• "Roughly 2,500 people lived on this reclaimed land prior to the flood. The majority of fatalities took place along the banks of the river, with most drowning or being buried in mud or debris." I'd combine this to sentences with something like ";consequentially". YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:51, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

• Where does Thelma fall in the deadlist typhoons. There should at least be a template of that.
