"On June 7, ships in the Gulf of Mexico began encountering a low pressure area with a closed circulation about 100 mi (160 km) southeast of Port Eads, Louisiana.[4]" "began encourtering" sounds weird in this context since in those days, weather reports were heavily based on ships. IMO "reported a low pressure area" could work here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Some locations in eastern North Carolina reported strong winds, particularly at Fayetteville, there were was a "severe local storm".[4]" grammar error at the end of this sentence. This should be easy to fix though, as I could see a number of ways to fix this. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Impact was minimal, with the strongest wind speed reported being 37 mph (60 km/h) in Charleston, South Carolina.[4]" how is it impact if there was no damage since nothing was impacted per se. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess, but I think the observation should be kept.--12george1 (talk) 03:35, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

" A dance pavilion on Santa Rosa Island was partially deroofed, as was a hotel. Damage in Pensacola reached approximately $25,000. In Alabama, the city of Mobile in particular suffered impact from the storm. Some ships and vessels capsized in the Mobile Bay and Mobile River, including a $2,000 barge, drowning a watchman. Winds destroyed a church, though wind damage was otherwise limited to downed street signs and fences. Overall, the hurricane caused $39,000 in damage.[4]" in what year USD? 1912?

List of Atlantic hurricane seasons is a redirect. Normally, I'd let this go but since you do plenty of these type of articles, pointing it out here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
