Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on July 18, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that tornadoes in the United States (example pictured) are most frequent in Tornado Alley?

May 3 Sources

[edit]

Undoubtedly, much of the information in the final paragraph of the intensity section is true, but I would suggest possibly adding new sources, for that paragraph only cites the same source on multiple occasions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin V.

Number of F5 and EF5 tornadoes

[edit]

In the intensity section, it claims that Alabama has been hit by the most F5 and EF5 tornadoes, with seven, but seeing how two EF5 tornadoes hit Oklahoma in May 2013 since then, Alabama no longer holds the record for most F5 and EF5 tornadoes, but rather, the state of Oklahoma does, with 8 F5 and EF5 tornadoes.

"Douglas" reference

[edit]

There are 15 references to a book by Mr / Ms Douglas but none of them contains a full reference, they all say only "Douglas page xx". 5.147.248.22 (talk) 19:58, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All those short references were broken by not including the year in the "Harvard" reference template, plus someone in Australia removing the Bibliography subsection back in 2011. After the issue was highlighted as still unresolved on a website we are discouraged from mentioning on-wiki, Doctor Duh and I have now fixed it, so once more those and references to Lyons and Bluestein reveal their identity by hovering over them.

Movies, TV, games section

[edit]

I started copy editing a new (as of two weeks ago) section on this page, titled "Tornadoes In Movies, TV Shows, And Games." Partway through, I decided to just hide the section, as it occurred to me that its content isn't actually suited to this page, as it's about fictional tornadoes which are not limited to the US. I feel like this content should go elsewhere, maybe on a "list of fictional storms," or "media about tornadoes," if it stays as written (plus a lot of copy editing). If it were rewritten, maybe as a list of much briefer entries, it would be more suitable for this article. That's my take on it - am I mistaken? Thanks.

Reformatting this article

[edit]

I just made a template for tornadoes in North America, and I came across this article. I propose that this article be reformatted along the lines of what List of United States hurricanes looks like, and include every state, the number of tornadoes by each intensity, some climatology, any record-tornadoes, whatnot.

Also, when I made the template, I realized there are only five states with dedicated lists. It's just a matter of eventually creating all of them. Such a list should the number of tornadoes by intensity by state. As such, think there is some need for the following state lists, which are in the top ten by GDP. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:26, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
