Talk:Tornado outbreak sequence of January 7–11, 2008

message: More severe weather, possibly tornadoes, are forecast tomorrow in the South. Since it is from a separate system with a separation, this would have to be changed to an outbreak sequence to cover them here if they develop into an outbreak as well (but they could be covered in a separate section as well on Tornadoes of 2008 especially if there is no significant outbreak). That will need to be decided. CrazyC83 (talk) 13:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure it can be included here as it looks to be significant today based on the radars in the south, watching at ABC 33-40 on the web and already, there is a nasty cell in central MS with a tornado on the ground that caused damage. Also, not sure if some the content of the synopsis section be split into another section, so to talk possible more about the thaw, fog, damaging wind and flooding.--JForget  18:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd split that off to a separate section at the bottom, below the tornadoes (including any separate sections, if necessary should there be a destructive tornado or series of tornadoes today over a populated area or large swath) CrazyC83 (talk) 18:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I think we may have to add a section about that very impressive long-lived supercell since the reports from Caledonia and possibly Vernon and the tornado emergency. I haven't found the text for the emergency just yet.--JForget  20:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Outbreak sequence? 

message: To put the outbreaks/outbreak sequence in perspective, I've made and uploaded a map of all known tornadoes in the U.S. during January from 1950-2006.  The event was rare, but not unprecedented, for the northern extent of tornadoes in N IL/Wisconsin and the western extent of tornadoes in Oklahoma.  Evolauxia (talk) 21:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  FYI on January tornadoes 

message: Is this article region-specific or can the SW Washington tornado (http://www.columbian.com/news/localNews/2008/01/01102008_Tornado-causes-damage-in-Fruit-Valley-Hazel-Dell-Orchards.cfm) be included?  Although SW Washington's wasn't very large, it is important because it was the first significant tornado in the region since 1972.  If anyone is interested in doing the writing, I'll upload some photos I took of the aftermath. (Later edit: Forgot to sign, signing now.) --67.160.185.231 (talk) 00:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Completely separate event in a completely different area. That goes at Tornadoes of 2008#January 10 (Northwest US), although someone else is writing an article for that (not warranted IMO). CrazyC83 (talk) 13:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that a separate article is not warranted although am not opposed to a brief mention in this outbreak article, but in a separate section, stating that the WA event also happened (making it clear it's a separate system altogether) and wikilinking to Tornadoes of 2008#January 10 (Northwest US).

thread_title:  Recent death added 

message: The NCDC has updated the storm data up until January 31, 2008 which includes this outbreak. However, there are several differences with the list in this article including tornadoes that are in the article but not on the NCDC list, new tornadoes not in the article, tornadoes which has 2 different tracks in the article which in the NCDC has one longer track and even I won't be surprised, other with different Enhanced Fujita scale ratings. I could wait a few days/weeks before adding the update data as it may have been recently added to the archives.--JForget  16:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found something a bit strange on the NCDC data... Here it says that there were 75 confirmed tornadoes during the outbreak but when I looked through and recorded all the tornadoes, it totaled to 67 (exluding the one in Washington). I know I didn't miss any as I've double-checked each one to make sure I was correct. I'm not sure if they're missing any though...Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If they are missing from an office that has some released, then probably they were removed from the final count (i.e. later analysis found to be straight-line winds or just a funnel cloud). If an entire office is missing, then it probably hasn't been released yet. However, I'd wait a little while before removing it from the official list. CrazyC83 (talk) 14:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
