Hi, TAM. I'll take this one. Cloudchased (talk) 19:47, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed some, but not all, of my concerns with this edit. Feel free to make changes or object to them.
- Checked over the fixes, though I objected to "faded into the ambient environment" being changed into "fading the ambient environment" which doesn't make sense to me. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"dissipated into a remnant disturbance" is redundant.
- Done - Switched to degenerated. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Heavy rainfall also took place" is a bit awkward. Maybe "The storm also produced heavy rainfall..." could work?
- Done - Yeah that works. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Additional rainfall in Mexico after Arlene became a tropical cyclone severely impacted" → "After Arlene became a tropical cyclone, rainfall in Mexico inundated"
- Done - TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Rainfall from Arlene interacted with a passing cold front to produce showers further northeast" – this seems to imply that the rainfall itself (i.e., raindrops) interacted with the cold front. Reword?
- Done - Yeah, that needed a reword. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Despite developing into a tropical cyclone" – the "despite" is strange here, and the sentence (or paragraph) could probably be reworded to remove it easily.
- Done - Looks like
What's with the <small> "(NHC)"?
- ✗ Not done - That's just a stylistic format that I use, but if it doesn't comply with some accessibility rule feel free to change. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"after as many as 4,000 homes were flooded, impacting roughly 10,000 people" – make sure that "impacting" refers to the homes, not the emergency plans (though both are true by extension)
- Done - Reworded.
"Arlene tracked over several offshore oil platforms as it tracked" – scratch one of the "tracked"s
- Done - Exchanged one of the tracked for passed
"along Padre Island, breaching sections of the barrier island" – er, but, Padre Island is a barrier island. Reword?
"losses to... for... of" – please just pick one. :P
- Done - Reworded
"Similar impacts occurred in the Corpus Christi area" – impacts as in deploying boats? (Read the previous sentence.) :P
- Done - Switched up with "Urban flooding"

Nice work! Just a few things left to fix, and once that's happened I'll pass this. \o/ Cloudchased (talk) 19:47, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments, I believe I fixed all of the qualms mentioned, but feel free to check again. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
