• "until May 28. shortly thereafter," - Capitalize "shortly"
  • Shoot. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• "$365 million (1982 USD).[8] with damage" - I would change the period to a comma
  • Changed it to a semicolon.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "and precipitation totals wre as high as23.3 in (590 mm)." - Three things: (1. "wre" is a typo (2. add a space between as and 23.3 (3. There were higher rainfall totals observed from Aletta. Here it says Aletta dropped 57.36 inches of rain. However, I cannot can only find mirror sites as the source. I would suggest that you look for a source for that, but if you cannot find it, but leave the maximum rainfall as 23.3 inches.
  • I found a source. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "A red cross official stated" - "red cross" should be capitalized
  • It's not a proper noun. If it was the U.S. Red Cross, it would be capitalized. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "[5] (10 of which drowned in floodwaters)[6] Roughly 20,000 people were" - Add a period before reference #6
  • Good call. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "red cross and United Nations" - again, "red cross" should be capitalized
  • See above.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
• "a month's worth of flood supply but officials feared" - "flood supply"? You mean "food supply"?
  • Heh, yeah. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• With that said and done, I am now going to pass this article.--12george1 (talk) 02:49, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
