More then 56 tornadoes?
I've only put the tornadoes that occured across Nebraska and Iowa. But there have been more tornadoes near the Great Lakes on the 22 and 23, but I wasn't sure if it was the same system, because I remember I think it was at that time, that there were multiple bow echos/derechos that crossed the area - so I've not counted the tornadoes from those events.--JForget 04:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Update needed and should the two May outbreaks be merged to an Outbreak Sequence article?
I've built a list (which still have some work to be done before sending as a separate list article), but there are least 167 tornadoes just for this outbreak according to NOAA and THP storm data and archives from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to the Ohio Valley and Alabama. After all the work on the list article will be done, the update will be made.

Second of all between the Hallam outbreak and the Memorial Day weekend there have been numerous tornadoes across the same general area. If I remember it was a parade of storms that crossed the Midwest with supercells and derechos throughout the whole stretch between Hallam and Memorial Day outbreaks.

Just for the 22nd, there were 65 tornadoes, with 9 on the 23rd (excluding the tornado in Oregon), 52 on the 24th (excluding a New York tornado), 11 on the 25th (in two different areas), 11 more on the 26th (across two different areas), 26 on the the 27th (excluding 2 Washington tornadoes), 15 on the 28th, and finally the 167 from the Memorial Weekend Outbreak will possibly a Michigan tornado on the 31st that could be included as well (not to mention there could have been Canadian tornadoes too). The total number would be 357 tornadoes between May 22 and May 31 which is near the 2003 record but in a shorter period (10 days versus the 12 from the 2003 outbreak). Considering that we have Outbreak Sequences for May 1995 and 2003 not to mention the January 2008 outbreak sequence. Should we consider combining the two articles of the Hallam and Memorial Outbreaks to built one Outbreak Sequence article with a separate one for the lenghty list?-- JForget 03:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree with merge, definately need the separate list article. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 04:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The merge sounds good. Gopher backer (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm actually having problems of pinpointing the exact start of the sequence, but I can say that May 21st would also have to be included and perhaps as early as the 16th, i will eventually do a merging, but I will wait for more comments.-- JForget 18:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have built the table with tornadoes from the 21 to the 31st. It gives a total of 385 confirmed tornadoes in 11 days which is very close to the 2003 Outbreak Sequence, although it lasted one more day. I still have the damage figures to add on about 150 tornadoes, but this will be done tommorrow.-- JForget 03:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Merging has been complete. Info will be added if necessary in the coming days-- JForget 02:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Did IP address normally used to spam nonsense get this edit right? Or did it not get noticed as wrong?
Will someone who knows about weather look at this. Every single other edit this IP address has made was nonsense which was reverted. What they did to this article quite some time ago, stayed. Did they get it right, or did no one notice?  D r e a m Focus  22:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
