Maybe.
We missed some things since last time. These were:

Maybe. Okay that's (still) true, so I'm gonna have to apologize for that. Unfortunately I got caught up with some leftover college work — including some which I have yet to start — which prevented me from working on the editions here. Again, my deepest of apologies — but if you want to participate in HHWN, feel free to join our contributors team and suggest stuff!

Maybe. Okay that's true, so I'm gonna have to apologize for that. I've been working on a lot of stuff lately — from college to my stories to other programs (e.g. TrackGen) — that I didn't have time to send an edition here lately. My deepest of apologies, which is why we're having a longer edition today!

We're back, eeryone! To those who don't know, this is a contest between the two basins, who try to collect more points than their opponent. The more storms there are and the stronger they get, the more points are generated. This year's contest is being hosted by the honorable Bobnekaro, also known as Bobbeh, Billy Nakaro, Triggered Blob, or whatever the hell Banker Boo was meant to be.
Last year's winner was East Pacific, who won 53-39, its biggest lead in over 5 years. In 2022, the East Pacific defeated the Atlantic 38-28, its first win since 2018, after a narrow 38-35 defeat in 2021 and a 64-31 landslide defeat in 2020 to t…

Does anyone remember the Atlantic vs. Pacific hurricane contest? Well, it's back! To those who don't know, this is a contest between the two basins, who try to collect more points than their opponent.

This is true. I'd like to apologize — just like last month, I also spent most of yesterday afternoon and night working on a college assignment. It was an important part of my grade and really needed to be done, but we're back now!
Today's the birthday of Monsoonjr99, a former administrator, and Rosa, a user of the wiki (and former POTC) - happy birthday Monsoon and Rosa! Meanwhile, several users are celebrating their birthdays in May, and the HHWN team wishes them a happy birthday in advance! You are all amazing, and we appreciate y…

This is true. I'd like to apologize — I spent most of yesterday afternoon and night working on a college assignment that isn't due until next week, and I haven't finished yet, but is an important part of my grade and needed to be done (even if just a bit). Again, my apologies, but back to normal programming!

Wow. 80 editions is an impressive number, there's no other way to put it. The original HHW News, by the honorable Money Hurricane (MH) had less than a dozen editions, for example. I recall a friend and former colleage of mine, FM Cube (Cube), putting in his New Year Predictions (for 2022) that HHW News would reach 80 editions before the end of the year, given how many special editions we had done back then. (He was 30 editions short; we ended at 50 editions.
Still, any threshold is an achievement to me. I'd like to, once again, thank all…

Maybe. Unfortunately I got caught up with some issues on the 28th, especially those regarding TrackGen and the abomination known as my fork of Monsoonjr99's Cyclone Simulator, when I found out I was very smart and wiped out an entire file two weeks ago without noticing it. My bad.
There were a few user rights updates in the last two weeks:
- Finolian (Alex), who was promoted to junior administrator a little over two weeks ago, announced her sudden departure from the administration due to personal issues. We respect her decision, and would like to thank her for serving the community for so long!
