• " pressure of 966.7 mbar (hPa; 28.55 inHg), it struck just three weeks after the previous system devastated the same area." round this. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
  • It was a measured pressure so I see no need to round this. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "a cyclonic storm, with gale-force winds extending 150 km (90 mi) from the center." what is a cyclonic storm? link to the TC scales page :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Linked Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "As much as 100 mm (3.9 in) of precipitation fell across Madhya Pradesh.[9]" don't go rainfall crazy here YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Not sure what you're getting at? Just covering the affected areas. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• How come nothing from the JTWC? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Annual report doesn't cover the NIO in 1960 and IBTrACS covers any track data needed. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "Once onshore, the system slowed and turned northeastward.[19] It later dissipated over Nepal on August 28 as it interacted with the Himalayas.[18]" may you combine these kind of short sentences? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • It's tricky to put that much detail in one sentence. I'd rather leave it as is. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "Many areas recorded more than 200 mm (7.9 in) during a four-day span. The highest single-day total was 270 mm (11 in) in Bahadurganj.[18]" ditto here. I'd put a semicolon instead of a period and lowercase the T. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
  • Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) " don't put "NOAA" inside the wikilink. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• " with the eye passing directly over the islands of Bhola, Hatia, and Ramgati.[22]" link to Ramagti. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Changed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "The worst damage took place on Ramgati Island where 3,500 people were killed.[25][26] " now delink it here :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
  • Unlinked Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "a pressure of 966.7 mbar (hPa; 28.55 inHg).[22] T" as above, please round. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 12:58, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • It was a measured pressure so I see no need to round this. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• "By December 3, it degenerated into a remnant low and eventually moved over southern India," is it me or should there be a "had" here? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
  • I think it's just you :P Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
• Ref 1 has 2 different date styles.
  • Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Death toll for storms 9 and 10

The news source mentions a death toll of 14,174, in regards to a powerful cyclone that hit Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in October 1960. I think this is actually the combined death toll for both storms. This source, a Chronology of major cyclones and storm surges in Bangladesh, has Cyclonic Storm Nine causing at least 6,000 deaths, and the second causing 8,149 deaths, which is 14,149 deaths, very close to what's mentioned in the newspaper. The same source also has an upper range for CS9 of 11,446, so there is some variability in the sources. @Cyclonebiskit: and others, any thoughts? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:23, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
