Talk:Effects of Hurricane Charley in South Carolina

Todo
Solid B-class, and close to GA. I'd like a few more examples of specific damage. Right now, it is a good overview of the damage in the state, but it'd give it that extra push if you could find some more specific examples. For example, any monuments or important places damaged? All in all, good work. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm a little confused with the preps, in regards to TC watches/warnings. In fact, it doesn't mention any TS/H warnings. Could you rewrite the paragraph for better flow, with more emphasis on the (presumptive) warnings?
 * When peak winds are mentioned, be sure to specify whether it is gusts or sustained winds.
 * A total of 2,231 houses were damaged, with 2317 severely damaged and 40 destroyed. - this needs clarification. The conjunctive term "with" is unclear, as that could imply 2317 severely damaged was in the total of 2,231 houses damaged. Also, the next sentence has a MOS violation, as sentences are not supposed to start with a number in 123 form. That needs to be re-written.
 * Several businesses suffered broken windows, while about six hotels sustained roof and outer wall damage. - so does that mean six hotels in all of South Carolina had roof damage, or just in one particular area?
 * As dry air from northern sections of the state wrapped into the circulation of the storm, a band of convection developed along a frontal boundary stretching from Newberry northward. - this sentence is rather complex. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the sentence following it, and there's no mention in the article of any front.
 *  This led to $30 million (2004 USD) in hotel profit losses in Myrtle Beach, primarily along U.S. Route 17. - could this be clarified better? What does losses mean?
 * 2008 USD is needed for damage totals.

Merge?
It is news that I find another article to be merged. $20 million is not that much, thankfully no one died, it is only 14kB and there isn't an effects article for Florida. thoughts? --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 21:32, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Weakish support why are there so many articles for this storm in largely unaffected areas.. I like   hurricanes  21:33, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 *  Personally, we should have a Carolinas article, but worry about that sometime else. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 21:34, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Slight Lean towards oppose After looking at the article more, it is quite substantial as Jasper Deng said below, though his page could probably use some work. 🌀Weatherman27🏈 (chat with me!).  21:36, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose. I will support, but only if both SC and NC are merged into one article (or see Talk:Effects of Hurricane Charley in North Carolina).  SMB9 9thx   my edits  01:08, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is still a substantial article and this "merge merge merge" spree is getting somewhat disruptive.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:38, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment See WT:WPTC. I think we should step away from merges for 3-5 months, and focus on creating. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me!  12:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
