  • was a tropical cyclone that caused numerous fatalities in Central America in June 1934 It may be better to just say it caused at least half a thousand deaths.
  • with damage both extensive in the country's interior and along its Pacific coast. --> with damage extensive in both the...
  • I would mention the year for that monetary value in the lead and the first mention in prose.
  • The hurricane weakened and accelerated after moving ashore It appears a directional change occurred after the storm made landfall. Could that be mentioned here after accelerated?
  • The storm's winds below hurricane strength on June 17 and further to tropical depression strength on June 18 as the system tracked across Mississippi and Tennessee. Missing a word or two here.
  • they were They?
  • The slow-moving tropical cyclone produced torrential rainfall resulting in widespread flooding that killed several thousand people. I think there should be a comma after rainfall.
  • The storm destroyed homes in San Juancito Any idea on how many were destroyed?
  • Rail service to these areas were suspended due to the flooding rail service is singular
  • Six people were killed in the Mexican state of Chiapas following a plane crash possibly due to strong winds from the storm. I feel like a comma is needed after crash.
That should be it. NoahTalk 18:25, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Hurricane Noah:: thanks for the review! I've made the appropriate adjustments addressing the comments. As for the San Juancito, there does not appear to be an enumeration of the number of homes destroyed in the sources I've seen. --TheAustinMan(TalkEdits) 16:32, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
