The ampersand nbsp semicolons are required between numbers and their corresponding noun per the wikipedia Manual of Style. Thegreatdr (talk) 16:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Hurricane Alma (1970)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

That day, it rapidly deepened under weather patterns conducive to development, including low tropospheric shear, strong upper-level outflow, and apparent eastward inflow. - This seems too technical for the casual reader (and even for me).
Avoid using "remained" twice in the same sentence. Any other way of wording that?
After moving offshore Virginia - "off the coast"?
The flooding forced the evacuation of 3,000 people in Oriente Province. - The lead says 2,000 people evacuated.
One girl died from lightning in Miami - A direct strike? I'd like a bit more clarification on this bit of info.

On-hold for now. You know the drill! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got all of it, except for the lightning strike. That was from the NHC, who said 1 girl died from lightning in Miami, and that was it. I couldn't find anything in the newspapers about it, because there was a lot of severe weather elsewhere in the country. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good; passing. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:54, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
