"Of the season's five tropical cyclones, only one reached hurricane status, the fewest since 1890. Furthermore, that storm strengthened into major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.[1] The strongest cyclone of the season, the fourth hurricane, peaked at Category 3 strength with 120 mph (195 km/h) winds" - it could be clearer that this is all referring to the same storm. That last sentence is ambiguous whether it's the same.

"Based on weather reports from the Weather Bureau Office in New Orleans, Louisiana,[4] a tropical storm was first observed about 20 miles (30 km) north-northwest of Swan Island" - when?

For storm three - "at the same intensity." - I assume this means peak? You should clarify

Yes, the wind speed at landfall was the same as at peak intensity--12george1 (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"forcing shipping" - "shipping" --> "ships"

But what if it was a ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships? :P --12george1 (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Eastern Cuba was effected" - "effected" --> "affected"

Add mention of SSHS in H4's summary

Done--12george1 (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anything else about the "Campania"?

Done--12george1 (talk) 22:09, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried Google news or anything else to get any additional refs? I think only having four refs might be somewhat problematic. Maybe include some of the meta data, see if you can get some rainfall reports. Also, check the Louisiana Hurricane History for #5 or #3.

Unfortunately, there weren't any newspaper articles and WPC doesn't even mention them.--12george1 (talk) 22:09, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All in all, pretty good read! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:13, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
