Fix the spelling and grammar errors. The storm history could use better explaination. My biggest problem is with the impact section, namely in Pennsylvania and New England. I find it very odd that the National Hurricane Center report says there were no reports of damage from Lili. It is common knowledge that newspaper sources tend to exaggerate a bit, and given that the NHC report was issued after the newspaper report, I am uncomfortable that two-thirds of the impact section is based on one newspaper source which may or may not be correct. If a more official source can attribute the flooding in Pennsylvania to Lili, that works, but if not, I think perhaps it should be removed until further evidence is provided.

Hehehehe. Harkening back to what I just placed on the Hermine and TC project talk pages, for my purposes, I wouldn't consider the impact on the northern Mid-Atlantic and New England to be direct, and the rain shields from the frontal band and Lili were completely separate, so I don't anticipate including Lili (1990) into the TC rainfall project. Its interaction with Marco is documented here. DeLuca and Vallee didn't include Lili of 1990 as even an indirect impact into their rainfall climatology...yet included Lili of 1996 which was much farther offshore. Canada did not mention rainfall with Lili of 1990 either. I'd suggest digging around the web or the AMS website a bit to see if anyone in the research community has published anything on Lili of 1990, other than its effects on Marco/Klaus.
