1999 Atlantic hurricane season

Nominator(s): 12george1 (talk) 04:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

This article is about the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season, which featured an above average number of hurricanes and major hurricanes, with a record number of Category 4 hurricanes. During the season, several interesting events occurred. Hurricane Bret narrowly missed Corpus Christi. Hurricane Floyd posed a serious threat to Florida as a hurricane far larger in size than Hurricane Andrew. In the end, Floyd caused over 2.6 million people to evacuate and left devastating floods, especially from North Carolina to New York. Hurricane Lenny, a late season major hurricane took an unusual west-to-east path across the Caribbean Sea, before leaving severe damage in the Lesser Antilles. I've covered these facts and much more information in the article. Especially during the past few days, I've been working hard on this article in order to ensure that it includes FA standard grammar and format. I would also like to say that this is a WikiCup nomination.12george1 (talk) 04:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

• Quick comment. Ten sections start with "A tropical wave". Could you change that up a bit? Also, I can't help but wonder if we should have a little note in the Katrina section. It's a famous name, and some people might be a little bit confused if they don't know when the main Katrina was. The writing is generally good. I'll do some copyediting today if I see any clunky prose. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

• Only four sections start with that now. As for Katrina, that's kind of an unusual request, given that we've never really done anything like that. Let me see what I can do.--12george1 (talk) 17:00, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Closing comment -- three weeks without any further comment, I think this one's been lost in the list; feel free to re-nom without waiting the usual two weeks and perhaps it will get noticed at the top of the queue. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
