"October 27, 1980": double space and a missing comma after 1980, per MOS:YEAR.
- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The lead could be split into two paragraphs, since it's rather long.
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Homes" vs "houses", need to choose one or the other
- I don't see the problem, given they have the same meaning.
"11v provinces"
- That's what I get for adding non-breaking spaces last. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Who declared these provinces as a disaster area?
  - I'll add this to the body. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"equal to low-end Category 2 status": "equivalent to a low-end Category 2 [storm]"
- Hurricane, since the SSHS isn't officially used in this basin. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"(PAGASA) also monitored the storm" on November 1...is "began [monitoring]" missing here?
- Re-worded. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hurricane Hunter "fix": could a different term be used?
- Any time the inner core of a hurricane is penetrated, it is refereed to as a "fix", but since you asked, I'll change it. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of repeated use of "Betty"; some substitutions would be welcome.
- Holy crap, I removed like three. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first two sentences could be merged together.
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is it known which airports were most affected by the Philippines Airline closure?
- No. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"along low-lying suburbs": shouldn't it be "in"?

"30,000 [people left] homeless"?
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Inflation adjustments are needed for the figures listed in this section. Would prefer the local currency being used as well.
- In general, most members of the wikiproject have been opposed to including inflation. Although I don't exactly agree, I generally haven't been including them for six years (except for certain templates). Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

11 and 113 are better rendered as numerals, per WP:NUMNOTES.
