Should be good enough for B, but it needs some fine-tuning for GA. For example, there are really long sentences like, A report of 40 mph (64 km/h) winds, 1010.5 mbar, and heavy thundershowers that were generating 9-foot (2.7 m) high swells was received from a Coast Guard cutter called the Androscoggin while the ship was 150 mi (240 km) south of Tehuantepec in a northward bend in the ITCZ that was moving westward.. Also, you might want to put the term "barometric pressure" in there so people know what the "1010.5 mbar" means. Good work overall, and I'm amazed at how much information you found for such an old storm, especially in the storm history. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 11:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
