Inconsistent on whether bigger than 2011 super outbreak

The first sentence claims it's second largest, while later in the article it says it's the largest and has a citation about how this was calculated. 73.37.72.132 (talk) 07:15, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

The first claim is about how the 2011 Super Outbreak had more tornadoes in a 24-hour period (though, this claim may be inaccurate, as many of those were weak, and the WSR-88D dual-polarized super resolution technology used to detect weak tornadoes was introduced after 1974). The second claim means that the 1974 outbreak had more violent (EF4/5) tornadoes. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

To clarify, Grazulis's Outbreak Intensity Score ignores weak (EF0/1) tornadoes, and gives more weight to violent tornadoes (EF4/5). The 2011 outbreak had more EF2-3 tornadoes, but the 1974 outbreak had far more F4/5 tornadoes, so it has a higher score by those metrics. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 12:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Difficult to confirm infobox data

Infobox data was just changed for the 1st Tanner Alabama tornado and I don't know what to confirm the changes against. The same goes for most of the infoboxes. It seems to me that eventually we need to pin these things down. Stefen 𝕋ower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 18:50, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
