Conflicting information
editThere seems to be conflicting information about the killer tornado on April 25. We have it listed here as an EF3 in Beaufort County with two deaths. The SPC fatal tornado page has it listed as an EF2 in Chowan county with 1 death. The respective NWS pages discussing these tornadoes do not note any fatalities. News articles I can find only mention one fatality. So, the question is, which tornado was the killer or was there no tornadic fatality? TornadoLGS (talk) 16:35, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Missing tornado from April 27, not sure how to integrate with transcluded table.
editI knew we had at least a couple cases where a weak tornado coincidentally touched down at the same time as an unrelated outbreak elsewhere in the country. I seemed to recall one in Washington and searched SPC records. I found this record of an EF0 tornado in Eatonville, Washington. Though, interestingly, it appears that this tornado was not included even before transcluding. I'm not entirely sure how to include it, though, since the section is now transcluded from the outbreak article, but this tornado was not related. I figure there are three options: 1) Copy/paste the table from April 27 instead of transcluding so we can add the Eatonville tornado 2) add an "other tornado subsection" for this tornado 3) Add the Eatonville tornado to the outbreak page.
I've listed these options basically in my order of preference, but there could be others I haven't thought of. @United States Man:, since you've been handling the transclusions, how would you approach this? TornadoLGS (talk) 01:38, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- You could do something like List of United States tornadoes in April 2011 with April 14. The reason I have been doing the tranclusions is because I can't stand when someone edits the table in one place (monthly list or outbreak page) and doesn't edit it at the other place. That causes the same general information to be displayed differently in two places and is getting increasingly hard to police. I think the transclusion is a good fix, and the April 2011 example may be good to follow for this. United States Man (talk) 01:43, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, did that. That will be the standard procedure, I guess. TornadoLGS (talk)
