message: The source being used for this list does not include Alabama as a victim of Georges, despite the fact that the neighbors on either side are included.  The only death in the U.S. from this hurricane occurred in Alabama, and there was signficant damage.  In fact, in the storms in the last 35 years, this hurricane probably makes Alabama's top 5.  Whatever the criteria for deciding what hurricanes affected what states are, I think this needs to be re-examined.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.114.142 (talk) 01:29, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The criteria is simple: it needs to produce hurricane-force winds over that state while a tropical cyclone (either directly measured or analyzed by data). In the case of Georges, no part of Alabama had winds over tropical storm force. Florida is included because it hit the Keys - not the Panhandle - as a Category 2.

message: A few notes about this section in the main article:
A count of 22 ("out of the 30 costliest Atlantic hurricanes") is in disagreement with the reference. I do not believe any similar count is stated explicitly in the reference but it is simple enough to count the small numbers involved in the tables now referenced in the article.
There are multiple issues with the Journalist's Resource reference (link to reference). It is secondary to a primary (link to primary source) given in the secondary itself. The secondary makes statements that are very different than the statements in the primary and it severely cherry picks.
*The secondary states that "No other 20-year period has more than 3 top 30 storms" when the primary states "No other 2-year period has ...".
*The secondary states that "the preceding periods of 1976-1985 and 1986-1995 were 'anomalously benign,'" while the primary states "how anomalously benign the 1970s and 1980s were in comparison to the rest of the record". The secondary gives the impression of a forward going downward trend, while the primary clearly says "in comparison to the rest of the record" comparing forward and backward. The secondary says "1976-1985 and 1986-1995" instead of "1970s and 1980s" apparently to support their added phrase "the preceding periods", which is, honestly, rather strange and, actually, unnecessary, apparently to also add to the impression of a foward going downward trend. The entry does end with "since 1900" which gives some context, but if context was the desired effect why not make the entire entry accurate, with the clearer context given in the primary.
*The secondary says "The decade 1996–2005 has the second most damage" leaving out the remainder of the sentence in the primary, which is "among the past 11 decades, with only the decade 1926–1935 surpassing its costs."
*The secondary states "Adjusted for inflation, population, and wealth, hurricane-related damages steadily increased from 1900 to 2005." The primary states "The two normalized data sets reported here show no trends". Not only does the data not show the trend stated, the secondary itself flat out states that it does not.
There is a more recent study that is very similar to the primary one mentioned above, and has one contributor in common with it, Roger Pielke Jr. (link to 1900 to 2017 study). I do not have the time right now, nor may I for a while, to add content to the Wikipedia article based on the more recent study. Anybody is welcome to try to make an objective contribution using it.

thread_title:  Impact 

message: The separate tables for states should be merged into a single table sortable by state name, category, date, dollar amount of damage, amount of federal emergency spending, etc.  Please discuss.CountMacula (talk) 21:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That is a fair idea, but I had other thoughts about each individual state. I have been considering what this article should look like (since working on Draft:Tropical cyclone effects by region). I think we should have a summary for each state. It's nice having the table for each state, but I think we should also include the costliest/deadliest/strongest storm in each state. We should also go beyond just hurricane status, and mention the most significant TC effects for each state. Some could be combined, like Washington and Oregon both having their highest rainfall from Ignacio 97, Olivia 82 being the wettest in Idaho and Utah, Javier 04 being the wettest in ND and WY, Lester 92 being the wettest in CO, SD, and MN. Other states with more substantial impacts (like Ike 08 in Ohio) will get more of a mention. IDK if we should mention every state, or go by region. This article covers the coastal states really well (and wherever there were actual hurricanes), but a longtime concern of mine has been the non-hurricanes in the US. Georgia should mention Alberto 94 being the wettest storm, even though it was only a TS. Just some thoughts. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  03:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
