Remove "accuracy" template

 * The factual accuracy of this article or section is disputed. Please see the relevant discussion on the talk page.

Seeing no evidence of any discussions of factual accuracy in the talk page, I removed the accuracy template. Perhaps it is left over from before the article split? --NealMcB 14:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Or perhaps the various accuracy tags that were consolidated by this edit should be reinstated with more explanation, if they have not been addressed by subsequent edits. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tornado_climatology&diff=101135244&oldid=101087681 --NealMcB 14:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Tornadoes in Canada
This section needs a complete rewrite and needs to be based on sourced material. Eighty to one hundred tornadoes a year? That seems to contradict this article which only lists a small fraction of the claimed total.

"[T]he tornado frequency of Southwestern Ontario is about half that of the most prone areas of the central US plains." Does that mean that Southwestern Ontario has a significant tornado every twenty years? Or does it mean that half of SW Ontario has one every ten years? Or does SW Ontario have dozens of insignificant, unnoticed, and unrecorded tornadoes every year that only the author of this section knows about? The statement is too vague and it isn't really believable, either. is how NOAA defines areas with significant tornadoes. is a diagram showing the frequency of storms that are likely to produce tornadoes. In order for SW Ontario to have "about half that of the most prone areas of the central US plains" it would have to have eight (or seven to be sporting) or more tornado producing storms per year. I don't even think Chicago, which has quite a few bad storms every year (including significant ones), could measure up to that description.

Someone please source this or change it, or I will eventually pare it down.-- A ntigrandios ËTalk|undefined 01:50, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

For the Asia section
Please include Indonesian tornadoes because Indonesia experienced a lot of tornadoes. Alvaro ivan daniswara (talk) 01:18, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Indonesia
Should we include Indonesia for this article ? Because they had a lot of tornadoes. Alvaro ivan daniswara (talk) 11:11, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Reformatting this article
A lot of the climatology deals with the United States. Since tornadoes can differ by every place around the world, I propose reformatting this article to something like Tornadoes by area, and then organize it by region. There are tornado lists for every continent, so that is a good starting point. Ideally it could list every country around the world, so it truly reflects where tornadoes have occurred around the world. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
