Talk:September 1948 Florida hurricane/GA1

Entry

The main entry/introduction/lead of this article is too long compared to the body. I question how such obvious and noticeable aspect was not discussed and also set as a good article. It is a good article but may not meet the criteria well. Please improve the article. Thanks.Continentaleurope (talk)

"The September 1948 Florida hurricane was the most intense tropical cyclone to make landfall in the state since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.[1]" winkilink to landfall (meteorology) in "landfall". You do this in all my GAN's now I return the favor :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I should practice what I preach :P --12george1 (talk) 13:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Over 700 buildings and houses were destroyed." a house is a "buildings", so that's redundant. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If damage was 2 mil in Cuba and 10 mil in FL, how is the damage the infobox 12.5 million? Do you need to re-take 2nd grade all over again? :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I copied and pasted the infobox from the 1948 Miami hurricane and forgot to change the damage toll :P--12george1 (talk) 13:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Almost 700 buildings and homes were destroyed.[8]" a home is a building, as said earlier. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

" 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m)" Why spell out "feet"? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oops :P--12george1 (talk) 13:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
