  • "Afterwards it quickly weakened over land, before dissipating on September 23 over eastern Kansas." - Comma after "Afterwards".
  • "A ship reported a minimum central barometric pressure of 999 mbar (29.5 inHg) just prior to the storm's intensification into a hurricane." - Probably better suited in the Preparations and Impact section as opposed to the Meteorological history section.
  • "Continuing to intensify in the gulf, the hurricane attained Category 2 hurricane intensity at 0000 UTC on September 22, and subsequently reached its peak intensity with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h) and an estimated minimum pressure of 975 mbar (28.8 inHg)." - Gulf should be capitalized.
  • "The hurricane later made landfall at peak intensity near Houma, Louisiana at 0100 UTC later that day with maximum winds spanning 32 mi (51 km) from the center." - This sentence is worded strangely.
  • "Interurban railways also evacuated people out of the island,[7] with an estimated 4,500 people being evacuated from the island." - Repetition with "the island".
  • "The United States Coast Guard were ordered to be ready for immediate service in the event of an emergency,[9] while the US National Guard on strike duty in Galveston's Camp Hutchings were transferred to a barracks in Fort Crockett.[8][7]" - References should be in order.
  • "Along the coast and further inland, rainfall was concentrated primarily on the eastern half of the cyclone, with most of the rainfall occurring from September 21 to the 23rd." - Repetition with "rainfall".

Otherwise, I do not see anymore problems. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 18:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
