"Typhoon Higos (international designation: 0221,[1] JTWC designation: 25W[2]) was estimated to have been the third strongest typhoon to affect Tokyo since World War II. " "estimated" seems odd here IMO. I suggest you drop it. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to "considered", since I don't think every typhoon's exact intensity was known, going back to WWII. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:07, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Higos passed very near Tokyo around 1200 UTC that day,[4] and the JTWC estimated it was the third strongest typhoon to affect the city since World War II.[2] " I suggest re-wording it to ""Higos passed very near Tokyo around 1200 UTC that day,[4] becoming the third strongest typhoon to affect the city since World War II.[2] ".

". By that time, the storm was beginning to transition into an extratropical cyclone, and at 0600 UTC on October 2 Higos completed the transition.[1] At that time, the JTWC discontinued advisories.[2] " It looks weird as "that time", suggest re-wording the "at that time" to "Subsequently" or "Simultaneously".

Any aftermath? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nah, I got a ton of news sources, and it didn't cover any impact. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:07, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Anything from relief web? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nope, I checked. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:07, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
