General note(s)
  • Made some copyedits and factual corrections here and there so the data jives properly. Please double check these.
  • If you haven't already, you should apply for membership at newspapers.com through Wikipedia. There's likely a reasonable amount of information that can be gleaned from newspapers which is not presently in the article.
Hurricane One
  • After initially directing north-northwestward, the depression accelerated and intensified into a tropical storm on the following day. – subjects don't match for the contrast the sentence is set up to provide. A later sentence shows no change in the storm's direction so the first part of this doesn't really make sense.
Tropical Storm Three
  • Based on weather maps and ship data, a tropical depression formed near the west coast of Africa on August 26. – Need to add "weather maps/data indicate(d)" or "is believed to have formed" (or something to that effect) to preface the formation of the TD.
Hurricane Five
  • An extratropical cyclone that developed offshore New England transitioned into a tropical storm on October 6 while situated about 325 mi (525 km) northwest of Bermuda. – More details on the movement and location of the precursor ET low is much desired.
  • After becoming tropical, the storm continued to move southwestward and approached the Southeastern United States. – In line with the above comment, there's no mention of previous movement so "continued" doesn't make sense here. There was also a major change in direction that needs to be addressed earlier with the ET segment.
  • Continuing the theme of more movement info, mention of the system practically stalling over the Carolinas is needed.
  • The Georgetown Railway and Light Company and the Home Telephone Company suffered the worst damage. – And that damage would be...? This just leaves me hanging with nothing to grasp on to. Aforementioned usage of a newspaper archive could very well remedy this issue.

All-in-all a decent read, but very much needs attention from a newspaper archive. I'm placing the article on-hold for now to allow you time to address the above concerns. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 17:51, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
