"Early on August 3, Erin re-intensified into a Category 1 hurricane. Strengthening further, the cyclone very briefly strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h) as the eyewall moved ashore at Fort Walton Beach, Florida." can SSHS be invoked?

"totaling about $400,000 (1995 USD).[nb 1]" isn't the note and "(1995 USD)" redundant? 06:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Maybe the "(1995 USD)" thing is redundant but I think the note should be kept. Maybe someone might think the Bahamas damage total is in Bahamian dollars, but it's in USD--12george1 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"accelerated somewhat from a forward speed of 6 mph (9.7 km/h) to 17 mph (27 km/h)" why 9.7 km/h not rounded to 10? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"On August 1, the hurricane passed over or very close to several islands in the Bahamas, including Cat Island, Eleuthera, the Abaco Islands, and Grand Bahama.[1]" any official landfall? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The TCR doesn't list any official landfalls in the Bahamas but states on the same page as the best track, "Many islands in the Bahamas chain either had a landfall or received a 'direct hit',"--12george1 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Eleven and a half hours later, the National Hurricane Center upgraded the east coast," shouldn't NHC be abbreviated? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Evacuations were initially posted for 800,000 people in Florida in preparation." mandatory evacuations or voluntary evacuations? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Many people on the east coast were wary of Erin due to recollections of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Andrew just three years earlier.[9]" why is Andrew linked again? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just a shameless self-promotion on my part :P --12george1 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"NASA had to halt some activities," this just seems too vaugue to include in an article of this size. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The source doesn't have anything else other than what they did with Space Shuttle Endeavour. So I'm just remove that part of the sentence--12george1 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you use words other than "about" and "approximately". "Roughly" or "Close to" could be used more frequently. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"In Jamaica, heavy rains generated by the far outerbands of Erin caused a plane crash that killed five people. " wasn't Jamaica linked earlier? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"The plane, a Cessna 310 twin-engine aircraft owned by RegionAir, carried four employees of Brinks Jamaica, who were due to testify in a court hearing, and a pilot." "Cessna 310" has an article. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"though the Bahamas Department of Meteorology described the impact as mostly minor. " why the red link? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"uch of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Florida experienced abnormally high tides and storm surge," link to storm surge. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

" Although no wind gust was reported from that location, Vero Beach recorded a wind gust of 70 mph (110 km/h).[1] " what? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The first part is referring to the inlet. Added some clarity--12george1 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

". NASA noted a maximum wind gust of 82 mph (132 km/h) atop a wind tower at the Kennedy Space Center. " why is NASA linked again? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the Florida section, I feel like you mention way too much about random rainfall totals and wind speeds. Maybe it's because I haven't read a WPTC article in months but I don't generally include that level of detail in my WPAC articles even when that info is available. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"After making landfall in the Florida Panhandle, the storm soon entered Alabama, brin" why is Alabama linked again? See other state in the same section. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Florida governor Lawton Chiles, " see above. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed you wanted me to delink Lawton Chiles--12george1 (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kinda a dull read but I don't think it's bad. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
