Which article are you evaluating?
February 13–17, 2021 North American winter storm

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it was a recent event that affected many in the Gulf Coast region. When I looked at the Wikipedia page for the storm, I saw that it did not include the inequitable impact the storm had on low-income and minority communities and also had some organizational issues.

Evaluate the article
This article does not address how the storm impacted low-income and minority communities disproportionately (especially in Houston), especially since these communities were also those already hit hardest by the pandemic. I think it would be a valuable addition either as a separate heading or subheading under impact. Also, the "Aftermath" section is extremely short and could benefit from additional information about the long-term consequences of the storm, such as legislative plans to improve Texas' energy infrastructure. One other potential change could be to separate the "Preparations and impact" section into two separate section with a more concise summary of preparations and a full section just for "Impact" detailing the storm's effects. I think this would aid the organizational clarity. Also, even though there is already a separate page on the Texas power crisis, including a separate section on this page referencing the Texas power grid's failure could be beneficial for additional context.
