I'll be taking on this review in the next few days Secret ^account 21:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

• Do you know why the storm was called the "1815 North Carolina hurricane", any official sources that uses that name?

• Generic title. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• " First detected far eastward of the Lesser Antilles on 26 August...." I don't think "far" is needed.

• Fixy. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "with other portions of the northwestern extremities of the Leeward Islands noting the storm as well." - did it cause any damage there, also the words "extremeities of the" is redundant as Saint Barthélemy is pretty much the most northwestern of the 15 or so island chain.

• Ding. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• Do we know the estimated wind-field of this storm outside of being "a hurricane"?

• I would have said so if there was; alas, no. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• I don't think "within the vicinity of the Raccoon Keys" is needed, Cape Romain does have a wikilink

• The Raccoon Keys no longer exist, so I decided to note them, since the article on Cape Romain doesn't mention them. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• " Massive waves began to cause" began to cause < caused

• Errr, yea. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• How can a gristmill be "lifted" - reword

• Um, it drifted away. Couldn't think of any other words for parallel structure; tried again. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• Try to avoid the wording "as well", as the reader knows that the storm caused damage.

• Doubly done. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "A second house was also driven away" - houses don't drive, reword

• Like boats. Fixed. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "Nearby at the Shackleford and Bogue Banks, several other watercraft" remove other

• Done. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "and many people made to escape" made to escape < escaped

• The wording implies some of them failed to do so; tweaked, nevertheless. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• Image is free, I don't see any close paraphrasing concerns, I'll AGF on the off-line sources.

Just fix those minor nitpicks and it should be good to go. Thanks Secret ^account 01:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Notability

'The 1815 North Carolina hurricane caused the most severe flooding in New Bern, North Carolina since 1795.'

Worst local flood for 20 years doesn't seem very notable. Valetude (talk) 15:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
