Text says: "This was very common up until around the mid-1950's." This what? I assume it's meaning is that the failure to mention blacks (mentioned in parentheses) was common. Please fix it to say what it means. &#37329 02:53, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

I removed the sentence claiming that this was the only instance of two large cities being struck a day apart. Obviously the Flint-Worcester tornadoes of 1953 prove that claim false.

I also removed the erroneous mileage in the fourth parargraph -- it is only 67 miles from Gainesville GA to Anderson SC, not "a couple of hundred." I am doubtful that "all the buildings hit collapsed and caught on fire"... seems rather unlikely, but I left it alone for now. Nick Storm 17:21, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Removing the copyedit tag

I made a few edits. The article looks in good shape to me, so I am removing the tag. KarenAnn 21:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
