• "the Galveston hurricane. This " why in italics?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• "striking ... strike" repetitive.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• The ACE thing again. Without knowing what this scale is really like, 130 is meaningless.

• I was hesitant to provide averages because I thought that such info would only available for more recent seasons, have higher ACE totals because of more cyclones and would not be a good representation of the early 20th century. But I found a source saying that the 1911-1920 average per season was 58.7--12george1 (talk) 06:48, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

• "least $250,000" etc, inflate all these values as more than a century ago, so no context for what that now means.
