thread_title: B-Class

message: 14-Oct-2007: (10 months later) I have made several dozen changes to the article, mostly for verbs/wording:
::* noted Flagship Hotel "outside wall casing" collapsed;
::* converted 13 rainfall inches/mm & 5 storm surge feet/m;
::* indented & shortened several footnotes by 45%;
::* tone: put "amounts of rainfall" for "amount of rainfalls";
::* tone: put "During...hearing" formerly "On...hearing";
::* tone: added "(NWS)"; spelling "forecasters" was "forecaters";
::* tone: put "presented" formerly "brought upon" and "same area" for "same the area";
::* spelling "Preliminary" was "Prelimary"; added many commas;
::* quoted names "Allison"/"Alicia"; set verb as "had been" for "was";
::* unlinked the overlinked common years "2007" and "1983" etc.
::* untagged for the "" tag.
Those numerous changes required over 2 hours. -Wikid77 08:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup October 2007

message: "Hurricane Alicia was notable for the delayed evacuation of Galveston Island (since the eye of the storm traveled the evacuation route up I-45 from Galveston to Houston). "
* What do you make out of this?
"The time between the two storms totaled out to three years and eight days (998 days)."
* Wouldn't that be 1103 days? 
* Which is the correct one, three years and eight days ot 998 days?--9999 (talk) 06:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Three years and eight days is correct.  Unless we've lost 35 days a year suddenly, will use the 1103 figure.  Thegreatdr (talk) 19:20, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
