Hi, nice article but I have a few comments.

  • A season summary is missing
    • I don't feel a need for a season summary, as I put that info in the lede. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough for the lede that is different. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree with you, there is no need for a season summary, just asked because it was project standard.
  • The storm turned to the south, and Hurricane Hunters reported Able strengthened to hurricane status on May 17 off the coast of Florida .[4] The word "that" is missing before "Able"
  • Any other info for Baker?
  • "Around the same time as Easy was forming, a new tropical depression developed in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean. Moving generally westward, it passed south of the Cape Verde islands, strengthening into Tropical Storm Fox on September 4; by that time, its motion turned to the west-northwest." split up sentence please, way too many words there IMO.
    • Which one has too many words? You have two sentences. In the latter one, I could split it where the semicolon is, but I feel the info on its direction should be tied to when it became a TS. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Overall, Hurricane How caused about $2 million (USD) in damage" Year? 2010? 1951? 2011?
  • Any other info for George?
  • "The next day it weakened below tropical storm force before dissipating about 230 mi (370 km) south of Bermuda" I'd change "force" to "status".

That's it for now, at least. YE Tropical Cyclone 00:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few more comments

  • "On October 17, Item struck western Cuba, and later that day dissipated in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico" IMO, an "it" is missing from that sentence"
  • "On September 10, Fox became extratropical between the Azores and Greenland in the far north Atlantic. It turned toward the north and dissipated on September 11 off the southwest coast of Iceland. Although a few ships were affected by the hurricane's winds, there were no reports of any damage." The Azores, Greenland, and Iceland should be wikilinked.

"Hundreds of people were killed in the Mexican mainland, and across Charlie's entire path, damage was estimated at over $75 million (1951 USD, $634 million)." why is $634 million in parenthesis? If I were you, I'd put 2011 USD next to the $634 million

One you address/reply to these, I am passing the article YE Tropical Cyclone 00:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC) Passed. YE Tropical Cyclone[reply]
