"Many ships and their crews were lost to the storm as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico, before finally striking northern Mexico on September 8." - Mmm, I don't like how this reads for whatever reason. Use a semicolon to break it into two, add a pronoun in the latter part of the sentence, or something?
"The storm moved very slowly, and sank or impaired numerous ships along its course." - Nein comma.
"Accompanied by significant damage, both along the coast and inland, this storm is considered an historical analogue to Hurricane Vince of 2005." - A historic, not an historic.
"Described by one writer as "one of the worst in the history of coastal Carolina", - Comma inside quotation, m8. Always.
"Extensive flooding in Washington, D.C., turned Pennsylvania Avenue into "a broad river" and inundated homes and cellars, with losses in the city estimated at $50,000 (1842 USD)." - Don't think a comma is necessary after "D.C." unless we're back to that weird rule that I don't understand.
"Streets, wharves, shipyards and lumberyards in Baltimore were submerged" - Comma after shipyards.
"The storm subsequently followed an unusual path due westward across the Gulf of Mexico." - That doesn't strike me as particularly unusual?

That's about it. Nice job on the article. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 00:58, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
