All in all, pretty good job for the article. I'm too lazy for a GA review, so here's some things to do. If this were a GA review, I'd probably fail it, or maybe put it on hold.
*Can you think of a better opening sentence?
*In the lede, any reason Tropical Disturbance is capitalized, but tropical depression isn't? I see a few other problems with capitalization. (Made Gene in the MH)
*Source is needed for the damage total
*In the first paragraph of met. history, you should specify what "tropical cyclone status" means
*In the first paragraph of met. history, you should mention sometime that the storm was moving near Fiji
*"then emerged back out into the Coral Sea" - what does that mean? That's the first time you mention Coral Sea
*The first sentence in the second paragraph of met. history is far too long. Also, "RSMC Nadi reported that Gene had weakened temporailly in to a category one cyclone" seems really verbose. a) does it matter which agency said it weakened? b) is it really that important that it weakened to a category one cyclone? Can't you just say that on X date, Gene temporarily weakened due to the shear? Check for other verbose language. Having a lot of text is great, but it doesn't mean it's well-written.
*"having one minute sustained winds" - any reason for writing that all out? Is that how we write it in other articles? Usually, I just write 115 mph (Xkm/h sustained 1-min sustained. Perhaps mention the differences in the wind speed (1-min vs. 10-min.... are you sure Nadi has 10-min winds, BTW?)
Good luck fixing up the article. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 04:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
I think i have managed to "fix" up the article to hinks comments. but Hink please check. Jason Rees ( talk) 23:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Given that you're not going for FA status, I think the article is close to the point of being good enough for passing its GA nomination. My major qualm is the lack of JTWC information for its origins. The JTWC has the SWTO, which includes good info on what the storm did before it became a TC. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 03:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

TC Gene A tropical depression was evident east northeast of Fiji. Organization improved, with good support aloft, and on the 28 th of January, 2008, the depression became tropical cyclone Gene. Gene’s initial path was southwest, and then west, that brought it through the two main island of Fiji. As it moves past Fiji, with the anticipation of it moving west southwest, the Vanuatu Tropical Cyclone Warning issue the first advisory on Gene on the 30 th of January. Tropical cyclone Gene was 300KM east of Futuna Island. The first warning was issued on the 31 st of January at 3am in the morning specifically for the central and southern islands. On the 31 st of January, at 6pm, TC Gene started to slowly move in a west southwest track, as well as intensify. Warnings for central islands were cancelled, while warnings for the southern islands were upgraded to storm and Hurricane, as Gene continues to intensify to 955hPa, 80 knots (Cat 3). The hurricane and storm wind warning was maintained until the 01 st of February 2008, at 6pm. On the 2 nd of February 2008, warnings for Tafea were downgraded to gale as TC Gene reduced its intensity. The final warning was issued at 3pm, on the 2 nd of February 2008 when Gene was located 300KM southeast of Aneityum Island. The closest Gene came to Futuna was 30 KM to the southeast of the island. Winds of 50 to 60 knots were recorded on Aneityum. The lowest pressure recorded on Aneityum was 998hPa on the 31 st of January 2008 at 11pm, while the observation station on Whitegrass, Tanna reported 994hPa on the 1 st of January at 5am local time.Damages On the island of Futuna, Tafea province, garden crops and houses (both native and non native) were severely damaged. More than 70% of garden crops were damaged by the winds of TC Funa, prompting the Vanuatu Government to declare the area a disaster zone.
