A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 12, 2008. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Tropical Storm Karina* is currently the shortest-lived storm in the 2008 Pacific hurricane season?*

Again, very good! --Rose09 ^Rashmi ^Next 19:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very well-detailed and in-depth storm history, despite what a boring and short-lived storm Karina was. Just one nitpick: this sentence, However, it is possible that Karina never reached tropical storm status as it is not noted in the season summary supplied by the National Climatic Data Center did not mention the storm is weird, and I'm not entirely sure of what it's saying. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone

In the NCDC reference link, it has the season statistics for the EPac storms, but if you look closely, the K named storm is actually Kika, not Karina. It doesn't include tropical depressions so 05E wont be shown. The list is as follows-

Alma, Boris, Cristina, Douglas, Elida, Fausto, Genevieve, Hernan, Kika, Iselle, Julio, Lowell, Marie, Norbert

No Karina in the list. Hope that explains it. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kika is the central Pacific name, and Karina is the eastern Pacific name.71.147.51.233 (talk) 22:57, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know, they lump the two basins together, so there should be two "K" names. But there is only Kika. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
