Merge With Draft

[edit]

Good day editors. I would like to see if there is a way I can merge the draft I created, Draft:2024 Gulf Coast derecho with this article, as the creator of this article neglected to check for any drafts prior to its creation. Thank you!IrishSurfer21 (talk) 02:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IrishSurfer21:  Done! Also a P.S., I left the name as "2024 Houston derecho" as NOAA has formally named it the "Houston derecho". The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to 2024 Southern Derecho?

[edit]

I understand it is mostly about the Derecho that happened in Houston but it talk about outside of Houston and Louisiana. That's why I was suggesting the rename. Cwater1 (talk) 01:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Houston derechoMay 16 Houston derecho – Another derecho is happening today which is about to hit Houston (as of writing this) after it just hit Dallas. Cobblebricks (talk) 18:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before I support or oppose, what is your source for today being classified a derecho? A quick google search for "Houston derecho" doesn't turn up anything today, with two news articles yesterday about the one on May 16. My current stance is "Oppose" until a source is found. Once source is found, then maybe "Support", but I would reassess at that time. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:57, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Switching stands to strong oppose — Even the National Weather Service office in Houston didn’t mention it as a “derecho” in their latest press release. They called them “severe storms”. For me to reconsider, I need to see at least 3 news articles or a statement from the National Weather Service saying May 28 was a “derecho”.

I can't find any sources that have May 28th as a derecho; NWS Houston / Galveston refers to them as severe storms. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 18:39, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong oppose per all above; not a derecho. Also, WP:CRYSTAL, this was suggested before the system even hit Houston.
