". The sixth tropical cyclone of the 1975 Atlantic hurricane season, the depression developed from a trough of low pressure in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico on July 28. " link to trough (meteorology)]. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You spell out "inches" and "miles" on first usage but not "mph". Please be consistent. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Numerous roads were flooded and closed, with $3.2 million (1975 USD) in damage incurred to that infrastructure." not sure what that you're referring to here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Flood damage was reported in Canton, Moss Point, and Vicksburg, with water entering about 12 homes in both Moss Point and Vicksburg." why "about" for such a precise number? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The source said "about a dozen". I'll switch to that--12george1 (talk) 01:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Meteorology" any reason why this is not called "Meteorological history"? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"In late July, a frontal trough of low pressure, which Hurricane Blanche avoided, was situated over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.[1] " what is a "frontal trough" The MWR only mentions a cold front and a trough steered Blanche. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You sure? The MWR states on page 464 (PDF page 12), "It had developed within the same trough of low pressure that Blanche avoided"--12george1 (talk) 01:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"The depression, combined with a building high pressure system, resulting in the development of a strong convergence zone, causing heavy rainfall along the Gulf Coast, particularly in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.[1]" try re-writing this sentence. The bit about the strong convergence zone seems to be causing extra confusion. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the best option would be for me to split it after mentioning the convergence zone--12george1 (talk) 01:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"minimum barometric pressure of 1,010 mbar (30 inHg)." why the comma here? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The template did that. The inHg part didn't match the infobox anyway, so I type it in manually--12george1 (talk) 01:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"leaving three states roads impassible" this implies that roads in 3 states were impassible. I think you mean "leaving three state roads impassible". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"The creek cresting at 16.7 ft (5.1 m) on August 1, about 3 ft (0.91 m) short of the record height set in April." past tense. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, it's good. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
