This is a very good article. Here is some comments.

Lead

"After crossing Cuba, the hurricane rapidly strengthened in the eastern Gulf of Mexico to reach peak winds of 125 mph" metric conversions.
"From the point when Hurricane Easy entered the Gulf of Mexico until it weakened to a tropical storm, it was observed nearly constantly from radars or Reconnaissance Aircraft.[1]" Now need for sources in lead if they are already mentioned in the article.

MH

"After executing its first loop, Hurricane Easy moved northeastward at 7 mph (11 km/h) until making landfall near Cedar Key on September 5 with winds of 120 mph (190 km/h)" Which category on the hurricane scale?
"Steering currents again became weak, resulting in Easy to execute a second loop in 24 hours towards the southeast."Sounds a lttle strange

Impact

Retitle section Preparations and Impact.
"Experienced the eye of the hurricane for 2 1/2 hours" It should be "experienced the eye of the hurricane for 2 and a half hours
"While looping twice along its path, the hurricane dropped heavy amounts of rainfall of 10 in (250 mm) to 20 in (510 mm) in large portions of northwestern Florida. Rainfall totals include 24.5 inches in Cedar Key in 3 days" Meric conversions would be nice
"Described as the worst hurricane in the Cedar Key area in 70 years, Hurricane Easy left half of the houses destroyed or unfit for rehabilitation, while 90% of the others were damaged.[5] The strong winds destroyed the roofs of 150 homes and buildings" Reword the first part.

In all, nice article. I am putting it on hold for now. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

Fixed everything but two: I avoided the SSHS note, since the Saffir-Simpson scale wasn't made until the 1970s, and the book is used twice in the article, which has the page reference in the article. Hope that works! Hurricanehink (talk) 18:30, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
