I added the original image to this article which depicts Leslie at its peak intensity as an extratropical cyclone during that time frame.

@B dash: added this image which is Leslie shortly after becoming an extratropical cyclone.

@LightandDark2000: My question is, which do you guys prefer. I personally like the Original better as it shows the peak as an ET. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 04:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see of Leslie's track, it did not impact bermuda. I may be wrong about this though, I'm going to check the NHC's archive. Also I removed the US East Coast as being affected, because Leslie never came close to the East Coast. Remember....articles have to remain factual. GokuSS400 (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: After reviewing Weather.com's track of Leslie, I'm going to remove Bermuda as being affected as it was too far away, and no watches/warnings were ever issued for Bermuda either GokuSS400 (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It never affected the US or Bermuda directly, although it did bring high surf to the areas, it might be helpful to clarify, however I would remove your edits BananaIAm (talk) 18:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the longest duration list for Atlantic tropical cyclones it shows Leslie as number 4. I’m just here to ask if this is true or not. Leslie supposedly lasted longer than Nadine of 2012. Does anyone have a scource for this claim? Swivel Here (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Deaths need to be more detailed. The Portugal ones literally have nothing other than they died. The France ones need more detail as well. Details such as how people died, location, etc..
• TCR should be added, but is not required. Figfires^{Send me a message!} 18:03, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is late and probably doesn't matter, but the TCR isn't out yet so it can't be added quite yet. --YellowSkarmory (talk) 00:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, what in the heck is wrong with the link for Leslie's Tropical Cyclone Report? The link ends up leading to a page with a message stating that "access is forbidden" (and this is the first time that I've come across something like this for any TCR page). Does anyone know what's going on here? Maybe someone should message one of the analysts at the NHC to notify them of this issue. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 09:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is very-well written. I found a handful of issues (mostly minor ones), but other than that, the article is a solid candidate for a GAN. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a few spelling corrections throughout the article. Please could someone check the section "Initial peak intensity and weakening" - in the second paragraph, there's a line that reads "Convection rtiringed over the storm's center later that day" - however I can't figure out what "rtiringed" is actually meant to say. (Also, forgive me for being dumb, but why hasn't this been protected due to it being the featured article? Vandalism is a thing.) Jack talk 09:11, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jmtlr, I've just put in a request for semi-protection at WP:RFPP. The "rtiringed" was leftover vandalism and was originally "refired". ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 09:52, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article says: "Multiple waterspouts occurred in the Gallic portion of France."

First, waterspouts occur in the ocean, so wouldn't it be better to say "near" France?

Second, what is the "Gallic portion of France"? Isn't all of France Gallic?

It also says "Collectively, €17 million (US$20 million) was paid in advance to claimants."

In advance of what? I'm sure no insurance company paid damage claims before the damage occurred.
