Hi Juliancolton. I will be reviewing this article this afternoon. Overall, it was a good read and a decent article that is nearly worthy of GA status. I have several issues that I would like you to fix or respond to first, but they are all minor--12george1 (talk) 22:39, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"It weakened into a tropical depression on June 9" - I think you should say "The storm"/"The cyclone" instead of "It", because you used that three times in the previous sentence
Would it be worth mentioning which hurricane broke the record set by this storm for the earliest major hurricane landfall in the United States? Or is that too trivial?
On what basis were the maximum sustained wind speed and minimum barometric pressure estimated? Usually one is a direct observation and the other is estimated via wind-pressure relationship
"In New Orleans, women and children working in factories" - You already linked New Orleans in this section
"approximately $800,000 to vessels based in Pensacola, Florida and $750,000 in Mobile." - Comma after Florida
"She was found floating upside-down off Pensacola on August 12," - Pensacola was linked in the previous paragraph
"where collectively 250,000 acres (100,000 ha) of farmlands was inundated" - Both acres and hectares were linked earlier in this sentence
"but Bonifay to the northeast recorded 24.5 in (620 mm) of precipitation," - You should mention that this was also the highest recorded rainfall total from the storm (per Schoner and Molansky)
Reference 29 needs |via=Newspapers.com and {{open access}}
I'm not sure if it's just my computer, but I can't access Reference 35. This link works fine, however

@12george1: - I took care of these issues to get the article out of the GAN queue. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 05:24, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Everything was either fixed or addressed, so now I am going to pass this article. Thanks for finishing this, TAWX--12george1 (talk) 01:22, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
