"moving westward into a small hurricane, and it crossed over southeastern Cuba on September 13." - Do you need the comma between "hurricane" and "and"?
- It helps with the flow. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Afer reaching the Gulf of Mexico, Hilda strengthened to" - Typo; "Afer" -----> "After"
"The storm killed 300 people and caused over $120 million (1955 USD) in Mexico." - Does that mean that all money values are in 1955 USD? Yes, I am saying that you should add the note to this.
"The origins of Hurricane Hilda were from an easterly wave,[1] which spawned a tropical depression over the northern Lesser Antilles late on September 10.[2] By the next day, the system was producing winds of 46 mph (74 km/h) in squalls.[3] After moving to the northwest, it turned more to the west and quickly intensified.[2] On September 12, Hilda attained hurricane status" - So Hilda went from tropical depression status to a hurricane, without becoming a tropical storm first?
- The second sentence says the 46 mph. I couldn't find a source that explicitly says exactly who named the storm and when, so I didn't include it becoming a TS. Does that makes sense, or do you think it's needed? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" Winds in the city reached 105 mph (169 km/h), and the eye was observed for 45 minutes. The lowest pressure in Tampico was 952 mbar (28.1 inHg)." - When was all of this? The preceding sentence says "Early the next day", so it is unknown when this occurred.
- Added. You're right, the day of landfall should be in there somewhere. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For the "See also" section, isn't there some similar storms you could add to that list? Like Hurricane Janet, Hurricane Inez, Hurricane Beulah, Hurricane Caroline (1975), or even Hurricane Gilbert or Hurricane Dean?
- Good call. I didn't add any of those, instead the 33 Tampico storm. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, nice job Hurricanehink. Can't believe you did all of this in about 10 hours, literally.--12george1 (talk) 15:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hah, same. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
