Storm summeries
That table has to go. We need to add storm summeries for notable storms or all the storms. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde 22:15, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Spot-check:
- "In Cuba, moderately gusty winds and torrential rainfall were reported from Santa Clara to Pinar del Río, with the worst impact conditions being experienced in Matanzas. There, the San Juan and Yumurí rivers overflowed, causing water to rise 10 ft (3.0 m) above most houses. Civil guards and troops assisted rescue work and evacuation of residents." – This checks out.
- "Furniture in 325 houses were swept away by the floodwaters. About 450 head of cattle drowned. Additionally, 600,000 bags of sugar stored in warehouses were lost." – Ditto.
- "During this time, the steamship Duart Castle encountered the system; rough seas caused severe damage to the ship and shifted around its cargo, injuring six people." – This matches too.
- "The New York Times noted that nearly all weather stations across the Gulf Coast of the United States reported rainfall in association with this storm." – This works as well.
- "While crossing through the archipelago, storm surge and abnormally high tides caused several vessels to flounder. On land, the hurricane destroyed many dwellings, severely damaged plantations, and killed "a quantity of cattle", according to The Times." – Details match here.
@12george1: Some changes to be suggested:
- moderately gusty winds and torrential rainfall →
modest winds and heavy rainfall
(avoid plagiarism) - Furniture in 325 houses were swept away by the floodwaters. About 450 head of cattle drowned. Additionally, 600,000 bags of sugar stored in warehouses were lost. →
Floodwaters swept away furniture in 325 houses, killed roughly 450 head of cattle, and carried off 600,000 bags of sugar in warehouses.
(Same as above.) - Many places are linked twice or more. Maybe the duplicates can be removed?
Aside from these issues, everything else looks good. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 06:01, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
