Since the Miami Heat lost, I will be reviewing this article. YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "The 1899 Carrabelle hurricane caused significant damage in Dominican Republic and the Florida Panhandle. The second tropical cyclone and second hurricane of the annual season, " what kind of season? Spring? Also, missing a "the" after the first "in". YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe it was basketball season :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * " "Great" damage was reported along coastal sections of the country, while a loss of telegraph service impacted most of interior areas." no need for comma in such sentence. YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * "In Florida, damage in the city of Carrabelle was extensive, where no more than a score of "unimportant" houses remained." what is a score? YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hint: it has nothing to do with the Heat vs. Spurs game. :P 5 score and 14 years ago, a hurricane struck northwestern Florida. :P Actually, another source I have says that only 9 houses remained.--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * "Many boats at the harbor and the wharfs in Lanark were wrecked. Large portions of stores and pavilions in the city were damaged. " have you ever heard of a semicolon? If so, combine these sentences with such feature. YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Never heard of a semicolon, but I do know what a score is :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * " Early on August 2, it weakened to a tropical storm and then a tropical depression several hours later, shortly before dissipating over southern Alabama.[2]" separate these two sentences. YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

 * "Three large schooners were wrecked at Santo Domingo; only one crew member on the three vessels survived." link to schooners, plz? YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I could only find a link to Schooner :P Actually, I instead wikilinked it in the lede.--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * "The city of Carrabelle was devastated, with only nine houses remaining." to "The city of Carrabelle was devastated as only nine houses in the city remained." YE Pacific  Hurricane

 * " According to the mayor, about 200 families were left homeless." Does the mayor have a name? Or did he go around with no name and wrote no name on his SAT papers? YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * First of all, that SATs were invented until 1926. :P Second, the source does not specify. Third, this was 1899, so it may never be known.--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * "The The New York Times stated that, "Carrabelle is literally wiped from the map.""double word. YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I am the one often accusing accusing you of doing doing that. :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * "One fatality occurred in Carrabelle when a house collapsed on a woman, Mary Williams; numerous other people in the area sustained injuries.[4] " we don't usually mention names of people affected by hurricanes unless notable (like Tim Duncan) :P YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Please see Bloody Mary :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * ". A 30 miles (48 km) portion of the Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Georgia Railroad was washed away." "miles" to "mile". YE Pacific  Hurricane 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
