I assume this would be the best place to post this. I am building a personal hurricane archive and was wondering if anyone had any radar images from storms prior to 1991 and would be willing to help add to my archive. I have pretty much all the big ones (most of the retired ones from the 60s/70s, as well as Allen and Alicia, and Danny/Elena/Gloria/Kate in 1985, and Hugo in 1989)
So if anyone may have anything from the 50s-80s, especially the lesser known or weaker storms (and non-listed ones from the 80s) it would be appreciated.

Re: Radar imagery request
Wikpedia is an excellent source for some old radar photos, but since it's pretty easily accessible I've honed in on some harder to find images. Will continue to search if I have time. The Hong Kong Observatory's old reports (which can be found at http://www.hko.gov.hk/publica/tc/tc1970.pdf, for example) is a great place to find some radar scans from Hong Kong during some typhoons (but expect them to be pretty badly scanned). Enjoy!
