May Become a Tornado Outbreak Sequence?

The current outbreak is nearing the time limit that it can remain an outbreak. While I hope things die down, it looks more and more like this weather event may turn into an "Outbreak Sequence", with a chance of severe weather tonight and tomorrow. Everyone in the affected area: Please stay safe.--Halls4521 (talk) 22:04, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why May 22-27?

No tornadoes occurred on May 27, so why is it named May 22-27, 2016 tornado outbreak sequence? HurricaneGonzalo (talk) 21:16, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tornadoes were reported on May 27. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:18, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, shouldn't May 21 be included as well? There were tornadoes reported on that day, even though they haven't been confirmed or rated. Also, there is a section in the sypnosis about May 21, and I don't know whether it should be removed. Jh23487 (talk) 00:23, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We might as well leave off May 27, since I only found one confirmed tornado. TornadoLGS (talk) 15:13, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is better to keep it at May 22-26 instead, since the May 27 tornado was not related. Therefore, I have changed the page name, so situation resolved now. HurricaneGonzalo | Talk | Contribs 13:35, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ref Idea

ChessEric, TornadoLGS, TornadoInformation12, & Jh23487: You four were the main editors of the page, so I am letting you know that I added a ref idea template above that could be helpful for improvements. Elijahandskip (talk) 04:36, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I didn't even know you could do that. Also, I wouldn't really say I'm one of the main editors of this article; most of my fixes were for cosmetic reasons. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 05:02, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
