Not the only F3 tornado in Washington history, but the only F3 in Oregon history[edit]

Washington has been hit by two other F3 tornadoes. One was on the same day as the Portland-Vancouver tornado in Creston (a suburb of Spokane) and the first one was in Saltwater Park, in the town of Des Moines (a suburb of Seattle) on December 12, 1969. This was, however, the only recorded F3 in Oregon. Refer to www.tornadohistoryproject.com and search Washington State (F3) and Oregon (F3) and you people will see what I mean. In Central Oregon there was an F1 in Springfield on November 24, 1989 and in Southern Oregon an F1 in Klamath Falls on May 19, 1962 but I should really respect the talk page guidelines. Nevertheless all this came from the same sourced material on http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com which I think is pretty reliable but may only be a primary source.--Kevjgav (talk) 09:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another reliable source is tornadoproject.com[edit]

You can also refer to www.tornadoproject.com/alltorns/worstts.htm to verify about the other F3 on April 5, 1972 was in Creston and the first one on December 12, 1969 was in Saltwater Park. And use the other site I gave all of you to verify that the other two were both F3. I also want you registered users to know that my intentions are good as far as the work I submit goes and my intentions are not to vandalize but I understand that if my work is deleted it was probably because it was irrelevant to the article and may have been off topic. I am still new, so I have no way of knowing what Wikipedia will keep and what will be deleted.--Kevjgav (talk) 13:29, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
