Review

One thing I noticed just skimming the references is that some have a Y-M-D format while others are M D, Y. I will try to do the rest of this over the next couple days. Noah^Talk 03:26, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those references are part of Template:Highest ACE Atlantic hurricane seasons. I could change those dates to M-D-Y, but there are some articles with the Y-M-D format, so it won't match every article unless every article had the same ref format--12george1 (talk) 04:18, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I won't make you hassle with it, but there is probably a way of fixing it. Noah^Talk 02:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Collectively, the tropical cyclones were responsible for at least 3,363 deaths – the most fatalities in a single season since 2005. Most of the season's damage was due to hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Another notable hurricane, Nate, was the worst natural disaster in Costa Rican history. The names Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate were retired following the season due to the number of deaths and amount of damage they caused. I feel like this should come after the part about the number of storms. Noah^Talk 02:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Two fatalities from Cindy? Any details on them? Were they from the tornadoes or something else? Noah^Talk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Uh oh. Cindy's article says three. I've updated the numbers to reflect that Cindy caused three deaths. There was one death in Alabama when a boy was struck by a log pushed by a wave, one in Texas due to drowning, and another in Tennessee after a car skidded off a road and crashed into a pole--12george1 (talk) 05:00, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Damages please make this damage throughout the article. There are three occurrences of "damages" from what I have seen. Noah^Talk 02:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is now another issue in the same spot (a missing character or two I assume). Noah^Talk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at it on the editing mode and it took me like ten minutes to realize what you were talking about--12george1 (talk) 02:52, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After strengthening into a moderate tropical storm no such thing in this basin. Anyone familiar with the actual meaning of "moderate tropical storm" would be confused here. Noah^Talk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I reworded the sentence a bit and substituted "moderate tropical storm" with the landfall wind speed--12george1 (talk) 05:00, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Five hours after peaking in intensity with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a pressure of 981 mbar (28.97 inHg) early on the following day, Franklin made landfall in Vega de Alatorre, Veracruz. This is just awkward and vague. Early on the following day could technically be anywhere between 00 and 06. Noah^Talk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should be much better now--12george1 (talk) 05:00, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The cyclone rapidly weakened thereafter, and by 18:00 UTC on August 10, it dissipated as a tropical cyclone. I would avoid cyclone twice in the same sentence. Noah^Talk 02:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As the storm hit, severe floods occurred in Northern Ireland, with floodwaters reaching 4.9 ft (1.5 m), and over 100 people were rescued after being trapped by floodwaters overnight. The rescue is dependent on the flooding, so this sentence should be rephrased so it isnt as wordy... I will do more tomorrow night. Tired after a long work shift.

Harvey's remnants continued into the Bay of Campeche, where more conducive environmental conditions led to the re-designation of a tropical depression, around 12:00 UTC on August 23, and subsequent intensification into a tropical storm by 18:00 UTC that day. Remove the second comma and change "by 18:00 UTC that day" to six hours later. Noah^Talk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

attaining hurricane intensity by 18:00 UTC on August 24, Category 3 strength around 18:00 UTC on August 25, and Category 4 intensity by 00:00 UTC on August 26. Since the RI progressed rather quickly, is it nessecary to have Cat 3 mentioned since it hit Cat 4 just 6 hours later? Seems to me like too many category changes are mentioned.

Could you put refs 90-93 in a foot note so they don't chop up the sentence? It currently causes a readability issue since 5 total refs are in the middle of the sentence. Noah^Talk 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A westward-moving tropical wave developed into a tropical depression just west of the Cape Verde Islands early on August 30. Six hours later, the depression became Tropical Storm Irma.
