Oddly worded

"The combination of rainfall and winds destroyed 21 houses and blew off the roof of several others, affecting 1,376 people, of whom 80 were left homeless." - So, 80 people being made homeless by the destruction of 21 houses sounds reasonable. 1,300 people "affected" by the roof's being blown off "several others" seems odd. Either very large houses, very high population density or very vague and strangely worded sentence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.210.174.23 (talk) 15:00, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peculiar title for an article

Ivan devastated other parts of the world, including Florida. Yet this article contains no link to, nor discussion of, Ivan's effects in those areas. Why is this?97.64.209.102 (talk) 16:35, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
