  • "Throughout the Philippines, 40 people were killed, two via drownings, and 19,000 others were directly affected." - Numerical consistency.
  • "A total of 12,000 homes were destroyed and 5,000 villages received flooded." - Received flooding sounds strange. Just go with the typical "were flooded."
  • "Land interaction took toll on Kim, and upon entering the South China Sea, was down below typhoon intensity." - This needs to be reworded. Land interaction took its toll. The subject of the sentence here in land interaction, not Kim, so the entire sentence is off.
  • "Kim continued northwestward, but its disrupted circulation, prevented re-intensification and it remained a tropical storm until hitting southern China July 27 to the northeast of Hong Kong, where only slight damage was reported." - Axe the comma after circulation, add one after re-intensification, and axe the one after Hong Kong.
  • "Four hours later, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified the system as a tropical depression.[2][nb 1]" - Notes before refs.
  • "Despite aircraft data suggesting that the storm was not well stacked vertically." - This is not a complete sentence.
  • "At around this time" - At or around, not at around.
  • "Kim began to clear out an eye on the evening of July 23.[4] Subsequently, Kim, as forecast by the JTWC, entered a period of rapid deepening.[1]" - Just combine these.
  • "Ten hours later, a Hurricane hunter aircraft measured a pressure of 908 mbar (26.8 inHg)." - More specific inHg. Same for next sentence.
  • "Continuing to weaken due to land interaction, Kim had weakened below typhoon intensity once it emerged into the South China Sea,[1] according to both the JTWC and JMA." - had weakened --> fell
  • "Typhoon Kim caused widespread flooding to Luzon." to --> in. Change "In Manila" to "Throughout Manila" if that's repetitive for you.
    • Eh, I like "across" here but I like how you're thinking tonight. 01:58, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
  • "Across the Philippines, 40 people were killed,[13] two via drownings,[10] and 19,000 others were affected." - Numerical consistency.
  • "The next day day," - Extra word word.
  • "Some villages were flooded and two landslides happened." - Happened --> occurred.
