Corrections
If a number looks wrong, we want to know. Corrections are made openly and logged here.
01
Reports go to the top of the queue.
Reporting an error
Tell us four things:
- The page address.
- The figure, as it appears on the page.
- What you believe is correct.
- A source, if you have one: a National Weather Service damage survey, a newspaper report or an agency record.
Write to hello@stormworn.com with “Correction” in the subject.
02
We never edit an agency's figures; we report them upstream.
How a report is handled
Many apparent errors trace back to the source data. What happens next depends on where the error is.
| Where the error is | What we do |
|---|---|
| Our joins, labels or text | Fixed in the next build, and logged below. |
| The source data, such as a misdated storm report or a mis-coded county | Noted below and reported to the agency that publishes the data. Official figures are not altered. |
03
Newest first. Every data build adds a line.
