User:Emily.Potter2198/1955 Connecticut floods

Yes, this articles content is relevant to the topic. I do not believe that some ares are under or overdeveloped, but I do believe that a little more detail could be added to enrich the topic under all subcatagories.

This article is written neutrally.

Yes, each claim, date and number has a citation and yes they are reliable, as the article topic dates back to 1955.

Adding a citation....

In the first paragraph first sentence, I would change how it is worded. it currently states, "The Flood of 1955 was one of the worst floods in Connecticut's history."

I believe it should read, The Flood of 1955 was one of the greatest most natural disasters of floods that has ever occurred in Connecticuts history.

Also adding to the first paragraph, "the towns that suffered much loss include Farmington, Putnam, Naugatuck, Waterbury, and Winsted. 87 people died during the flooding, and property damage across the state was estimated at more than $200 million, in 1955 figures. The floods prompted changes in safety measures, river monitoring, and zoning laws." 1955 Connecticut floods

Instead, I believe it should read "there are many towns that suffered from significant damages and loss, while the flood struck Winsted, it also struck 70 other cities and towns in the state of Connecticut. The town that suffered the most amount of loss and damage was Winsted, as there was no other town that was as devastated and lost as much, including losing their entire downtown." "The property damage across the state was estimated at more than $200 million, in 1955 figures. The floods prompted changes in safety measures, river monitoring, and zoning laws." [2]
