Since we need to get the ball rolling again, somehow, will do (probably during class). YE Pacific Hurricane 13:53, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The 1926 Nova Scotia hurricane (also known as the 1926 Great August Gale) was one of the deadliest Canadian hurricanes in the 20th century. " Why not just say it was the third deadliest?
  • "Over the next few days, the storm's track varied between north-northwest and northwest. Early on August 5, it peaked with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (190 km/h)." could these two sentences be combined? I'm not a fan of the phrase "peaked with maximum sustained winds either.

  • Done. I replaced most of the "and"s, can't find Newfoundland though :P
  • " It began losing tropical characteristics while approaching Atlantic Canada and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on August 8. " you mention in the MH it was last noted on 8/8 yet in here you mention it dissipated. Which one is it?
  • " In Atlantic Canada, the cyclone caused many fatalities after sinking several ships and boats offshore Nova Scotia, including the schooners Sylvia Mosher and Sadie Knickle. Between 55 and 58 deaths occurred, including at least 49 from those two ships crashing ashore Sable Island." why do you mention "many deaths" first and then a sentence later mention the exact total?

  • "Several ships recorded hurricane-force winds and pressures as low as 968 mbar (28.6 inHg), though none entered the eye of the hurricane and sampled the lowest pressure in the storm. " why is this impact and not the MH given how short the MH is linked and why is pressure linked? YE Pacific Hurricane 14:50, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
