I think the first sentence should be that it was the first typhoon tracked by the JTWC. That's a little more interesting than what's there.
"Billie's affects" - any time it's a noun, use "effects". Ditto down in the impact section
"JTWC bulletins and warnings commenced accordingly" - what was the storm number?
I'm confused. Were the peak winds according to JMA or JTWC?
I wouldn't really say "forcing" is the appropriate word when describing extratropical transition
Anything more on the Japan deaths? That sounds pretty deadly without having much info
"resulting in the additional displacement of people" - additional to what? The homeless in Taipei? I'd guess they became homeless because of this damage.
Anything else for China?

All in all the article is decent. It just seems on the short side. I know it was 1959, so I'm not expecting too much. Just wondering if it's thorough or not. Cheers! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:51, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
