• "The 1899 Carrabelle hurricane caused significant damage in Dominican Republic and the Florida Panhandle. The second tropical cyclone and second hurricane of the annual season, " what kind of season? Spring? Also, missing a "the" after the first "in". YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• I believe it was basketball season :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• " "Great" damage was reported along coastal sections of the country, while a loss of telegraph service impacted most of interior areas." no need for comma in such sentence. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• "In Florida, damage in the city of Carrabelle was extensive, where no more than a score of "unimportant" houses remained." what is a score? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Hint: it has nothing to do with the Heat vs. Spurs game. :P 5 score and 14 years ago, a hurricane struck northwestern Florida. :P Actually, another source I have says that only 9 houses remained.--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• "Many boats at the harbor and the wharfs in Lanark were wrecked. Large portions of stores and pavilions in the city were damaged. " have you ever heard of a semicolon? If so, combine these sentences with such feature. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Never heard of a semicolon, but I do know what a score is :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• " Early on August 2, it weakened to a tropical storm and then a tropical depression several hours later, shortly before dissipating over southern Alabama.[2]" separate these two sentences. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• "Three large schooners were wrecked at Santo Domingo; only one crew member on the three vessels survived." link to schooners, plz? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Sorry, I could only find a link to Schooner :P Actually, I instead wikilinked it in the lede.--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• "The city of Carrabelle was devastated, with only nine houses remaining." to "The city of Carrabelle was devastated as only nine houses in the city remained." YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• " According to the mayor, about 200 families were left homeless." Does the mayor have a name? Or did he go around with no name and wrote no name on his SAT papers? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• First of all, that SATs were invented until 1926. :P Second, the source does not specify. Third, this was 1899, so it may never be known.--12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• "The The New York Times stated that, "Carrabelle is literally wiped from the map.""double word. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• I am the one often accusing accusing you of doing doing that. :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• "One fatality occurred in Carrabelle when a house collapsed on a woman, Mary Williams; numerous other people in the area sustained injuries.[4] " we don't usually mention names of people affected by hurricanes unless notable (like Tim Duncan) :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Please see Bloody Mary :P --12george1 (talk) 03:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• ". A 30 miles (48 km) portion of the Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Georgia Railroad was washed away." "miles" to "mile". YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
