Great job for a season this far back. It's very close to GA status, but I noticed a few errorz.

"until the dissipation of the known system on October 24" - I wasn't sure whether you meant "last known system" or something else
"reached the equivalence of hurricane intensity on the modern-day Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale" - technically the SSHS has categories. The 64 kt being a hurricane was established before the SSHS. Maybe mention the scale in the second half of the sentence when you do mention the categories?
"The first hurricane was also the strongest by both winds and pressure" - I'm not sure why the "also" is there
"As a rule" - ehh, I'm not a fan of that wording when describing the three storms collectively
I think in the methodology section, you should specify that the barometric pressure readings were estimates as well
I think you should avoid the local time in the H1 section, considering the infobox on the right uses the UTC times and every other hurricane article does the same
"although it dissipated a couple days later." - was it confirmed the storm dissipated? Or were there just no more ship reports?
"and 300 head of cattle in the flood on Cat Island" - that's an incomplete sentence (unless you mean the cattle were ruined o.O )
"It is first detected" - any reason for present tense?

Also, any reason you didn't use the Partagas info directly? There seems to be a lot of good info there.

I'll put it on hold for now, since I think the issues are small enough, and that Partagas paper easily enough to incorporate, to accomplish finishing it within one week. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review; I think I addressed all of your specific points, and I added some details on shipping threats from the Partagas paper. Juliancolton (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
