1a

 * Lead
 * Veracruz → Veracruz, Mexico
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "with at least 25 boats sinking, with several people drowning after" → it reads weird repeating "with" maybe split into two sentences: "In early October, the sixth cyclone brought damage to Inagua in the Bahamas. At least 25 boats sunk, with several people drowning after one vessel capsized.

 * Hurricane 1
 * (165 km/h) – equivalent → (165 km/h) which is equivalent
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hurricane 2
 * "Existed in the northwestern Atlantic in the middle of August, the only evidence of the storm was reports from two vessels in the vicinity of bad weather." → "It existed in the northwestern Atlantic in the middle of August with the only evidence of the storm being reports from two vessels in the vicinity of bad weather."

 * Hurricane 3
 * "winds were estimated" → "winds are estimated"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hurricane 4
 * Partagás - in the lead you don't have the accent on the "a"; keep it consistent
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "As with the previous hurricane, no track existed for this storm until the 2000 HURDAT," - you say in H3 that the track was developed in 1995
 * I think 1995 is correct. There's nothing to indicate in the sources that the track was created in 2000.--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hurricane 5
 * "September 18, newspaper accounts" → "September 18, using newspaper accounts"

 * "reemerged" → "re-emerged"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "into the" → "in the"
 * I think that should stay as it is. It would be like saying "I walked into the forest"--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "continued toward the" → "continued towards the"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "prior passing" → "prior to passing"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Unlink "Mobile" in the second paragraph as you linked it the first
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "After a wharf was flooded, causing authorities to warn residents to seek higher ground." → "After a wharf was flooded, authorities warned residents to seek higher ground."
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "The trains were" → "The train system was"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "at least $10,000" → "at least US$10,000"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "With over" → "With the storm causing over"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Tropical Storm 7
 * "suffered similar a fate" → "suffered a similar fate"

 * "into extratropical cyclone" → "into an extratropical cyclone"
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * General
 * In quite a few of the paragraphs you refer to "Category 1" or "Category 2" storms. Normally we spell out numbers 0-9 per MOS:SPELL09. Is there a special reason why you haven't? If not then they should be spelled out. - Yellow Dingo&#160;(talk) 07:56, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It should stay as "Category 1" or "Category 2". It's similar to things like Magnitude 5 earthquake or F4 tornado.--12george1 (talk) 21:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
