Nice article, Hink. Here are a few comments

"Hurricane Paine in 1986 contributed to one of the most significant flooding events in Oklahoma history" no need for 1986
"By that time, Paine had attained peak winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), and it weakened slightly before hitting the Mexican state of Sonora." it should be replaced with but.
Any preparations from Roslyn?

Ill have more later, that is it for now. Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone 19:31, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I thought it'd be good to establish the year as soon as possible. Normally that happens in the first sentence. Do you still think I should remove it? Good call about "and --> but", and no, I couldn't find much of anything in Mexico on Paine. That's where the typical hurricane preparations would've been (evacs, whatnot). Likewise, I couldn't find good preps for inland US. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:38, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good. Here are some more comments.

with winds of 90 mph

metric units?

over an area of 82.9°F

metric units?

The flooding event caused $350 million in damage,

year?

half of which to agriculture

I reckon there is a word missing *what about the adding the Costliest Pacific hurricanes to the article?

wait for renaming the article because we do not have a WP:TROP consensus (I plan to write an article for the other Paine soem day). Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone

That's it for this round. As a recommendation, when this article passes replace it with one. Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone 22:25, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I addressed all of that. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I bolded the stuff you did not do. I am sorry if I confused you. Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone 23:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there is no specific damage total for Paine, only for the larger rainfall event, so I opted not to include that template. Hurricanehink (talk) 00:56, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great job. Ill read it once more to see if there is no more issues. If not, then you have another GA. Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone 14:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Last, but not least

one of two cyclones in the basin that warranted aircraft data

which storm? Newton? Roslyn? Y E ^Tropical ^Cyclone 14:26, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Gotcha, it was Newton. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Time to pass. I apologize for not making this GAN one day (homework and writing articles is more important than this). YE ^Tropical ^Cyclone 16:17, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - No prob, thanks for the review! Hurricanehink (talk) 16:22, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
