I do not understand why this article speaks of the "shock" of such a strong storm. Everywhere I have looked has repeatedly stated how remarkably WELL forecast this storm was... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Famartin ( talk • contribs) 05:45, 24 April 2005 (UTC)
Why does it have to have such a complex, pseudo-scientific name for the title? Having lived through the storm (I was in Florida, dodging tornadoes), I can tell you that EVERYBODY called this the Superstorm. -- Kitch 11:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I definitely agree with such. It was the same system after all! CrazyC83 03:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I've made research on the web and able to produce a table of various snow amounts including the top amounts, amount on big cities and amounts in cities were snow is unusual. I've put one since some articles have listed storm amounts like this year's Valentine's Day blizzard in the northeast-- JForget 19:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Storm of the Century (1993) → 1993 Storm of the Century — More likely search term. – Juliancolton | Talk 04:39, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
I removed the reference to "the Perfect Storm" in this article as the writer erroneously thought that the book/movie referenced this 1993 blizzard, when in fact the book is about the 1991 Halloween "Perfect" storm (see wikipedia for entry). Marky1b ( talk) 20:32, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
There has been a significant rearrangement of material within the article. So far, nothing has been added, and very little has been removed. That which has been removed was meant to help the format of the article as a while, and bring it more inline with current wikipedia standards. It would be nice if someone can review the text, as I found much repetition within the article previously. Referencing would be helpful as well, which is what I'm working on right now.

Why is it that the only thing that the "aftermath" section talks about is delays in nascar races? I think that would be fairly minor compared to some other things that would have happened in the aftermath. In fact, are the delays in the nascar races even notable enough to be mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.12.243 ( talk) 08:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

The National Weather Service has created a new page for the Superstorm of 1993. The new link is http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ilm/archive/Superstorm93/. Page Author: Tim Armstrong; Page Created: Feb 23, 2013. I also cited the deathtoll to this new page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.195.179.49 ( talk) 14:37, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
This storm sunk a ship on its way out by Canada. This was featured in a documentary about this storm and a few others in the North Sea, Irish Sea area that sunk a ferry and wiped out a coastal town in the Netherlands in the 1950's. The article List of shipwrecks in 1993 lists the Gold Bond Conveyor as foundering in the "Storm of the Century 1993". In the documentary there was harrowing footage taken from a search plane of the ship foundering, driving under successive waves until it finally did not come up, while in radio contact all the while.

Storm of the Century is a really uncyclopedic, overly sensacionalist and non-meteorological term, so I think that the term should be dropped quickly. I think that the name should be changed for something similar to Nor'easters or Blizzards. ABC paulista ( talk) 03:10, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Phrase like "strong shortwave trough" and "moved eastward into the Gulf of Mexico along a stationary front" may not make sense to lay persons. If it's stationary, how can it be moving? Shortwave is a kind of radio???
Perhaps someone knowledgable on these terms could clarify?

Intro gives snowfall totals for mountains in NC (50") and TN (56"), but reverses the numbers farther down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:E21:4730:443A:A8F9:4321:A9C2 ( talk) 05:43, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
There is really no reason to use purely meteorological terms when discussing this event. It makes it unnecessarily difficult for a layperson, or someone unfamiliar with meteorology, to understand 2607:FEA8:FF01:6494:2D15:1EC5:BCD0:EFB6 ( talk) 13:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
