Oddly worded

"The combination of rainfall and winds destroyed 21 houses and blew off the roof of several others, affecting 1,376 people, of whom 80 were left homeless." - So, 80 people being made homeless by the destruction of 21 houses sounds reasonable. 1,300 people "affected" by the roof's being blown off "several others" seems odd. Either very large houses, very high population density or very vague and strangely worded sentence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.210.174.23 (talk) 15:00, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peculiar title for an article

Ivan devastated other parts of the world, including the U.S. gulf coaat. Yet this article contained no link to, nor discussion of, Ivan's effects in those areas. I have linked it to the main Hurricane Ivan article.97.64.209.102 (talk) 16:35, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020

Duplicate links
Reference 1 needs a first name
Needs more descriptive text for images and alt text
Scholarly literature

Decent bit for Lesser Antilles on impact/aftermath.
Small amount for South America (need to sort through the links to find it)

Coverage is outdated here as more recovery has taken place since 2007, especially in Grenada.
