Number of tornadoes

Were there 23, 24, or 27? The lead paragraph claims 27, the tornado summary claims 24, but the list only contains details for 23. What's the deal?-Running On Brains 03:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 19

This is the same storm that spawned the outbreak in Ontario the next day as well as the Toronto Supercell. Considering that the latter outbreak doesn't merit an individual article and that both events were from the same system, shouldn't we merge both events together.JForget 18:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge. WxGopher (talk) 00:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they should be merged as they were the same system. CrazyC83 (talk) 03:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First it is not the same day and it is not even in the same country, so it cannot be merge directly. Second, the Insurance Bureau of Canada has estimated that insured losses where the highest in the province's history, exceeding $500 million canadian dollars, and the second largest loss event in Canadian history (Meteorological Service of Canada (2009-11-27). "Ontario's Most Expensive Weather Disaster". Canada's Top Ten Weather Stories For 2005. Environment Canada. Retrieved 2010-06-13.). The article has been upgraded to be quite complete now, so It could be a sub-article of the Wisconsin outbreak but not a merge. Pierre cb (talk) 03:48, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I moved "Wisconsin Tornado Outbreak of August 2005" to "August 2005 Wisconsin tornado outbreak" to comply with IAW Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events). --Rosiestep (talk) 23:42, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Times and Path Lengths

All tornadoes having "1737" and a 0/0.0 path length in the table need to be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.109.61.159 (talk) 23:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the path lengths. As for the time, I'm confused by the UTC time, so I left that alone, for now. Zonafan39 (talk) 19:18, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Scale is outdated

This lists the tornado strengths in the old style Fujita scale which may not seem like a big difference but the the Enhanced Fujita scale does have slightly different parameters and is now the modern accepted tornado scale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.242.231.221 (talk) 20:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
