• "The hurricane did $200,000 in damage to coastal installations on New York's Coney Island." - Can we find a better word than "did"? (That's rhetorical, replace it nao)

• I've been trying to find different ways to say that based on your suggestions, but a recent edit from Dank, one of the most experienced copyeditors on the project, seems to indicate that it's perfectly cromulent to say "the storm did damage." – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• "and overall damage amounted to $500,000." Boi we go through this every time. State 1896 USD.

• I added the 1896 thing to the first in-prose dollar value. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• "An apparent tornado north of the storm's track damaged destroyed a home and an outbuilding." - North of the storm's track could mean anywhere from a hair north of its landfall point to the North Pole. Specify where, unless it's not listed (I didn't check).

• The location is noted as "Lake Butler" north of the storm's track in Florida, but there are a number of places named Lake Butler that fit the bill, and I don't have anything else to go by. I could say as much in the article if you think it would help things. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• "Northeasterly gales and high tides affected northeastern portions of the state" - Ain't nobody know the definition of a gale, link it.

• Linked. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• "...while severe damage was reported in Virginia Beach." - What kind of damage?

• Added a bit more for Virginia Beach. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

• Halifax is a disambig link.

• Undisambigulated. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

As always, thanks for the review. I'm glad you didn't find any major issues. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
