Hmm, my edition of Longshore, 1998 refers to Ida as the "Kanagawa typhoon" while the Time article calls it the "Kanogawa typhoon", so I'm confused about which to trust. HurricaneFan25 16:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I changed it to "Kanogawa Typhoon", per the Digital Typhoon website. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  20:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I'll probably do finish this review by 23:00 UTC, but I might not have the time to do so. There's a bit of info from Longshore, 1998 that I might add to the article. I'm consulting it for this GA review. HurricaneFan25 16:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
And no, TAWX, you don't get to fix these for Hink.  HurricaneFan25 21:32, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality: 
A link to 1958 Pacific typhoon season in the lede wouldn't be harmful.
On September 22 Ida turned to the north A comma is needed here, right after "22". On September 22, Ida turned to the north
It became extratropical the next day Link extratropical to extratropical cyclone as not everyone knows what they are.
No pre-tropical cyclonegenesis in the MH?
However, over a 14 hour period Use a hyphen, not a non-breaking space. However, over a 14-hour period
Link UTC the first time you use it, not the second time you use it.
and at about 0500 "at about" sound strange. Reword it to something like and near 0500
The winds gradually decreased → Ida's winds gradually decreased
the Kano River flooding destroyed two villages along the Izu Peninsula Reword to the flooding of the Kano River destroyed to villages along the Izu Peninsula for clarity.
the landslides and flooding occurred in populated areas Remove this; it's pretty obvious given what you said right before that.
