Talk:2007 Groundhog Day tornado outbreak

14 deaths
14 deaths.


 * That is the current total, but that could easily rise as they are still going through rubble. CrazyC83 20:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * True, I heard on CNN that "thousands" of homes were either destroyed or demaged.


 * 19 dead now. It will probably go higher still. CrazyC83 21:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * How much higher? Over a hundred?


 * 20 Confirmed Dead Now

Single tornado or outbreak?
I am somewhat confused, as some sources (i.e. the NWS Melbourne map) suggest that it was one tornado all the way along (or perhaps a derecho) but other sources (i.e. SPC) suggest multiple tornadoes indeed touched down. Should this be treated as an outbreak, a mini-outbreak anchored by one bad tornado, or a single tornado? CrazyC83 21:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Naming
I think the title could be shortened; if no other outbreaks happened, then 2007 Groundhog Day tornado might be enough... – Chacor 02:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Aye, indeed. &mdash; Nightst  a   llion  (?) 11:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * In almost every article, "Tornado" and "Tornado Outbreak" is indeed capitalized as they are part of the event name. As for the 2007 Groundhog Day Tornado (or Tornado Outbreak, depending on how everything is confirmed) idea, I like that one actually. Might be worth a move. CrazyC83 15:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The Tampa National Weather Service site refers it as the Sumter County Tornado, so 2007 Sumter County, Florida Tornado might be more official. Here's the link for the NWS report, but it might not last long. The link provides some damage pics and other stats that would be very useful to the article.

 * Except all 20 deaths, and the most serious damage, was in Lake County (under NWS Melbourne jurisdiction). CrazyC83 17:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, at the time I didn't know there was more than one tornado. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I also remember seeing news reports about this storm threatening Hernando County. There were actually news reports of funnell clouds being spotted in places like Istachatta, Lake Lindsey and even south of Brooksville. Either way, 2007 Groundhog Day tornado could still serve as a redirect to this article. DanTD (talk) 23:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Alt text review
I was asked to look at the alt text. The first image (the map) has alt text "A map displaying the path of the three tornadoes." which doesn't really give the gist of the map. It's obvious to the sighted reader where the tornadoes went, and this info should be given to the visually impaired reader too. The second map has two misspellings "Floridan" (should be "Florida"?) and "peninnsula", and wastes too much time talking about colors (which are irrelevant details) and doesn't give important points such as where was the line of thunderstorms? and where were they the most severe? Please see WP:ALT for more advice. For the 3rd image "one side's worth" is phrased oddly; how about something like "the houses on one side" and "the houses on the other side"? The 4th image looks good. Thanks for working on the alt text, by the way. Eubulides (talk) 19:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

4th tornado and was this an outbreak?
The NCDC lists a 4th tornado in Florida on this date rated EF0. I think this should be added to the article. On another note, does this qualify as an outbreak? I was under the impression that for an event to be considered a tornado outbreak it must produce a minimum of six tornadoes. TornadoLGS (talk) 20:54, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
