Hi, my name is HikingHurricane (on-wiki) and I am currently based in Ithaca, New York, where I am studying atmospheric science at Cornell University. I use he/him pronouns. I don't edit very often anymore, but when I do it's usually on tropical cyclone or winter storm articles. Off-wiki, I enjoy running, cycling, hiking, and photography. I am also a former gymnast.
My username was Qwerty325 prior to 1 December 2020 and HurricaneCovid from then until 24 June 2023, in case you clicked on my userpage unsure of who I was.
For updating the season article and hurricane articles, such as Eta, to keep our readers with the latest information. CycloneTobycontribs 17:52, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Well hello, I'm back again. I see haven't you gotten an award since I got one, and you really deserve an award for all the wonderful things you've done. Good job! Stay safe, CycloneToby 06:08, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diplomacy
Yup, that's right, THREE BARNSTARS! This is for being civil when people disagree with you. A lot of people get angry when their ideas get opposed. (I check talk pages) You really deserve these Barnstars man. ~~ 🏅🌀𝕾𝖚𝖕𝖊𝖗 𝕮𝖞𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖆🌀🏅 18:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

For your outstanding contributions to non-tropical cyclone articles recently, especially on North American winter storm articles, and also for creating those infobox templates for winter storms. I'm impressed. Great job! LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 22:17, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
