Hello, this is my first GA review.

Criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Article looks decent, only some minor issues listed below.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Flow of the article is smooth and makes a good read.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.

Inline citations all done properly. Lots of sources supporting the "Records" section.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Compact and detailed, but doesn't overload the reader with information.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
No biased views here, just facts.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
All satellite images are in the public domain and shouldn't cause any copyright issues.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Just some minor stuff below.

Other issues

Lede

Link tropical depression in second sentence?
"evacuated some residents" – 180 residents is more than 15% of Boca Camichin's population, which is just under 1100 (source).

Meteorological history

"dissipated into a trough" – is "degenerated" more appropriate?

These should be easy to fix, after which I'll be more than ready to pass the article. ~ KN2731 {talk} 09:10, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Specified 180 residents in the lede rather than percentages. I went with "some" since 180 people is quite minor for a hurricane evacuation but using percentages can be misleading. Also used changed "dissipated" to "opened up" instead of "degenerated" simply to avoid repetition. Thanks for the review, KN2731! ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 14:15, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
