans. I don't think it would have really mattered what the person's ethnicity was. What was the literacy rate in this area at the time? What means did families have to get to somewhere that they could report anything? In order to properly cite this fact it would need to be a dissertation of the grandest magnitude.

I feel the sentence fragment should either be removed or the request for citation should. JohnCub 01:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC) reply

• • • Question***

I have heard that this hurricane was the *last* one to make landfall in Georgia, and that while other hurricanes have affected GA, or have entered the state after making landfall in other states, there hasn't been an actual landfalling hurricane in Georgia since 1893. Can anyone confirm or deny? If true, that might be a worthwhile item to include in the main article. 204.86.42.50 ( talk) 22:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC) reply

Change "Negroes" to African Americans! That section quotes from an 1893 primary source; does not reflect modern usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajm8m ( talk • contribs) 01:53, 13 November 2013 (UTC) reply
