Todo

It's decent, but it's too disorganized to be called B class. Parts of the lede are incorrect: "the third Atlantic tropical cyclone to make U.S. landfall". Aside from being poorly-written, it's ambiguous to what it refers to. Third Atlantic tropical cyclone in history to make U.S. landfall? Third Atlantic tropical cyclone in history to hit Texas? It seems like it would be the third Atlantic tropical cyclone to hit the U.S. in 1971, but that's not true; only Doria hit the U.S. before Fern (Edith hit afterwards). Try and find some more impact. Also, it should probably be stated what the maximum rainfall amount was and where it happened. Keep working on it. It's a good start but still needs some more work.
