• "Dot reached its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds reaching 150 mph (240 km/h)" - add comma before "with"
  •  Done - Added. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• Make sure you link when you say "US$150,000" the first time
  •  Done - Linked. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "After peaking, Dot slightly weakened, but maintained its Category 4 status for over two days in addition to an unusually large eye spanning as much as 40 mi (65 km) in diameter." - comma before "in addition", maybe?
  •  Done - Added. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "curved sharply towards the northwest late that day. A more sharper" - could you avoid saying "sharp" twice so soon after each other?
  •  Done - Replaced with "definite" TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "All watches and warnings were discontinued on August 7 after Dot weakened below hurricane intensity" - isn't the bigger reason that Dot left the area, is why the warnings were dropped, not necessarily because of the decrease in winds?
  • I don't think so. All warnings were discontinued on the advisory that weakened Dot to tropical storm status, and at the time it was still impacting Kauai. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "Winds well into hurricane-force were reported in a station on Ka Lae." - how strong?
  •  Done - Replaced well into hurricane-force with 75 knots. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "Flooding also occurred on Oahu, though along the coast homes were unroofed and cars were damaged by flying projectiles after being subjected to winds estimated at 60 mph (95 km/h)" - why though?
  •  Done - Replaced 'though' with 'and'. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• I'm not quite sure what "to transfer ship" means
  •  Done - Changed to board. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "Another indirect death occurred in a traffic incident resulting from Dot's rainfall." - you should specify this was also on Lanai
  •  Done - Specified. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
• "Waves at Port Allen peaked at 35 ft (10.7 m)." - I feel this should be earlier in the paragraph. Ditto the rainfall
  •  Done - Shifted the aforementioned parts upward. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 17:31, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

All in all, a really good read! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
