Talk:1991 Andover tornado outbreak

message: I was there in April of 1991, stationed at McConnell AFB.  I even took a picture of this one.  Being from the Pacific NW, I had only seen tornadoes in textbooks and occasionally on the national news.  
This beast was a sight to behold.  I admit, that was the first time I was in fear of my life.  There have been times since, but that was the first.
Data in the "List of confirmed tornadoes"
 table is mispaced by one column.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.146.208.101 (talk) 18:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: OK, this article should either focus on the outbreak, or the F5 tornado should be broken off. Hurricanehink 22:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The standard is that the outbreak gets a section, and if there was one or more major tornadoes, they get an additional section below with a reference in the chart. In this case, the F5 should have its own section below, with the note "see section on this tornado" added beside each of the tornadoes involved. CrazyC83 04:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Very good writing of the outbreak as a whole! That is exactly how it should be done! (Don't worry about the damage from the smaller tornadoes as they are hard to find) CrazyC83 16:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

text: In the formal paper that reported the Red Rock observations, Bluestein et al. (1993) reported the winds as 115-150 m/s (257-268 mph), with an uncertainty of 5-10 m/s.  Also, the Doppler on Wheels group puts the maximum winds from the 3 May 1999 observations as 301 mph.Hebrooks87 15:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More tornadoes 

message: If this article were to be cleaned up, and provided with in-line citations, it could be a Good article, possibly even featured.  I'm not really familiar with the sources, and I don't want to have to go through the entire article introducing citations if I dont have to, so would someone who has worked on this article be willing to bring it up to snuff?

thread_title:  Name change 

message: I strongly dispute the times of the tornadoes as being of UTC.  For example, the F3 tornado cited as NW of Hanover, KS to N of Beatrice, NE did not occur around 10 AM local (UTC -0500) but did occur at about the local time listed--approximately 3.00 PM.  Also, the F2 NW of Washington, KS and the F2 from N of Bushong, KS to NE of Grove, Ks through Wabaunsee, Shawnee, and Jackson counties all occurred during mid afternoon, not late morning.  
I know this as I was en route from Kansas City to my parents home near Hanover, KS that afternoon and was listening to the warnings being issued and watching the clouds as I was driving west from St Joseph, MO on US 36 Highway.  Also, once I got home I found out my grandfather's farm north of Hanover, KS had been hit and he and my mom and aunt had rode it out in the fruit cellar under the garage (fortunately there was minor damage to the house which was protected by a large grove of trees, but the barn was flattened and much debris was strewn about).  Also, our neighbor's brother in-law's dairy farm north of Odell, NE was hit by that same tornado (as were too many others along the path).
Looking over the list of tornadoes I recall first hand, the times are consistent with Central Daylight Time (CDT) and not UTC.  I suspect that is true for other times in the tables as well.

message: Just wanted to point out that the section on this tornado mentions it is the last F5 on the old Fujita scale, which it is not. Off the top of my head, I can think of the Jarrell, TX F5 in 1997 and the Oklahoma City F5 of May 3rd, 1999.  The article mentions that after this F5, the next one was the EF5 in Greensburg KS in 2007.  Checking Wikipedia's article, there were a handful of F5 tornadoes between 1991 and 1999.  After the May 3rd F5, there was not another until the Greensburg storm.

message: User:Funplussmart: I propose reverting your move from four years ago. Was already discussed in 2014 before your unilateral revert. Doesn't make sense to name an entire tornado outbreak with over 50 tornadoes after one city. If you have an alternative name proposal that isn't just naming an entire tornado outbreak after a single city, I'm listening. Master of Time (talk) 09:04, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't make the change you wanted, but i changed the name to 1991 Andover tornado outbreak to avoid confusion with the 2022 Andover tornado. Poodle23 (talk) 23:09, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
