[edit] 4 or 8?

Some parts say there were four confirmed tornadoes, others 8. Which was it?-RunningOnBrains 19:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I had forgotten to update the infobox with the info I found from the NCDC. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 19:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Two Frame Radar

I don't think this "loop" adds to the article at all; the article itself doesn't explain the structure of the storm as it relates to the radar image, and with only two frames anyway, it's more annoying to me than informative. I like the visible satellite imagery though; maybe this could be bigger and the radar graphic removed. As to other improvements, I'll have to think a little bit... since this is an older, one-time event, it's hard to think of suggestions of how it could be expanded even more than it already is. Good job with what limited resources you've had thus far though. ~ Triberocker (talk) 04:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure if I want to remove the radar, as it was the only radar picture I could find. Thanks for the compliments and suggestions though. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 14:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
