Although this isn't an official type of review, I'm just letting you know the one thing that needs to be fixed in order for this to be a b-class article
References 82 through 128 need to be cited correctly (following the style that the first 81 refs are cited)
Once those citations are done, I would be confident in putting it up for peer review then GA nom. I'll put it on my list :)

Hi, I will be reviewing this article which is currently at Good Article Nomination. I should have the review completed within an hour or two.

Un-bold the name of the article and link Hurricane Gustav there; remove the comma after days and unlink the second use of Gustav
Added this too, but I don't want to get too bogged down in the numbers. Nothing makes an article boring like a pile of numbers. I tried to stick to the big ones: peak wind speed and peak intensity.

Interaction with Haiti and Jamaica
Wikilink all place names, bodies of water and meteorology jargon
The section looks like a block of text overwhelmed by references, can you move the references around so that most of the sentences aren't interrupted by a reference?
Western Caribbean Sea
Wikilink all place names, bodies of water and meteorology jargon
A sudden drop in pressure–down 11 mbar (0.32 inHg) to 954 mbar (28.17 inHg) what time did this occur and how long did this take to happen?
Here, even as it brushed the island, Hurricane Gustav reached its peak strength of 150 mph (240 km/h). Add minimum pressure and the record wind gust recorded at landfall
All of the discussion at the time concluded the measurement must have been erroneous, but a little searching shows that the WMO confirmed it. Thanks - it makes a great addition.

Overall this is a very nice article, just minor things here and there. My main issue is the excessive referencing throughout the article. Some places there are three words then a double reference, highly unnecessary. If you can reduce the number of references using the TCR that would be preferable. My apologies for this review coming out much later than I said it would. I've been having internet issues all day and I lost connection shortly before finishing my review. I'm putting the article on hold to allow you to address these issues.

Not at all! Thanks for giving it such a thorough review! I'm sure you'll have more to say when you see what I have and haven't changed, but there's really no rush.

Impact isn't part of the meteorological history, and I am going to format the references when I can. It is going to take a little while. The Storm History in
Hurricane Gustav can probably be cut down now that this is written.
