[edit] Todo

Clarify the first sentence, and perhaps (if you can find a source), say "Henri was one of X cyclones to enter the Gulf of Mexico without making landfall". Wikilinking could be better, such as linking landfall. More sourcing is needed for the storm history. The SH could also use some more clarification; a low-pressure system formed seems a bit strange. Some operational predictions would be cool, if available (like, on X date, Henri was predicted to strike Y with Z winds). Also, the satellite pic should be in the Infobox. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Added a rainfall image. Use it wisely. Thegreatdr (talk) 04:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, as always. Just curious - was the rainfall in Florida related to the storm? A newspaper states that it is, but they're newspapers, and you're the expert ;) ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure moisture from the storm fed up the frontal boundary. I could look again through the Daily Weather Map series, and see if I need to include Florida. Thegreatdr (talk) 06:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA passed

Well done, this article is Good Article. Some things for the future:

  1. The article says Henri caused flooding. How much did it cost to repair?
  2. Why did you mention that the coastlines are "oil-rich"? It doesn't add anything. Also, why did you say that it was the hurricane's motion caused people to evacuate?

Once again, good job and good luck! Shrewpelt (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
