"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 | Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I added the 1896 thing to the first in-prose dollar value. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
"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 | Talk 03:23, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
"Northeasterly gales and high tides affected northeastern portions of the state" - Ain't nobody know the definition of a gale, link it.
