Waterspout in Seattle April 18[edit]

Not sure exactly what to do about this waterspout:NWS Seattle statement/Tweet NWS said it will not receive an EF rating, as it was “a waterspout and not a tornado”. The damage it caused as a waterspout is why I do not know where we should include it or not. Thoughts on this @United States Man:, ChessEric, TornadoLGS?

Waterspouts are technically not tornadoes. They occur all the time on the Gulf Coast (and even East Coast), sometimes simultaneously and/or multiple times per day. So, we shouldn't include this one. United States Man (talk) 00:07, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We need to fix the wordings on Tornado, because currently the article states they are tornadoes. Elijahandskip (talk) 00:12, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It should honestly just move into the "Similar Circulations" section. The article as a whole probably needs an update to talk about each type of tornado, since multi-vortex and landspout are the not the only types of tornadoes. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 00:21, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article does distinguish between "fair weather waterspouts" and severe "tornadoes over water." United States Man (talk) 00:42, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NWS definitions for counting tornadoes here (page A-74) notably do not consider the distinction between tornadic and fair weather waterspouts. I agree on not adding this one. Things will get too muddled if we try to include waterspouts not counted as tornadoes. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:04, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improve Andover tornado summary[edit]

@TornadoInformation12: Can you improve the Andover tornado summary for me? I really thought it needed an expansion and that's what I did, but you're better at it then I am. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 22:34, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
