"The 1949 Atlantic hurricane season was the last season that tropical cyclones were not officially named by the United States Weather Bureau.[1]" they were names then, but were not kept public. Change "offically" to "pubicALLY"

" nicknamed the 1949 Florida hurricane. " is this needed? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"seven drowning deaths on Barbados.[7] " "drowning deaths" is redundant, pick either one or the other. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 34 knots (39 mph, 63 km/h) " throw the knot usage of this project. Send it to USRD. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"measured by Diamond Shoals Lightship while located offshore Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.[6]" put a "the" after the "by". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"while rainfall up to 4 inches (100 mm) was observed." abbreviate "inches" to be consistent with the rest of the article. 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

" the storm rapidly strengthened over the warm sea surface temperatures of the Gulf Stream." SST's usually can't be considered "war". However, they are "high". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean they can't be considered "warm"? They can be considered cold, right? Btw, you said they can't be "war", so they put be "peace" :P --12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"strengthened to a hurricane later that day. The hurricane halted its forward motion and began to drift eastward. Continually intensifying, it became a major hurricane on September 6. The hurricane turned to the north on September 7, and after briefly weakening to a Category 2 hurricane, it re-attained major hurricane status. " you keep saying "hurricane" here. Change a few to "system", "it", or "Four". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"the storm had completed a cyclonic loop." what's that? A revolution of my face? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

", after exiting the Bahamas." you just mentioned that a few sentences above. 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

"Despite crossing Central America, no impact was reported in Honduras or Nicaragua" why mention it then? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
