The lead indicated 9 people died in Nova Scotia and 4 people were shot, yet the infobox says only "10 direct". Shouldn't that be "9 direct, 4 indirect". YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, after reading the article, mention the 1 death in Jamaica in the lead. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is mentioned... And I wouldn't include the 4 people shot as indirect. They were shot and killed :/ --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"eaving over $1 million (1933 CAD) in damage." it did exactly $1 mil in 1933 CAD damage. 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
- Right, changed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Toward the end of September 1933, there was a large area of disturbed weather across the southern Caribbean Sea" to "Towards the end of September 1933, there was a large area of disturbed weather across the southern Caribbean Sea" YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Did all you change was add an "s" to "toward"? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" Beginning at 1600 UTC that day, the capital, Havana, observed the passage of the eye, where a pressure of 976 mbar (28.8 inHg) was reported." cut back on pressures here, this is the second time you mention it :P YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Removed the first one, not as important. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" although the strongest winds remained over water." how is that important? Most intelligent TC's like this one have their winds over water, not land if the LLC was over water. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sarcasm aside, I disagree with your sentiment. This was a major hurricane less than 50 miles from Florida. It could've been much worse, but since the strongest winds were not over land, a major catastrophe was avoided. This sets up for the impact later on, saying how little damage there was in Florida. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What was it's winds when it decided to turn ET? You go to peak intensity to dissipation like 2 lines :P YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Added that it still had hurricane force winds. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" there were no direct deaths in the country" why do you mention this then? If you menion this, why not mention the hurricane did not enter the WPTC IRC room when it was active? Why not mention it did it vote in the 1932 presidential election? We could go on forever on stuff that failed to happen, it's what did happen that matters. :P YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Har har. There were people shot in the country, so there were some deaths :P I was just clarifying that there were no deaths. Ordinarily, I wouldn't, but, the shootings, not to mention I have evidence that the evacuations prevented deaths. We don't have info that it didn't vote for FDR, nor do we have info that we had the internet in 1933. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" Key Wesdt." typo YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Cut back on winds observations, they are not that important. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:42, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sometimes that's the only impact that's available. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
