• "Additionally, were four suspected tropical depressions," - Word swap.

• How about I add "there" instead?--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "The strongest and most notorious tropical system of the season was the second tropical storm, which peaked as a Category 3 hurricane." - Awkward to refer to it as a tropical storm (specific term) when it was a Cat 3 hurricane.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "Most of the buildings in DeQuincy and Westlake were leveled, with the latter described as "a scene of desolation"." - Period always goes inside quotations.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "A tropical wave developed into the season's third tropical storm just east of the Windward Islands on August 22." - Wikilink tropical wave.

• Done--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "While the storm passed south of Barbados, winds reached 48 mph (77 km/h) from the southeast." - Sustained or gusts?

• Sustained--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "Early the following day, the storm briefly re-emerged into the Caribbean, before making landfall near Monkey River Town, Belize." - Second comma unnecessary.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "The cyclone quickly weakened over land and dissipated on by 12:00 UTC on August 26." - Extra word.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• No impact from Two?

• Meta suggests the storm could have been weaker than hurricane status while moving across Honduras and Belize. Plus it also seems to suggest that the area might have been rather sparsely populated--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "A low pressure area developed into a tropical storm by 06:00 UTC on August 23," - Always need a hyphen for "Low-pressure area"

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "The system continued weakening,[3] before merging with a frontal system about 125 mi (200 km) east-southeast of New Jersey at 12:00 UTC on August 26.[2]" - Comma isn't necessary.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "A low pressure area of non-tropical origins" - Need that hyphen.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "while many boats are swamped or blown aground." - are --> were

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• I don't think we need to note the reasoning for estimated winds/pressure in any of these sections.

• Hurricanehink usually makes me include that info. But if you insist, I will remove that--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "The remnant extratropical storm struck Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, before dissipating over the latter on September 8." - No comma.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "The first developed in June from a trough of low pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and moved westward across Florida." - If it developed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, Florida is to the east, not west.

• You think I didn't know what? :P --12george1 (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

• "While tracking northwestward, the depression experienced little change in intensity, and made landfall in Louisiana three days after formation." - No comma.
