"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

Hurricane 2

Hurricane 4
Partagás - in the lead you don't have the accent on the "a"; keep it consistent

"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)

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)

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 (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)


### Final
Nice work so far. Putting this on hold. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:56, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
