I just drove through a heavy precipitation cell from an Alberto outer band in Miami and all I can say is it sucked. Great news for Central Florida I guess. (Sobesurfski 22:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC))
I knocked it down to a stub, but it's only temporary. It's good as it is, but it's a current event, and is bound to be changed a lot. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I also ranked it as Mid-important because of the reason above and that Alberto is bound to not become a hurricane. Funnybunny (talk/Counter Vandalism Unit) 00:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I have removed this from the "See Also" section again. List of notable tropical cyclones contains no information relevant to Alberto, and Alberto certainly is not currently a notable tropical cyclone. —Cuiviénen 02:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
For now, I've redirected it to the season page; if we're going to have current stuff on a non-major storm, we should handle it on one article. This article was about 90% a duplicate of what we have in the season article, and thus had no justification for its existence. If things get bad, or later, or whatever, maybe we can try again, but for now, let's concentrate in the season article. --Golbez 08:13, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree. We should think about the individual storm articles later on in the season (apart from storms which are clearly notable of course). Pobbie Rarr 19:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I think we should keep this the way it is until it fizzles out and decide then. --CFIF (talk to me) 19:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone mind checking if there's something horribly wrong with Hurricane Alberto means evacuation for Southern Florida residents at Wikinews? I found that article, it was in deplorable shape, and tried to fix it a little bit. Could I get a second read on it from someone else? Titoxd(?!?) 04:09, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't know how great of a fairuse claim it is, since it's not really talking about The Tampa Tribune, but I went ahead and added it anyway. Thoughts would be appreciated. (When I shrunk the front page, the newsprint looks as if it is blotched in certain spots, but the headlines read well). Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 10:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm wondering why the caption for the 5 day track has the date when the actual image has the date. The problem with the date on the caption is that it has to be updated when ever the image is updates, something that happens every 6 hours.Reub2000 16:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Alberto has lost tropical characteristics. However, do we still provide information using ((HurricaneActive)) or is that done? — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 14:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
http://www.wral.com/apncnews/9371346/detail.html A kid outside of Raleigh died in a flood due to Alberto. This storm was earlier than usual for a big tropical storm, we got heavy rain for two days in Charlotte from it. BobbyAFC
The graphic was constructed around midnight last night. I do have additional rainfall observations for Cuba, but have no way of sourcing it. One of our guys has relatives in Cuba, and received the information from them, which probably originated with their weather service.
The impact section should be in chronological order, and, if possible, be separated by area. Caribbean could be the first area, which should include the rainfall totals in prose, not table form. Florida would be the next sub-section, then Georgia/Carolinas. The storm history needs a copyedit, and sources if possible. The preparations section should be expanded to include some of the watches/warnings stuff. This is all needed for the article to be higher than stub class. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I've heard from meterologists here in Nova Scotia that this storm was going to be heavily researched, as it was extremely strong when it made landfall in Nova Scotia (Atlantic Canada) as a Tropical Despression. The Canadian Weather Office recorded winds gusts as high as 112 kph at Baccaro Point weather station (82kph sustained winds). The storm system also had a recorded lower pressue here (970mbar). This is very odd considering the water in our area is much colder. I'll add more information once I come across it. --Christian.elliott 18:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be a B-class? It follows all the guidelines for one. Or is it still a start because it's recent, or becasue there's like one [citation needed] in it? íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 16:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Alberto's TCR is out now: [1] It only mentions one indirect death. bob rulz 20:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
The article needs updating with NCDC info. Also, parts could use rewriting, due to it being written while the storm was active. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
If anyone is interested, there's more images from the Tallahassee NWS report and some North Carolina flooding images from the Raleigh NWS report. Hurricanehink (talk) 16:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, the NC ones are usable. The photo gallery says "those wishing to use photos on this website have permission to do so. However, please credit the individuals noted on the photo specific credits." Hurricanehink (talk) 01:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Good work everyone who did the work on this article.Mitchazenia 10:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Is it me? Or does 2018 Alberto's path look similar to 2006 Alberto's path? 2604:2D80:B58A:6B00:55FE:53BF:6DBD:1A17 (talk) 16:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
