[edit] Traffic Jam

This section is largely copied from a credible source, with very small changes in text and placement. The source isn't cited inline, also. I feel that this merits a cleanup. Dirtydan667 18:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] second deadlist tornado in the 1990's?

This claim seems dubious given that there are three tornadoes that occurred in the 1990's that had higher fatalities - not one. eg.

Plainfield Tornado, Birmingham Tornado of April 1998, and 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak. TerraFrost 05:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Tag

I placed a cleanup tag on the article recently, the page needs many more references, and some things should be removed. I just got done reading the NWS service assessment on the event, and I did not see anything about some of the things mentioned in the article, specifically the "Overpass Traffic Jam." I will try to clean it up this weekend. Southern Illinois SKYWARN 01:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, I will be adding text back and more sections on other tornadoes. I will be using the NCEP website to find other, smaller tornadoes to add to the table. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 04:01, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, I guess I lied. I wll try to start work on the article by the begining of March, but I do have two newsletters to work on. As I said above and as JForget said below, the NCDC database needs to be used to expand this article. I just made the tornado table based the service assessment from the NWS. I planned on continuing work on the article, but my computer had major problems. I got a new computer in December, but then I had lazy problems. :) Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 02:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More then one day outbreak

I've check NOAA storm archives and there were something like 70+ tornadoes across the same areas (Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas) on May 25 and 26 likely from the same system. Not sure if we could mention those (or at least be listed) in this article. I am pretty sure looking at the maps, it is the same system or at least an outbreak sequence.--JForget 03:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
