Todo[edit]

Yet another low importance article.... Alright. More lede, first. More clarification would be good for the storm history; in the third sentence, what started moving to the west, the upper-level low or the surface low. Overall, a thorough copyedit would be good. A lot of the impact drags way too much, aside from the fact it is pretty disorganized. It's mostly just rainfall stats, and it doesn't really mean that much. The HPC rainfall map would be a good addition. However, there just doesn't feel like a lot of information, there. Perhaps it should be merged? The season article would easily be able to handle it.

I'd only support merging if all the useful information here can be included in the other article. Otherwise, keep this as a subarticle of the other season article.--Alabamaboy 00:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lede[edit]

  1. Tropical Storm Chris caused minor flooding along the Gulf Coast of the United States. → Tropical Storm Chris caused minor flooding along the Gulf Coast of the United States in September of 1982.
  2. Try not to use the name "Chris" in the lede so much.
  3. There was rainfalls as high as 16 inches (410 mm) in the southern parts and slightly less as the storm progressed northward. — This sentence as a whole is confusing, and the first portion of it is grammatically incorrect.
  4. Elsewhere, impact was limited mostly light to moderate rainfall, though local flooding was reported in Tennessee and Kentucky. — I think you are missing a word here?

Meteorological history[edit]

  1. Around reaching its peak, Chris made landfall near Sabine Pass, Port Arthur, Texas. — "Around when" isn't very "technical". How about "Shortly before (or after)".
  2. After moving inland, Chris initially weakened quickly, and was downgraded to a tropical depression by early on September 12 while centered over west-central Louisiana — I'd remove the word "initially" because it never slowed down weakening.
  3. Fifteen hours after that, a gale warning was released for Port Arthur to Port O'Connor, Texas. — "after that" → "afterwards".

Summary[edit]

I have to say, I am impressed with how well-written the rest of the article is. More points towards your WikiCup count. :-) – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
