Better intro, more impact, neutral POV. Jdorje 23:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
It needs a longer storm history. Surely there's more impact. Are there preps or aftermath? Hurricanehink ( talk) 03:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Can we have a deaths-by-state table for direct deaths? Were all deaths in new england? — jdorje ( talk) 05:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
The second sentence says
It was one of only three tropical cyclones to strike the U.S. state of Massachusetts as a Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale.
but then a few sentences later, it says
The storm [...] reached its peak intensity of 120 mph (195 km/h) north of the Bahamas before weakening to Category 1 status before landfall in Massachusetts on September 11.
this source says the wind gusts (not sustained winds) peaked at 120 mph on Martha's Vineyard (which could have happened before landfall). I'm guessing the first sentence is wrong, and in lieu of a list of the three hurricanes, I've removed it. -- MillingMachine ( talk) 17:42, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

* "The storm first caused rainfall-induced flooding in Puerto Rico, and it later brushed the Bahamas." – Rain-induced flooding? What else causes flooding?
* "On September 7, a bulletin from San Juan, Puerto Rico reported extensive, flood-inducing rainfall along the western and southern coasts of the island." – See first comment on "flood-induced".
Not a bad article overall, I'll pass if the aforementioned issues are corrected or responded to. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 02:45, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
