"There were nine tropical storms, of which five became hurricanes, while two of those strengthened into major hurricanes, which are Category 3 or higher on the modern day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale." - split, too long :P

"The first system, Tropical Storm One" - don't really need to call it that. It wasn't called that operationally, and it isn't called that in literature. Ditto the last storm.
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"September 3 - September 4" - either make this a dash, or say "September 3 through the following day"
Used the latter option--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"nicknamed the 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane" - we already got that it's 1899. Don't think that the year is needed here (ditto the Carabelle hurricane).
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"A post-season analysis of this storm indicated that it was the longest-lasting Atlantic tropical cyclone on record. " - that's false, since it was the longest
How is this wrong? It doesn't say "was one of the longest-lasting Atlantic tropical cyclones on record."--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

"Impact was reported along much of its path, including in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and the Azores.' - why don't you just say "The path impacted the Lesser......."

" contributed to an ongoing flood event in Texas." - think you can change this to "in the state", since it's established it's Texas.
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"12,000 square miles (31,000 km2) of land was " - was--> were
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"At Hearne, the flood's highest recorded stage, water rose above every rain gauge." - not sure what this means
I'll just ditch that part about the "flood's highest recorded state".--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"The next storm, known as Hurricane San Ciriaco" - why would you link it again?
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"Shortly after moving inland, it weakened to a Category 2 hurricane at 0600 UTC on August 18, six hours before falling to Category 1 intensity" - do you need both SSHS intensities here?
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"Between August 26 and September 1, the storm did not differentiate in intensity. Though by September 2, it began re-strengthening while turning southeastward." - merge sentences
Better?--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Watch for your wording in the 2nd paragraph of the San Ciriaco hurricane. This backs up it being the longest-lasting, at 27.75 days (more than Ginger).
So which one is right?--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"which estates suffered considerable damage." - not sure what you were going for
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"which estates suffered considerable damage. Nearly all estates were destroyed on Saint Croix. " - this seems redundant
Better?--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"strong winds and waves sank 50 small crafts, most of them were at Andros" - get rid of the "were"
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"Because the "entire island" was inundated " - what island?
Hatteras Island--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Link HURDAT?
Are you talking about in Hurricane Five? Sorry, HURDAT was already linked in the lede.--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"20°N, 84.1°W" - this isn't useful
Removed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
"In the city of Black River" - since this opens a paragraph, you should clarify the country. Ditto with "Wrightsville Beach" and state
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
" Yallahs, Saint Thomas Parish, Jamaica" - bit too much specification here
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
" It continued weaken" - grammar
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
The structure for "Tropical Storm Ten" is odd. You have one paragraph for MH, and then the next one is a mix.
Paragraphs are a bit asymmetrical, but I think it should be better now.--12george1 (talk) 05:43, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Overall pretty decent! Lemne know if there are any questions. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  05:11, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Looks good now, passing. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  21:19, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
