Christmas 1994 Nor'easter[edit]

I'm looking to see what else this article might need in order to become a good article. Is there enough information to describe the event? Is it understandable? Are the grammar and spelling in good shape? Is there another source of information I might have missed?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thegreatdr (talkcontribs) 15:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]

It looks pretty good, but I think it should be longer. Is there any more storm history or impact? NCDC has some good info, such as this Connecticut report ($5 million in damage and 1 indirect death there), this Massachusetts report, North Carolina, New York, http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~ShowEvent~236393 Pennsylvania], Rhode Island, and Virginia.

Thanks for the head's up. I had no idea NCDC had this kind of information online for free outside the government. Thegreatdr 23:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, yea it's one of the best sources of impact info for tropical cyclones 1994 to the present. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per Andy Z and Hurricanehink, three of suggestions were filled, including adding information directly from NCDC, adding the nbsp's into the text, which led to breaking in impact into a state by state format which lengthened the article. I can see an infobox being useful. Since this system was not a tropical cyclone, I'm not sure what should be included or not included in such a box. Suggestions?

The info box was added. Thegreatdr 12:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
