The article says "The storm was named the San Felipe II Hurricane because the eye of the cyclone made landfall on the Christian feast day of Saint Philip." But none of the Saints Philip listed on Wikipedia have their feast days in September, let alone on September 13. However, September 13 just happens to mark the anniversary of the death of King Philip II of Spain – Felipe Segundo in Spanish. Is this just a massive coincidence, or has someone got the story of the name wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.68.149.57 ( talk) 09:19, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
I had already started this conversation on @ SilSinn9821: talk page. I am replying to last statement made there. I see that 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane has a name section at the top. However, that is a c-class article compared to this one which is a featured class article. In addition, as I had stated, this name information is already included in the Puerto Rico section. I would vote for keeping the previous section structure and merging any new information into the Puerto Rico section. Or rewriting part of the Puerto Rico section to read better.

I already merged both sections; for now the merged section resides within Impact/Puerto Rico as a new subsection (which also required dealing with the multiple mentions of the Mujica reference). Hope it looks better to you. Now I must improve the other hurricane articles. SilSinn9821 ( talk) 22:50, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
Also, the Mujica reference, which was previously marked as a dead URL, was updated with a working URL I found on Google: the new URL has a slightly-different alphanumeric string in its path, suggesting that at some point it was moved from one directory to another within the gobierno.pr server. Now I hope this URL doesn't die next time Puerto Rico elects a new governor from an opposing party! SilSinn9821 ( talk) 23:13, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
The intro to this article identifies 1928 Okeechobee as "the second deadliest hurricane in the United States, only behind the 1900 Galveston hurricane."
However, later in the article, the table "Deadliest United States hurricanes" lists "San Ciriaco" as #2, and Maria as #3, before listing 1928 Okeechobee as #4.
This information seems to be contradictory. Elindsey83 ( talk) 22:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
I also noticed this; some articles list the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane as the second deadliest, and some list Hurricane Maria as the second deadliest. From what I could find, it seems the death toll in Hurricane Maria was low, but shortly afterward, the death rate in general was much higher than usual. So it may depend on whether "deadliest" indicates that deaths are only occurring during the hurricane, or if it includes deaths afterward as a result of the conditions left behind the hurricane. [1]
