Todo[edit]

Not quite B class. The prose and structure is decent, but the info is a bit lacking. Good job so far, though. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

An admin needs to move this to Hurricane Ginny (1963). CrazyC83 (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"After approaching North Carolina, Ginny looped to the southwest and approached the Florida coastline within 50 mi (80 km)" — That sounds a bit strange; I think a better wording would be "Ginny looped to the southwest and approached within 50 mi (80 km) of the Florida coastline"
"The system initially moved generally northward, attaining gale force winds on October 19" — add a hyphen between "gale" and "force"
"The hurricane continued paralleling the coast of the Southeastern United States" — Sounds a bit strange, using the word "paralleling," but not a big deal.
"The rainfall was beneficial across the region,[1] ending a 28 day drought.[17]" — add a hyphen between "28" and "day"

That's it! HurricaneFan 25 22:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I got all of them but the paralleling. I do like that wording, personally, since "paralleling" is the gerund form of "to parallel", which is a perfectly legitimate verb. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:06, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me! Passing. HurricaneFan 25 23:11, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead suggestion[edit]

I think the lead should include what year this storm occurred in, because looking at the infobox may not be intuitive. Perhaps:

Hurricane Ginny of the 1963 Atlantic hurricane season was the latest Atlantic hurricane on record to affect the U.S. state of Maine.
