I didn't really edit the lead. I should remove that because there was no concept of hurricane season until circa 1935 apparently--12george1 (talk) 04:47, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The most notable storm during the season formed in late August, while east of the Lesser Antilles. Moving west to west-northwestward, the storm quickly gained hurricane status, and traversed much of the Greater Antilles before strengthening into a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale and crossing the Yucatán Peninsula. Briefly weakening after its interaction with land, it strengthened into a Category 3 once again, and made landfall in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas on August 27 before rapidly dissipating the following day." why three sentences in the lead for just one system?

Again, that's what I get for not really editing the lead :P --12george1 (talk) 04:47, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"an Extratropical cyclone northeast of the Bahamas" why the capital "Extratropical"? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph (63 km/h), which is tropical storm strength." why mention this since there were no intermediate advisories back then? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"However, operational analysis on the storm in 1999 indicated that it was only a tropical storm.[8]" I take it you mean 1909 here, correct? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did mean 1999, but I need to reword that sentence--12george1 (talk) 04:47, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You mention around three times in two's section. Maybe change one to "approximately"? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

" in New Orleans, Louisiana.[2]" why mention the state name of a major city? You don't for Monterrey and Cancun. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Late on August 24, weakened to a tropical depression while approaching the coast of Mexico,[1] with the weakening probably caused by wind shear generated by the sixth storm.[2]" what weakened? Donald Trump's polling numbers? :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"there were two deaths,[37] both from fatal injuries during the storm.[37] " isn't that redundant? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove landfalls in the SE chart. I lost that fight years ago. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:58, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
