Ok, the article looks pretty good to me, seems well written and covers the main aspects. A few small comments and requests I made some copyedits and tweaks to prose, hopefully all are Ok. I'm not much of a meteorologist though, so I can't say much about the technical aspects. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:31, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the review and copyedit, looks great. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ok, I'm satisfied with the fixes and explanations. I'll pass this now. Good work! Mark Arsten (talk) 18:54, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Some repetition of "deadly" here: " produced deadly flooding in the wake of a deadly flood season".
- Changed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Kammuri killed 153 people, most of them related to the remnants" I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.
- A storm's remnants is what's left after the circulation dissipates. Imagine a storm moving over land, and how all of its leftover moisture would cause flooding. That was the case here. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the lead image caption, consider stating which body of land it was over at the time.
- Good call! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Meteorological history

"estimated peak 10 minute sustained winds" Should "10 minute" be hyphenated here?
- Yea, you're right, my bad. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Shortly thereafter, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)[nb 3] followed suit by initiating advisories on Tropical Depression 17W,[5] and the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) began issuing advisories early on August 3." Is there a good way around the repetition of "advisories" here?
- Easy enough. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The remnants were absorbed by a cold front." Do you know when or where this happened?
- The ref did not specify. ಠ_ಠ --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Preparations, impact, and aftermath

"Kammuri dropped heavy rainfall in Hong Kong that reached 280 mm (11 in) in Kwai Chung" Might want to note what "Kwai Chung" is, a town?
- Good catch. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Similarly, Shantou Waisha Airport was closed for four hours, causing 10 flights to be delayed or canceled.[2] Heavy damage was reported in three coastal cities.[2] Two small electrical dams were destroyed by the storm, causing additional flooding." Some repetition of "causing" here.
- Tweakage. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest breaking the paragraph that begins "Neighboring Fujian Province to Guangdong" in two.
- OK. I didn't think it was that long, but structurally it makes sense now. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Widespread areas lost power or water, and two people were electrocuted in Shantou." Is there a connection between the two halves of the sentence?
- Sort of implication about the power being related to the electrocutions, but I'll change it. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"14 reservoirs surpassed their capacity" This was in Hunan, right? Also, might want to avoid starting a sentence with a number like this.
- Yea, gotcha. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Might want to note when the events of the last paragraph occurred.
- Clarified it happened during the storm. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References

Double check for names that need to be italicized. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:31, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Which ones would have to be? I'm sorry, I always get a little confused by the italicization. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:50, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
