It looks pretty good, but there are a few issues. First, when you say On July 19, the disturbance quickly strengthened into a 50 mph (80 km/h) tropical storm around 12 a.m. and was named Anna by the National Hurricane Center. what time zone is 12 a.m.? is it UTC, EST? Also, the impact section should be named impact and naming. Juliancolton (talk) 13:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • "at least 18 homes were destroyed, 228 were damaged, and an additional 18 were left uninhabitable" - if they're uninhabitable, aren't they destroyed?
  • Any more Belize damage? You say damage was reported, but don't go into detail.
  • "imagery showed a cloud mass near 10°N, 39°W." - where is this? Ditto with later lat/long readings
  • "Early on July 20, ship reports indicated a developing circulation between Grenada and Trinidad.[3] Early on July 20, squalls on the former island produced wind gusts as strong as 50 mph (80 km/h)" - feel like these could be merged.
  • "The United States Weather Bureau issued tropical cyclone watches and warnings for Venezuela, Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba.' - not backed up by ref 6
  • Link "Belize Harbor" to Belize City, as that's where the port is.
  • "In Belize Harbor, many ships and boats were moved upstream inland and Belize's Church Welfare Service began to ship clothing and other materials in anticipation of the aftermath of the hurricane. - what does the first clause have to do with the second part?

All in all, a decent (short) article. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
