I'll be taking on this review in the next few days Secret account 21:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do you know why the storm was called the "1815 North Carolina hurricane", any official sources that uses that name?
  • " First detected far eastward of the Lesser Antilles on 26 August...." I don't think "far" is needed.
  • "with other portions of the northwestern extremities of the Leeward Islands noting the storm as well." - did it cause any damage there, also the words "extremeities of the" is redundant as Saint Barthélemy is pretty much the most northwestern of the 15 or so island chain.
  • Do we know the estimated wind-field of this storm outside of being "a hurricane"?
  • I don't think "within the vicinity of the Raccoon Keys" is needed, Cape Romain does have a wikilink
  • " Massive waves began to cause" began to cause < caused
  • How can a gristmill be "lifted" - reword
  • Try to avoid the wording "as well", as the reader knows that the storm caused damage.
  • "A second house was also driven away" - houses don't drive, reword
  • "Nearby at the Shackleford and Bogue Banks, several other watercraft" remove other
  • "and many people made to escape" made to escape < escaped
  • Image is free, I don't see any close paraphrasing concerns, I'll AGF on the off-line sources.

Just fix those minor nitpicks and it should be good to go. Thanks Secret account 01:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

'The 1815 North Carolina hurricane caused the most severe flooding in New Bern, North Carolina since 1795.'

Worst local flood for 20 years doesn't seem very notable. Valetude (talk) 15:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
