"The second storm, known as the Jamaica hurricane" - who called it that? Ditto the other two. Unless they were actually called that, just pipe the link to something like hurricane striking Jamaica or something

I called it that. Wait, the other two were called Ditto? :P--12george1 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"This was the most hurricanes in a season since there were 8 hurricanes in 1893." --> "This marked the most hurricanes in a season since the total of eight in 1893." - this way it reads better

"Reanalysis also resulted in the eighth cyclone being downgraded from a Category 2 hurricane to a tropical storm" - how come you don't mention this in the section for TS 8?

Good question :P --12george1 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"before turning ~~to the~~ northeastward"

"Around 12:00 UTC." - this is kinda on its own. Was it for the previous sentence or the latter?

Previous sentence. I just a period. Way too. Early. :P --12george1 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"A tropical storm was first observed about 835 mi (1,345 km) northeast of Cayenne, French Guiana, early on August 6" - not sure if half of the readers have ever heard off French Guiana, and maybe 5% have heard of Cayenne. Isn't there a better location you could provide, that people would know better?

Fixed. Too bad assume stupidity is about conflict among users :P--12george1 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Link Sable Island

Done--12george1 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

" In North Carolina, poor weather conditions in Kitty Hawk prevented the Wright brothers from flying their glider or assembling the untested airplane." - cool!
"Seventy telegraph lines were also damaged after a conduit flooded." --> "A flooded conduit damaged 70 telegraph lines." - cleaner

Change the links in the "See also" to something more useful, such as the contemporaneous EPAC season perhaps? Or to other similar seasons?

All in all a good article, this should be an easy one. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm finished. Thanks for the review.--12george1 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
