"Formation of an eye accompanied quick intensification and Belle reached its peak the following day with winds of 120 mph (195 km/h)" - Thrown in a "The" before "Formation"
"Thereafter Belle transitioned into an extratropical cyclone before moving over Atlantic Canada." - Comma after "Thereafter"
"A total of 12 people lost their lives, mostly incidents indirectly related to the hurricane, and damage reached an estimated $100 million." - Might want to add a note saying all damage totals are 1976 USD
"Portions of New Jersey, New York, and Vermont, were later declared major disaster areas by then-President Gerald Ford." - Don't need a comma after Vermont
"Early on August 7, the depression acquired gale-force winds and became a tropical storm." - Wikilink "gale"
"The cyclone turned northward and accelerated on August 8 while reaching major hurricane that evening." --> Add "status" after "major hurricane"
"With Hurricane Belle expected make landfall around high tide and a full moon, the forecast storm tide in rivaled that of Hurricane Donna in 1960." - need a "to" after "expected"
"Numerous flights in and out of New York were cancelled, Wall Street was closed and the United Nations postponed a meeting." - Comma after closed
"As The Red Cross reported that about 2,300 people evacuated Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and thousands of tourists left the area" - Sentence splice?
"Although on the weaker side of the storm, New Jersey saw the highest winds from Belle with an estimated peak gust of 90 mph (150 km/h) in Ship Bottom." - Comma after "Belle"
"Tides of 3–4 ft (0.91–1.22 m) above normal were common from North Carolina to Rhode Island." - What is a tide? (wikilink)
"Atlantic City, New Jersey saw the greatest tides at 8.85 ft (2.70 m) above mean low-tide while Battery Park in lower Manhattan saw a peak value of 7.2 ft (2.2 m) above mean low tide." - Comma before "while"
"Effects were similar in Connecticut where approximately 247,000 people lost electricity" - Period to end the sentence.

Otherwise, it looks good to me. I'll pass when the above are addressed.

I think I got all of the comments. Not sure what you were getting at with the first comment, but I don't see any issue with the sentence. Thanks for the review~! Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:18, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
