This article needs some "Hurricanes in XXX" categories for its caribbean strikes. But there are so many caribbean locations, I find it hard to make all these categories work together properly. — jdorje (talk) 18:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
My school nurse lived somewhere in the caribbean durring this storm and she claims she say hundreds of people dead, it is posible they never learned of these deaths?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Silence Knight (talk • contribs)
Somebody edited with dubious claims on Hurricane Luis, one claimimg a 98 foot monster wave happened in connections to Hurricane Luis. Also, whosoever edited this article was using questionable grammar, and some of the edits may be vandalism or dubious edits at the least. Can someone please cleanup Hurricane Luis-the grammar, substandard edits and unsource claim are unneeded and are making this article appear nonreliable. 173.26.80.178 (talk) 00:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I can personally attest to the tidal wave. My submarine was coming out of Halifax the night the thing rolled over us. It knocked us 150 feet underwater with our upper sail hatch open. We took on about 10,000 gallons of water. I've never been so seasick in my life. It was a miracle no one died.Daveamee (talk) 04:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)daveamee
Can someone re-rate this article. I doubt this article is really a stub, it too long to be a stub and it also has too many references to be a stub. Anyone agree to re-rate the article? --12george1 (talk) 02:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
I removed the second part of the sentence:
"The hurricane killed nine people (two in the French side and seven in the Dutch side), and possibly 1,000 people drowned in the lagoon according to some sources."
The statement is vague, there is no source given, and it contradicts the death toll in the article. If there is a source, please feel free to put it back in the article. Kachyna(talk) 00:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I was wondering about the original intensity of Hurricane Luis. There's this site called "Stormpulse" that I go to often, and I was going through Luis' track. The intensity they have is 150mph winds and 935 millibars pressure. I just wanted to make sure that y'all knew about this, because I don't like Wiki to be wrong. Thanks, --Ryder 03:11, 15 August 2011 (UTC) talk
Excuse the extremely long revival, but he’s actually correct. Luis’s TCR does indeed state it was 150/935, and we were oblivious to the fact for several years. That link is botched and I don’t think that was the correct one. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 19:17, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
I could e-mail Chris about Luis and see if it's a transcription error of some sort. The TCR should not be at odds to HURDAT2. When this occurs, the TCR is normally correct. Thegreatdr (talk) 03:50, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that the storm track image and article text appear to be contradictory. The text says that the hurricane made landfall in Newfoundland at category one intensity, just before extratropical transition. However, the track image appears to show Luis making landfall at category 3 intensity as a extratropical cyclone. Can anyone verify which is correct?
