March 2021
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Tornado outbreak of March 16–18, 2021, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ~ 🌀    SCS CORONA     🌀 12:13, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Alright sounds good Colin777724 (talk) 16:33, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Also does the NwS have any relation with the wiki page for tornadoes or severe weather or is it fan made with weather people. Also the tornado in Arkansas I have the photo of what it looked like at full force Colin777724 (talk) 18:52, 19 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Does the NWS have any relation with the wiki page for tornadoes or severe weather or is it fan-made with weather people? No, the NWS does not. We use sources from the NWS to make articles. ~~ 🌀𝚂𝙲𝚂 𝙲𝙾𝚁𝙾𝙽𝙰🌀 12:51, 30 March 2021 (UTC) Oh well thanks for telling me also one of the tornadoes from the late march outbreak was adjusted to 1.6 miles by me because the NWS said it.

Monticello tornado path length
On whether the path length of the Monticello tornado, it may just be an issue of rounding. In any case, I must have missed it with the last update. TornadoLGS (talk) 17:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC) Its fine don't worry i'm not mad at you. It's just a misunderstood thing. If you ever want too find the tornado surveys I would look at twitter on the NWS offices, they show the full information and that can be used for wiki.
 * The 1.59 miles did not come at random. Honestly, it probably came from the DAT tool. I added the Monticello tornado from the DAT and that's probably what the mileage said. The NWS most likely just rounded.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 20:58, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That was my thought, though path lengths do get change fairly often during surveys. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:01, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Correct. I added it when it was initially added into the DAT so that makes sense.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 21:17, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

8th EF3
I saw your edits regarding the number of EF3 tornadoes and checked the edit history of the outbreak. The apparent 8th EF3 tornado is now being included as part of the "quad-state" storm track. I wouldn't put too much stake in early counts as they are very much subject to change, and it's not uncommon for track segments to be combined. TornadoLGS (talk) 20:40, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Yea and it’s unusually rare to see this happening IN DECEMBER! This is going to be one of the most memorable tornado outbreaks ever in the winter season for sure Colin777724 (talk) 23:46, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Wait now that there are 8 EF3 tornadoes shouldn’t I or someone else update the number to 8 for the tornado outbreak then? Colin777724 (talk) 23:53, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I see you already got it on the yearly article. That's good. I wouldn't worry too much about it since there are so many surveys going on. Things can be a bit chaotic after a big outbreak like this. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:43, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

A bit chaotic, Id rather say apocalyptic for December's perspective.

And I mean it really Colin777724 (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Re:Discord
I'm not big on Discord DMs myself. However WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has a Discord channel linked on its main page. Despite the name, we have channels for non-tropical weather. There is also one for WP:SEVERE but it's less active and the link is not on the wikiproject page. Also, I won't refactor your comment, but it might be a good idea to remove your Discord ID from my talk page. I get occasional talk page harassment because of my anti-vandalism work, and you probably don't want to deal with those kinds of people. TornadoLGS (talk) 20:17, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Okay I will Colin777724 (talk) 22:00, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

new tors to 2022
I suck at wiki editing but i do a ton of research so i was thinking i can just relay some info to you and hace you put them in.

https://www.weather.gov/gld/July26Tornadoes Here are 3 EFUs that need to be added. https://twitter.com/NWSTwinCities/status/1555338594956431360 And here is an EFU in Minnesota on the 31st. IndyPlaneSpot (talk) 01:03, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Interesting I’ll tell Ejiah on that Colin777724 (talk) 21:58, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Rolling Fork is a high-end EF4
The PNS for the Rolling Fork, Mississippi tornado does say that the peak winds were 170 mph. However, the NWS Jackson has updated their 2023 tornado data page and it confirms that the tornado's peak winds were 190 mph. You can see it here. I just thought I'd let you know.
