"The 1931 Belize hurricane was the deadliest hurricane in the history of Belize, killing 2,500 people." - this could be stronger and more attention grabbing. In September 1931, a hurricane struck Belize and killed an estimated 2,500 people, the deadliest on record in the country. Only, Belize wasn't a country until 1982, so I'm not sure about the best wording.
Go with my wording (which I changed slightly), if that's OK. I found another source backing it up - [1] - even if that might not be the most reliable to cite. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"by which time it began to rapidly intensify. The tropical cyclone quickly attained Category 4 hurricane intensity." - could you merge these?
"Moving across the Yucatán Peninsula, the tropical cyclone weakened, and continued to weaken when it moved across the Bay of Campeche. " - can you remove the double "weaken"s
"The storm strengthened further before reaching its peak intensity with as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 135 mph (215 km/h) at 1800 UTC." - weird wording
