Talk:List of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks

message: Shall the divisions by time period be retained, and rows color coded by region; or, shall North American events be subdivided by region? 
Should events in Bermuda and other islands not in the Caribbean be included in Central America and Caribbean? Evolauxia 01:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe make an "Other areas" section?  Could be used if there was ever a greenland tornado lol.  I'm not sure how to make the US list any less unwieldly (maybe consider a sub-subpage for US tornadoes, or even deleting some of the less notable ones on the list). -Runningonbrains 06:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe add "and other areas" to the subtitle, but there wouldn't be enough events for its own subsection and Mex, Cen Amer, Carib should be retained.  There is great value in the comprehensive listing for the US that isn't freely available elsewhere.  We should keep it, but maybe make another list of the most notable on the North America page, then the comprehensive list on its own subpage.  Every event on there is noteworthy for some reason, be it fatalities, destructivity, history (first events, War of 1812 DC), or meteorological anomaly.  Someone assembled a more comprehensive page for Canada.  I was actually going to integrate noteworthy events from it eventually. Evolauxia 06:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Sirlinksalot Tornado Links has a large collection of links to various tornadoes sites, and if you go to "News Articles about Tornadoes" has links to many, many news articles about tornado events around the globe. Evolauxia 22:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm going through now and lower-casing the words "tornado" and "tornado outbreak" wherever they appear outside of a proper noun context. In some cases, like Tupelo-Gainesville tornado outbreak, I'm going to leave them upper-case because I can't tell whether that's a proper noun or not. If it's not a widely recognized proper noun, that article should be moved to Tupelo-Gainesville tornado outbreak or Tupelo-Gainesville tornado outbreak of 1936 (and others similarly), since "Outbreak" is a very general and ambiguous word. It could also refer to epidemic diseases, for example. If an article is about tornadoes, it should have "tornado" somewhere in the title. That's my two cents. --Quuxplusone 21:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Tornado", "Tornado Outbreak" and "Tornado Outbreak Sequence" should always be capitalized IMO as they are part of the event name, hence, a proper noun. The simple use of the word "Outbreak" should be avoided I agree unless it is a widely-used name like the "Super Outbreak". Otherwise, always put "Tornado" in the name.

text: These events are referred to as outbreaks by the NWS. And it is most certainly NOT an attempt at dramatization. That is not the place of an encyclopedia. United States Man (talk) 02:01, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Lower-case "tornado"

message: I feel that the term "outbreak" is used improperly in a poor attempt at dramatization. Tornados don't "break out" like a rash. Just call each one a "tornado", not a "tornado outbreak". 131.95.1.134 (talk) 01:46, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Outbreak

message: My thinking is that the branching of most canadian tornadoes went well, and should be applied to the US as well.  I dont currently have time for it, so if someone else has the motivation that would be great. -RunningOnBrains 20:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Might want to look at the possibility of including the tornadoes of February 5, 2008 once everything is all said and done. I know Arkansas has taken quite a beating along with Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. ---C A Morris (talk) 03:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  February 5, 2008 Outbreak 

message: The 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak is really an outbreak sequence from May 3-May 8. 1999 Linden TN Tornado should be removed as that was a part of the outbreak sequence.
I question if the Iowa Tornado Outbreak of November 2005 was too small to have an individual article or it could be a part of the Mid-November 2005 Tornado Outbreak that occurred 3 days later.
UNLISTED TORNADO OUTBREAK:
Anyone recall a tornado outbreak occurring November 23-24, 2004? Here's some evidence that this tornado outbreak is very notable: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/041123_rpts.html
http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/041124_rpts.html Here's a link to find the tornado list: http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~storms 120 TORNADO(s) were reported in the U.S. between 11/23/2004 and 11/24/2004. That's serious!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.170.108.89 (talk) 17:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A couple of suggestions and an UNLISTED TORNADO OUTBREAK! 

message: There was a tornado described at 3/4th of a mile hit the city of Murfreesboro Tennessee on Good Friday, April 10 2009. 2 deaths resulted from it, 43 people injured. I went down there and looked over the damage, I saw a house a 3 story brick home destroyed, only part of the roof and back walls left. Trees all around it were destroyed. Link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30146711/
I believe this storm maybe rated EF-5. This is a very recent event so there is probably no data yet on it. This may not even be important enough to be listed in the main article, but seeing the damage kind of moved me to make a mention in the discussion section of this article.

message: I'm not really ok with the lack of summaries with the 2010 and onward events. Summaries explain the significance of the events and make certain events easier to find for people that can't remember the date.

replies: text: Yes, I'm the one that removed him. If it's a big issue to you that they're missing, feel free to go to an earlier revision and c/p them back. My progress here has been slowed for several reasons...mainly due to time constraints in a time when I was supposed to have plenty of such. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 04:25, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Summaries? 

message: With every year, the scrollbar on the right becomes tinier and tinier as we add outbreaks to the list. We are on the verge of running out of room on this page. I suggest we cap off this page with the year 2015 and re-title it "List of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks from 1671 to 2015". After 2015 passes, we can start a new page where this one leaves off titled "List of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks from 2016 to present" or something similar. Thoughts?
Sharkguy05 (talk) 01:34, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it makes much sense to split it at 2015. Splitting at 2000 or 2010 is the best way to go. As far as the title, I don't think it should have a definite start year, as new tornadoes and outbreaks are always being uncovered. Maybe something like "... prior to 2000 (or 2010)."
