I concur. I believe NOAA refers to this storm (correctly) as the Cuba-Florida Hurricane of 1944. I believe the title of the article should be changed to that. Anyone else agree? Can anyone change the title of the article to the Cuba-Florida Hurricane of 1944?

I personally don't care for those combined names. Cuba-Florida, Havana-Bermuda. It's not chrisp or concise. Sounds like a sports game or a plane flight. Sea Islands Hurricane. Fort Lauderdale Hurricane. Labor Day Hurricane. Those titles are much more appealing to me. If a hurricane was not given a title by the media of the time, I would pick the area greatest affected. For example, in the Florida hurricanes article I wrote, there was a storm in 1945 or '49 that the MWR said mostly affected the Everglades rather than any city in Florida so I called it the Everglades Hurricane. If the storm made landfall in a big city, then you can use that even if the devastating effects included other areas (ex: Ft. Lauderdale). I do agree that Sanibel Island Hurricane is too specific for a name not chosen by the media. If it were to be changed, it probably should have something to do with Cuba. I wonder if there's a specific region that includes Cuba and Florida. --

Obviously, I have been expanding this article. Hopefully, it will receive GA status when I am finished. Currently, I am expanding the preparations section. I have one question regarding the prose of the sentence in bold.
"58 warnings and advisories were issued by the U.S. Weather Bureau during the nine day period when the storm impacted the western Caribbean islands and United States.[2] In Miami, watches and warnings were broadcast via microphones at two to three-hour intervals when the hurricane threatened the state. The Red Cross reported 35,000 people were sheltered during the storm, which accounted for a small portion of those whom evacuated.[2] 150 small vessels were secured in Key West, while operational Army and Navy planes were transferred from Florida to safer airfields. In Cuba, communications were severed on the Isles of Pines, though Havana received ample warnings and was well prepared for the storm.[4]"
Do you think it is gramatically correct? Additionally, do you believe the first sentence is too long?
It looks great for the most part. The only thing I'd like to see is a total estimate of people evacuated, but if that's not possible that the preps section is great. Cuban preps should probably go after the first sentence, IMO. Keep up the good work.

I was going to see if someone else would review this. But it's been more than two weeks and no takers yet. So I guess I will review this now--

"a normalization of landfalling storms based on 2018 demographics suggested that an equivalent storm in 2018 would rank among the costliest U.S. hurricanes with a damage toll approaching that of Hurricane Sandy." - Can you re-write that so that 2018 isn't mentioned twice? I also think this could be a sentence by itself
"effects remains unclear due a dearth of conclusive reports from" - due to a dearth
