Why didn't this hurricane have a "human" name?
According to the national geographic source, this hurricane was a cat4 at landfall. None of the other sources seem to give a landfall strength. So where does the cat5 landfall strength come from? Jdorje 22:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

The 1959 storm could have been the same; however, the 'X' categorization (extratropical? unknown?) it receives in its positional estimates makes me wonder. The pressure of 958 given for the peak intensity is certainly not that of a cat5 storm. Jdorje 00:12, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Expand the lede a bit, and add a source for it being the deadliest EPAC hurricane in the records section. Good work. (Note: not a GA review - just a quick assessment). ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 02:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
After a couple crashes of my web browser, I was able to confirm that the references did exist. For a system this old, there is are a lot references for impact. The language is encyclopedaic. Don't see any typos or grammar problems. I'm not expecting much in the way of imagery for a storm before the satellite era other than track, so the imagery included is fine. I'm passing the article, and changing its importance to Top due to extreme death toll from an eastern Pacific tropical cyclone. Thegreatdr ( talk) 22:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
An earthquake in Mexico City in 1985 caused around 10,000 deaths in that area. Is this statement in the article worded wrong(i.e. Mexico's worst hurricane in recent times)? Or is it not the "worst" disaster in recent times in Mexico? Rye998 ( talk) 00:08, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Am I the only one who thinks the title is extremely vague? Most Year X hurricane are named after a city, state, or relatively geographically small country. The name "Mexico" provides very little context of where the storm actually struck. Would 1959 Colima hurricane or 1959 Manzanillo hurricane work better? Y E Pacific Hurricane 17:54, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
