[edit] Article use

Normally, such would not be warranted for a single tornado with no deaths in a rural area, but this was an F5 so that is a special case. CrazyC83 19:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

  • That's precisely the reason why I thought it should be a separate article of its own! :D NorthernFire 21:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] F-5 or EF-5?

Shouldn't this tornado be rated EF-5 not F-5? --AquaTeen191 20:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

  • If you read the article carefully enough, you will notice that Canada has not officially adopted the Enhanced Fujita Scale system like the US has done. Yes, if a twister like that had occurred in the US, it'd be rated an EF5. But because it occurred in Canada, it should remain F5. NorthernFire 21:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I see that now. --AquaTeen191 21:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
      • If Canada adopts the EF-5 system, would this then be an EF-5? 204.82.159.219 13:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
