While cost is important, and deserves mention in the lead, it shouldn't be the opening metric. It's not comparable over time, partly because it is a nominal, not real dollars, and it doesn't adjust for increased cost of material.[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 13:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC) |

Concerns about this article
Emphasis on cost in opening sentence
I am concerned that the opening sentence emphasizes the cost of the season. While that's a relevant metric, there are a number of relevant metrics, many of which dessert mention ahead of cost. In an article about a specific season, a reader may be interested to see how the season compares to other seasons. Measures such as:
- number of storms
- number of storms by strength
- number of storms making landfall
- aggregate intensity (ACE)
are all metrics that are comparable over time. While cost is important, and deserves mention in the lead, it shouldn't be the opening metric. It's not comparable over time, partly because it is a nominal, not real dollars, and it doesn't adjust for increased cost of material.S Philbrick(Talk) 13:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Editing issues
The second sentence of season summaries starts
The first was considerably inactive
. after examining the edit history I think this resulted from botched editing and should say
The first half was considerably inactive
. However, while that change might be trivial, it begs the question of sourcing. What reliable source says that the first half of the year in 2019 was "considerably inactive"?S Philbrick(Talk) 13:40, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
