Lead

 * "It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean." Don't those dates limit the hurricane season? It seems like your using a double negative or something.
 * "Tropical Storm Alberto produced significant rainfall and flooding in the Southeastern United States, damaging or destroying over 18,000 homes, and inflicting heavy damage." I don't think and inflicting heavy damage is needed. If it damaged or destroyed over 18,000 homes, wouldn't be safe to assume that it cause heavy damage.
 * "Hurricane Gordon was the most significant..." Change to, "Hurricane Gordon was considered the most significant storm of the season..."

That's it for the lead. Looks fairly good besides that. RockManQ (talk) 03:03, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done with the first two points. As for the second one, it seems like a good idea, but "considered" would imply that a person actually said it was the most notable. In this case, it was clearly the most significant in that it caused the most damage of all the storms in the season. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  03:07, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Body
Forecasts and Activity:
 * "The low seasonal activity is attributed to the presence of El Niño." Could you explain what El Nino means; a very basic explanation, as I doubt most people know what an "El Nino" is without clicking on the link to the other page.

Storms:
 * "The depression slowed its forward motion, and dissipated the next day." (Eighth Depression) Over where? Belize? Mexico?

I've edited out most of the misspellings, tense changes, and otherwise small grammar mistakes. RockManQ (talk) 03:41, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks for the review and copyediting. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  03:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Sources and Conclusion
Ok, we're almost done :) The sources all check out. I'm going to review this for a couple more minutes, see if there's anything else that needs correction, but overall it look's pretty good. RockManQ (talk) 03:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
