"Ella headed westward and by August 31, it intensified into a Category 1 hurricane. Hours later, it strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale." - No need for "it", you already give the subject. And why mention the SSHWS on the second instance, not the first (in the first sentence quoted here)?
"The storm curved northwestward while south of Hispaniola and as a result, it struck the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti on September 1." - Same as above. No "it" and be sure to add a comma after "and"
"Ella reached the Gulf of Mexico on September 4 and briefly re-strengthened. However, it began to weaken again while approaching the Gulf Coast of the United States" - Combine and just end it with "on approach".
Eh, that looks kinda like a cliffhanger because it makes you wonder, "on approach" to what? However, I will add it anyway.--12george1 (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"A reconnaissance aircraft into Ella on August 30 reported sustained winds between between 55 and 60 mph (95 km/h)." - You already mention the date in the previous sentence.
"Ella strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane at 1200 UTC on August 31. Six hours later, the storm intensified further to a Category 2 hurricane." FUSION HAA!
"On September 1, Ella curved west-northwestward, and by later that day, it made landfall on the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti with winds of 110 mph (175 km/h)." - No it!
"Damage was minor in both Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, confined mostly to crops." - Change the names to "locations" so it reads "both locations".
"Heavy precipitation in Haiti caused flash floods that killed 30 people near Aux Cayes and three other people were listed as missing." - Comma after the city.
"Ella had a role in the Cuban Revolution as the government troops of Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar stayed in their barracks during the storm while the rebels made progress under cover of Ella. Later, when the guerrillas heard about Hurricane Fifi on the radio, Che Guevara taught his illiterate comrades that entities like tropical cyclones are named in alphabetical order." - this was in the season article. How come it's not mentioned? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:27, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
