  • Could you get a better source for the first sentence? Perhaps HURDAT's list of US hurricane landfalls? Instead of the entire database
  • "A fifth storm was found in reanalysis in 2009." - considering it was a hurricane, perhaps say "One of the hurricanes" instead of "A fifth storm", which feels out of place in the lead
  • "Observations from ships indicated that a tropical disturbance developed into a tropical depression developed offshore Cabo Gracias a Dios, Nicaragua, on June 12." - this will make it tighter
  • "Further down the river" - farther?
  • "The cyclone strengthened slightly further" - slightly or further, no need for both IMO
  • "Around 12:00 UTC on September 21, it passed almost directly over Bermuda while still at major hurricane intensity." - I suggest rewording to "the hurricane passed almost directly over Bermuda", as it's the beginning of the new paragraph, and you don't want readers wondering what "it" is
  • "while the coast experienced storm surge reaching 8 ft (2.4 m) in height" - grammar?
  • "Repairs costs to government buildings was estimated at roughly 50,000£,[1] with the overall damage reaching approximately $250,000 (1922 USD)." - how big of a pain would it be to have these damage totals in the same currency?
  • How long did H2 last?
  • Could you do some more research for Hurricane Four? Check newspapers for some more impacts?
  • "At approximately 06:00 UTC on October 14, the storm made landfall on Isla de la Juventud, Cuba, with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h), just about six hours before striking modern-day southwestern Artemisa Province at the same intensity." - that sentence is a lot
  • For TS 5 - "The system left minimal impact in Cuba and the Gulf Coast of the United States." - what were these minimal impacts? Any measurable rainfall?
  • " It may have been a subtropical storm due to some hybrid characteristics. " - link subtropical?
  • Under "Depressions" - "A strong tropical wave formed between the Cape Verde Islands and Senegal on September 21. Moving generally westward, the depression was last noted between the islands of Fogo and Santiago on September 22." - you never mention when this TD formed

All in all a good season article, but I feel like a bit more work needs to be done, especially TS 1 and H4. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:53, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
