 * General note(s)
 * Made some copyedits and factual corrections here and there so the data jives properly. Please double check these.
 * If you haven't already, you should apply for membership at newspapers.com through Wikipedia. There's likely a reasonable amount of information that can be gleaned from newspapers which is not presently in the article.


 * Hurricane One
 * After initially directing north-northwestward, the depression accelerated and intensified into a tropical storm on the following day. – subjects don't match for the contrast the sentence is set up to provide. A later sentence shows no change in the storm's direction so the first part of this doesn't really make sense.

 * Tropical Storm Three
 * Based on weather maps and ship data, a tropical depression formed near the west coast of Africa on August 26. – Need to add "weather maps/data indicate(d)" or "is believed to have formed" (or something to that effect) to preface the formation of the TD.

 * Hurricane Five
 * An extratropical cyclone that developed offshore New England transitioned into a tropical storm on October 6 while situated about 325 mi (525 km) northwest of Bermuda. – More details on the movement and location of the precursor ET low is much desired.
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * After becoming tropical, the storm continued to move southwestward and approached the Southeastern United States. – In line with the above comment, there's no mention of previous movement so "continued" doesn't make sense here. There was also a major change in direction that needs to be addressed earlier with the ET segment.

 * Continuing the theme of more movement info, mention of the system practically stalling over the Carolinas is needed.
 * That cannot be determined--12george1 (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * The Georgetown Railway and Light Company and the Home Telephone Company suffered the worst damage. – And that damage would be...? This just leaves me hanging with nothing to grasp on to. Aforementioned usage of a newspaper archive could very well remedy this issue.
 * I do not have a newspapers.com subscription, but I searched about this and unfortunately, I think that's about as specific as I can get--12george1 (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

All-in-all a decent read, but very much needs attention from a newspaper archive. I'm placing the article on-hold for now to allow you time to address the above concerns. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 17:51, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
