	To-do list for Hurricane Rita:	edit  · history  · watch  · refresh
Here are some tasks you can do: Storm history needs to be rewritten, with records and trivia elsewhere Everything needs sources Florida preparations Impact section should be chronologically by location

[edit] Rita TCR updates

[edit] Start class

Yes, this article is still start class, due to the overall lack of organization and sources. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sub-articles?

I think that several sub-articles should be made: Meteorological history of Hurricane Rita, Effects of Hurricane Rita on Florida, Cuba (those two could be merged), Louisiana, Texas and Hurricane Rita tornado outbreak (which for the most part covers other areas) should be made. CrazyC83 01:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

No need for Cuba, IMO. Rather than an article for the tornado outbreak, what about having a generic article called Effects of Hurricane Rita by region, which would include detailed impact on Mississippi and Arkansas. This is similar to how Katrina is handled. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Such was suggested because the outbreak produced up to 62 tornadoes (although some research is needed) and caused fatalities, which would together be article-worthy on its own if it wasn't connected to a hurricane (per WP:MWE standards). CrazyC83 13:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The main problem I can see is that the tornado outbreak would overlap with the other sub-articles. If a good tornado article can be created without overlapping with the Louisiana and Texas articles, I suppose it would be a good idea. Hurricanehink (talk) 14:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
