(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
The prose is clear and concise. I changed some of the wording, but other than that, the spelling and grammar was of good quality. One reference was misspelled, but the error was easily fixed.
There are 27 sources on this article. One of them, the Tropical Cyclone Report (TCR) for Hurricane Bud, provides more general information about the storm and is from a trusted source (NHC). Many of the rest are also from the NHC, and are more specific about the evolution of the storm. The sources used for impact and preparations are also reliable (such as trusted newspapers).

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
