Hurricane Heather

I've listed this article for peer review because it's the first article I wrote mostly fully, and I would like suggestions on how to improve it.

Thanks, Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

• Lede
• 1st sentence: describe what the storm is, not what it caused.
  • Changed it to "was one of the worst tropical cyclones to affect Arizona on record", hopefully good now? Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
• "eighth named storm" is confusing language.
  • This is what I see in most tropical cyclone articles. I can change it if it helps a lot, however. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
• "inactive" season? is that necessary?
  • I see this in a bunch of other tropical cyclone articles again, but it does feel less necessary, so I've removed it. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
• "Heather became a hurricane" -> "the Tropical storm was again upgraded to a hurricane" or something like that. "Heather became a hurricane" sounds goofy.
  • Changed to "Heather strengthened into a hurricane". Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
• Meteorological history looks good, but it does retread some stuff that was already in the lede.
• Effects

"The then-governor of Arizona" has a clunky link, and it rolls off the tongue very poorly. It could be changed, but it doesn't have to be.

• Changed wording to "The governor of Arizona at the time". Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Also, "Nogales" might be over-linked.

• Removed the link in the met history section, along with a couple other things which were overlinked. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hope this helped, @Skarmory!
