Failed GA

I failed the GA nomination based on the following review.

Well-written - Fail: Two typos, and overall prose is poor
Factually accurate - Pass, although there are some inconsistencies. Why does the NHC say 8 deaths, but another site say 13? Finding those other deaths would help.
Broad - Weak fail: Most of it is merely statistics. The preparations section only includes one sentence about actual preparations. Try not to be so listy in places. The watches/warnings section and much of the impact merely lists some facts about the storm. Was there any actual damage on Martinique or Guadeloupe? You go a bit into some damage in USVI, but for a billion dollar storm it is not comprehensive enough. Have you considered NCDC for Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands? Economic impact should be merged with impact, as well. Furthermore, there are no metric units, which is a standard of the Wikiproject for articles greater than B class.
Non-POV - Pass, a little hard to fail in a hurricane article.
Stable - Pass
Images - Pass - have you searched through FEMA's image archive? IIRC there are some good damage images of Marilyn in PR and USVI
