Talk:Great Blue Norther of November 11, 1911

What Year?
The date 11/11/11 is ambiguous. Obviously it's not 2011, since that hasn't happened yet. Several cities mentioned hadn't been founded in 1811. So presumably it's 1911, but lacking any familiarity with the event, I'm not comfortable changing the actual article. --Kelson 23:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, November 11th, 1911. See http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/news/toptenweather.php for a mention

of it in Oklahoma City. Not sure of best way to make it obvious though, so not changing it. Naraht 16:12, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Year issue: Rename it
I would suggest renaming this into "The Great Blue Norther of 1911" when the 2011 date is due.90.227.54.6 (talk) 22:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 * There doesn't seem to be any use of the exact phrase we're currently using outside of Wikipedia. At least not an easily Googlable one.  And it wasn't in the original, so I have no real objection to renaming the article.   —  Soap  —  04:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Renamed. --Andrewaskew (talk) 04:28, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Temperature issues
The temperature in Springfield was 80 °F (27 °C) at about 3:45 PM, then 40 °F (4 °C) 15 minutes later. That is a difference of 40°F or 23°C. By 7:00 P.M. the temperature had dropped a further 20 °F (3.9 °C), the article says. That cannot be correct. A difference of 40°F being 23°C, then a difference of 20°F has to be around 11.5°C. Or you don't mean the difference, then 20°F is between -6 and -7°C, and 2.9°C is around 39°F. So nothing fits here. I am not familiar with the temperatures those days and cannot check the source, because it is not available for me. Thank you for checking. Norbert Hagemann (talk) 11:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
