[edit] Information Needed

This was a very large outbreak sequence, and any additional information that you would like to add would be appreciated. --Bigphishy56 02:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

WOW!!! That looks excellent for a 400-tornado outbreak sequence! CrazyC83 16:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for the incomplete nature of this article. I will resume work soon. Bigphishy56 19:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Once a section is put in on the Oklahoma City tornado, the {{10 costliest US tornadoes}} should be moved to that section. -Runningonbrains 00:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Based upon new info, the infobox no longer includes that tornado, and has been removed. -RunningOnBrains 19:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


Is there a mistake, in the first paragraph, about the Super Outbreak occurring on April 3-4 rather than May 3-4? - "The Super Outbreak of April 3 to April 4" - If it's actually referring to a separate outbreak, it should include the year to avoid confusion, i.e. "The Super Outbreak of April 3 to April 4 of 2003". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.201.108.35 (talk) 13:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, the "Super Outbreak" listed refers to 1974, so I added that year in to clarify... but if there's a new usage for "Super Outbreak" to refer to the 2003 outbreak, please somebody feel free to make the corrections. --Umrguy42 (talk) 08:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of tornadoes to be in separate article

With the number of tornadoes from this outbreak, I think a list should be placed into a separate article or perhaps more then one article so we could add more text info about the outbreak like the Oklahoma City tornadoes in which NWS Norman has quite a bit of info on May 8-9.--JForget 19:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm in the process of building that table in a userpage, and I have only the info for May 9 to 11 left to include (will finish tommorrow). One tornado in Colorado, one in Arizona and one in Washington will not be included--JForget 03:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
I've created List of May 2003 Tornado Outbreak Sequence tornadoes where the list of all confirmed tornadoes are. The article is abotu 115 k long due to the number of tornadoes.--JForget 03:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
