 * Yep. Seeing as this was the costliest hurricane in history at the time, we should have pretty high standards for it. — jdorje (talk) 03:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I recall reading a book about Diane's flooding in the late fifties. I think it was a mass-market paperback. It might be a good source. Btw, see also docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/hurricanes/QC9452D53H81955b.pdf, a NOAA preliminary report on Diane written a few days after the storm.C. Cerf (talk) 16:07, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Merge?
Should Flood of 1955 (Connecticut) be merged, given most of that content will appear in this article, or should it be kept as a stub sub-article? (and perhaps retitled to Effects of Hurricane Diane in Connecticut. I'm not done my research yet for this article, but I figured I'd bring it up. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:17, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It depends if the damage between the two hurricanes can be differentiated or not. If it's impossible to tell which hurricane did what, then I'd say keep it as a sub-article of both storms. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:29, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The floods mostly only were the result of Diane. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:40, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Then merge it into this article for now. If the section becomes huge, then create an "Effects of Hurricane Diane in Connecticut" article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Is this source correct?
I'm translating this article to Chinese, found a little problem about the source.

References 24:

But this link is exactly the same as reference 23:

Both link are the same, so is this correct? I try to search this title: "Tropical Cyclone Rainfall in the Mid– Atlantic", found this link: http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/rain/tcmidatl.html, with the information "Big Meadows, VA" "11.72" "Diane", so I guess should be this link right?--Jarodalien (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Err, oops, yep you're right! Thanks :) ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:14, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Damages
Can you please double check the damages cited for Diane. When writing this article you cited HURRICANES OF 1955 which states:

"As Diane moved inland and continued northward, the damage figures began to mount. Damage has been estimated at $754,706,000 of which $600,000,000 occurred in New England. These figures are admittedly incomplete and direct plus indirect damage would indicate that Diane earned the appelation of "the first billion-dollar hurricane."

However, the List of retired Atlantic hurricane names currently cites The Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones from 2005 which claims that the damage total was $831 million. This total also appears in previous editions of The Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones as early as 1978 and feels more reliable.Jason Rees (talk) 13:21, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
