How to write Impact sections for landfalling hurricanes in the United States
[edit]Here I will go over my tips on writing impact sections for landfalling hurricanes in the United States. I am not an expert, do not call me as a witness for this, these are just my personal guidelines.
General Format
[edit]An Impact section should begin with the broad overview, then go into detail about each region, typically in chronological order of when each region was affected by the storm. For most hurricanes, this typically means that the US impacts will be near the end. For the US specifically, if certain states were heavily impacted, those states should have their own subsections. For heavily affected coastal states, subsections may be ordered as follows: significant observations in the state (winds, surge, rain), general impact in the state (deaths, damage, numbers of power outages etc), specifics near the coast, specifics inland.
Content
[edit]The start of the section should contain a brief overview of the storms effects, numbers of deaths, injuries, total damage, and some of the very broad effects, save specifics for later in the article. If detailed statistics are available, it may be helpful to include a table of the damage/deaths by region or state.
Sources
[edit]For older hurricanes, sources may be somewhat more difficult to find as compared to newer ones. Besides NHC preliminary reports, info in Storm Data, and write-ups by local NWS offices, the following may be helpful.
Newspapers: There are a few newspaper archives, and these can be searched by text. For text, search the storm name and words like "damage," "outages," "flooding," "storm," roofs." Set the date range to be the month of the storm and possibly the month after for stories about local communities. These usually give some detail for noteworthy buildings affected (schools, churches, local landmarks) and a general overview for everything else (trees being down, store windows blowing out, houses losing their roofs etc).
FRASER: Major digital archive of federal reserve publications, documents etc. Some of these publications can contain details about significant hurricanes in the US. Often the details may not be helpful, but they can sometimes have important data relating to industries affected by hurricanes, relief expenditures, local economic effects etc.
