1909 Atlantic hurricane season[edit]

The 1909 Atlantic hurricane season was a destructive year with all but one of the 13 known tropical cyclones impacting land. Collectively, these storms killed at least 4,673 people and caused more than US$77.3 million in damage. Haiti, Mexico, and the United States were especially hard-hit, each seeing hundreds to thousands of fatalities. In July, a Category 3 hurricane struck Texas, killing 41 people. Another major hurricane in August inflicted catastrophic damage in and around Monterrey, Mexico, and was one of the deadliest on record in the Atlantic hurricane basin, killing an estimated 4,000 people in the country. The season's third major hurricane struck Cuba and Louisiana in September, killing an estimated 400 people. In October, the year's final major hurricane caused significant damage in western Cuba and southern Florida. The season ended with a Category 2 hurricane that produced prolific rainfall across the Greater Antilles, killing at least 198 people.

This destructive early 20th century season has been ready for nominating for a few years, with all of the articles being up to par. This was a collective effort between 12george1, TheAustinMan, and myself. --~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 20:06, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Looks like all the notable hurricanes and the season article at GA, with a navbox (which I cleaned up to include all the links) and category. Great work! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 20:24, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support ~~Comments~~ in the main article, merge the first and second sentences of the second para in the Tropical Storm Three sub-section by using a semi-colon and center the refs in the column, removing the full-stop before a group of them. A merge can also be done of the second and third sentences in the impact section of 1909 Grand Isle hurricane, adding a comma followed by "while" to do so. I also take issue with a ref in the infobox of 1909 Florida Keys hurricane since even though the fatalities figure belongs there, you can write this out in the impact section of the body at the end. Besides these issues, great job on finding this much info about the hurricanes from reliable sources, also the summary is really well-written with the references to each article! --K.

Hi Cyclonebiskit, did you have a chance to address Kyle's comments above? – Aza24 (talk) 00:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Aza24, I have taken care of these comments for him. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 03:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is very dedicated of you to have handled these issues, even if it has come at a late stage in time! --K. Peake 17:13, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Looks complete—obviously not every hurricane has an article but looking at the main season article I can't see any that don't have one and would warrant it, this seems as complete in scope as notability permits. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 16:04, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
