Assessment

Start-class. In order for this to be B-class, storm history and impact need copyediting for grammar and usage concerns, and expansion would be helpful if at all possible. --Core desat 00:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is pretty good, but I have only three qualms:
- I think that you could expand more on the impact of Floyd in the lead, and likely be able to split it into two paragraphs.
- Any impact in Cuba?
- Is there any explanation to the lack of significant damage?

Well, the article does explain how the storm basically fell apart while it was affecting Florida. I don't say it explicitly, but I think the reader can garner that the storm hit the fan and thus didn't cause much impact. That also goes with the lede. I really didn't want to go on with the same boring stats in the lede since there was so little impact. I thought it'd just be better having one paragraph. I found a few Spanish sources on Floyd, but all of them just mention that the storm did cross Cuba. There were also references to Floyds in other seasons, as well as Pink Floyd, but alas... --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:02, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Otherwise I am satisfied with the article. Therefore, I will be passing this article. Good job,--12george1 (talk) 23:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
