"until May 28. shortly thereafter," - Capitalize "shortly"
- Shoot. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"$365 million (1982 USD).[8] with damage" - I would change the period to a comma
- Changed it to a semicolon.Y E ^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. Y E ^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. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane
"[5] (10 of which drowned in floodwaters)[6] Roughly 20,000 people were" - Add a period before reference #6
- Good call. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane
"red cross and United Nations" - again, "red cross" should be capitalized
- See above.Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"a month's worth of flood supply but officials feared" - "flood supply"? You mean "food supply"?
- Heh, yeah. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane
With that said and done, I am now going to pass this article.--12george1 (talk) 02:49, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
