 * "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  &#124; 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  &#124; 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  &#124; 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  &#124; 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  &#124; Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Halifax is a disambig link.
 * Undisambigulated. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
