I found an AMS paper talking about Juliette. It turns out that it was one of the wettest tropical cyclones in point storm total rainfall in Baja California for the past quarter century. I'll add the reference/text in the next couple days. Thegreatdr19:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone is curious on how I found the damages, I found that Juliette caused $175 million dollars in damage in 2001, per this site. Though it says dollars, it means pesos, I asked my spanish friend (luckily enough I have one). After that, I converted $175 million pesos to USD using this monetary converter site. I wasn't sure of the date, so I chose late December. Then I inflated it to 2005 USD. If this is disallowed, I can remove it, but feel free to comment if necessary.

Did we agree on that (I forget)? The whole money thing is a little confusing, so until we change all of them, we should keep it as it is. Hurricanehink20:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We haven't really agreed yet. But that's how it was done in the Cuba document. I agree, until we start changing all of them, we should keep it as it is. — jdorje (talk) 21:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the lead and body, should damages be adjusted for inflation in a parenthetical? I am assuming they were $188 million in 2001, which is >$333 million today.
"...Eastern Pacific Ocean, which quickly reorganized" I am not familiar with meteorological terminology; is this inferring the ocean is doing the reorganizing, or the storm?
Does "the Hurricane Hunters" refer to anyone specifically or just weather hunters in general? If the latter, the linked article does not use capitals to describe them; if the former, is there a more accurate link or title to use for them?
Even as someone who is not familiar with this science, the Meteorological History section was straightforward and I was able to follow it without much issue.
WHOO! Sorry I just gotta thank you for pointing that out. I try and strike the balance between scientific terms but not getting too jargony. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The 6,000 people in 45 shelters could be clarified as just in Baja
Perhaps a statement at the start of the Impact section that is like "But Nicaragua did not sustain any major damage" would make that intro a little bit more comprehensive and fluid
That's a tricky thing to prove. We don't usually include when storms don't do something, like if storms fail to cause much damage. So I moved that to the met history. It felt out of place before. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Earlier while Juliette was near its peak intensity..." earlier as in comparison to what?
I changed it to more of a space reference, when it was offshore southern Mexico. The wind measurement was a little bit notable since it was gale force, which warranted some tropical storm warnings. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"one related to an American surfer" was the person who died related to an American surfer? If so, I don't think that is particularly relevant to include
I've done some minor ce and wikilinking throughout the article; as always, feel free to revert anything you take umbrage with and we can discuss further
References
Are The Frederick News Post and Fairbanks Daily News Miner reliable sources for Pacific hurricanes? My inclination is yes but I would like to check because I can't find very much on them. All other sources look to be generally reliable.
I think the fact that newspapers covered the storm is more of reflection of its notability, showing up in farflung places. I might be able to replace some of those references with URLs, but that was from the early internet. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Earwig is currently down for me, I will include checks for close paraphrasing in my spot checks but don't anticipate any issues.
Spot-checks (10% of refs) for source integrity and plagiarism on refs 4, 29, 31 (this seems to state a US surfer was killed, not someone related to them), and 49 are all good. Ref 39, "Latitude 38" seems to be a local blog. The knocking down of some ships also seems more inconsequential than a lot of the other impact. Is there a strong need for this sentence and reference?
Regarding Latitude 38, I felt it was useful to include it to have some form of impact outside of Los Cabos. By the nature of reporting, the tourist and popular areas tend to get the most coverage. If that still seems too minor, I can remove it, but I liked having an additional example of impacts. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
