• "worst hurricanes to strike Acapulco, Mexico."
  • Added "Mexican". ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• "what's a "tropical depression"? How is it different from a tropical storm?
  • Explained. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• link "archipelago".
  • I switched it to "islands". ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• "developed offshore of El Salvador"?
  • That's actually redundant, since "offshore" already acts as a preposition. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• what's the "Admiral of the Mexican Navy"?
  • I added a link to "Admiral". ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• "Debris-clogged drains" is debris needed?
  • Well, I think it makes the situation clearer, as the drains could be clogged with any number of things not related to the storm. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• "This made it the worst hurricane to hit the city in at least 25 years." what purpose does at least serve? Were the records obscured?
  • That was the fact listed in the report on the hurricane. Often back in that time period, people gave vague estimates on a storm's severity, and it used to be much worse. Storms in the early 1900s in the U.S. were regularly called "the worst storm in memory". It wasn't until hurricane record-keeping got better later in the century that officials were able to quantify statistics such as "the worst hurricane since X year". Bridget was only known to be the worst hurricane in a long time. I hope that explains it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
