Comments - great list

The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned upon. - this sentence is confusing, consider revising.
- Got it. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tropical Storm Alberto produced significant rainfall and flooding in the Southeastern United States, damaging or destroying over 18,000 homes, and inflicting $750 million (1994 USD) in total damages. - wouldn't it be and instead of or
- Not necessarily; the storm affected 18,000 homes, of which some were destroyed, and others were only damaged. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the second paragraph, I would add the months to the storms which you don't have them for, like Gordon
- Done. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Be consistent with the publishers, ref #1 and ref #2 are the same publisher but are written differently.--S R X 02:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, it's standard to spell out an abbreviation in its first occurrence. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well its spelled out in ref#6, the third occurrence, so I think there should be some consistency made, and possibly add (acronym here) to the first occurrence in the publisher.--S R X 03:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
    - I've put the acronym for ref#6. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, which is information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center." Can we fix the repetition of "information"?
"Tropical Storm Alberto produced significant rainfall and flooding in the Southeastern United States, damaging or destroying over 18,000 homes, and inflicting $750 million (1994 USD) in ~~total~~ damages." Readers will understand that the amount is the total unless there was reason to believe otherwise.
One dab link needs to be fixed.
"Hurricane Gordon in November was the most significant storm, causing damages from Costa Rica to North Carolina during its six landfalls." What do you mean by "significant"?
"approximately "-->about; it's simpler. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected all but the one for Gordon being significant. I'm not sure in which way Julian meant Gordon was significant so I'll leave that to him. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gordon was the longest-lived storm of the season, and it caused the most damage and fatalities. I'll see if I can clarify that. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 16:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
