Article Evaluations
The Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article is extremely thorough in its description of the socioeconomic and political aspects of the storm. It provides detailed accounts of the preparations made before the storm, the storm's impact and aftermath, and government response to the storm. All of the information is generally unbiased, as the article is just a list of facts about the storm. Even the section on the criticism of the United States government's response to Hurricane Katrina was impartial, as it simply described (and cited) other people's points of view. The reference list is extensive, with nearly 200 citations. However, the meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina is notably lacking in detail. This section provides a broad description of the storm's track and development, but offers little to no information on the science behind Katrina (e.g. the storm's steering, rapid intensification, and decay). The cited sources are reputable, but it is quite clear that this article has been edited mainly by people with strong backgrounds in social science, not atmospheric science.

The 2009 North American Christmas Blizzard was not as impactful as Hurricane Katrina, so it is to be expected that the article not be as extensive as the one for Katrina. But, the article on the blizzard does not even have a section depicting the meteorological history of the storm. This article needs quite a bit of editing for it to be a comprehensive description of that weather event.
