Worth linking Atlantic hurricane anywhere before "See also"?

"In 2011, the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project did not add any new systems during their review of the 1870 season. However, reanalysis by José Fernández-Partagás and Henry F. Diaz in 1995 led to the inclusion of seven previously undocumented tropical cyclones – the second, third, fifth, seventh, eighth, tenth, and eleventh storms." - these should be flipped IMO, so the first reanalysis in 1995 talks about the undocumented storms, and then the 2011 reanalysis.

"October became the most active month of the season, with six known storms forming. The last of which, the eleventh storm of 1870, was last encountered by ships in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on November 3." - I suggest switching "which" to "these" for grammar purposes

"In Cuba, the combination of sustained high winds, intensive rainfall, and two rivers, the San Juan and the Yumuri, bursting their banks destroyed the city of Matanzas and caused the loss of some 800 lives." - I think this is a bit much for one sentence, starting off the impact paragraph. I italicized the part that stood out grammatically

The nearby city of Cárdenas also reported major damage to warehouses and wharves and the destruction of several dwellings, with many more losing their roofs and otherwise suffering damage. - too many "and"s IMO

What was the basis for Chenoweth estimating Cat 5 intensity for the one Cuba hurricane? Pressure? Surge?

Seems to be because the storm apparently having a peripheral pressure of 914 mbar --12george1 (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it worth linking "bark" to barque? (the type of ship)

Wikilinked to bark (sound) :P --12george1 (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is in good shape, so I don't think any of the above should be too difficult to address. @12george1: let me know if you have any questions. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:27, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
