Death toll 6 or 9?
editI have changed the death toll to 6 a couple times but it keeps getting changed back to 9. The death toll in the table adds up to six. Nine deaths were originally listed, but I removed the three deaths listed for the Huntsville, KY area tornado, as the information statement listed no deaths, just one minor injury. So, where are these other three deaths? TornadoLGS (talk) 00:35, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- That was originally my fault because I don't pay attention when I edit. I changed it to six but I think Sharkguy got confused and kept changing it to nine. United States Man (talk) 00:47, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Bolding death tolls
editOkay, can people please discuss the issue of bolding death tolls here? We have enough going on with this article without an edit war. TornadoLGS (talk) 00:39, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I went through an ugly FLC specifically to get a final format on the tables. Refer to List of tornadoes in the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak for how to make them. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 00:42, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- Basically, from now on, we don't bolden the death tolls? (1 death) instead of (1 death)? ManhattanSandyFurystorm (talk) 00:11, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- Yup. No bold text in the tables. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:29, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Benton County Tornado Width
editWhere is this figure of 3,000 yards coming from? I can't find it anywhere... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.3.128.147 (talk) 15:52, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Non-tornadoes
editI appreciate that certain editors really like tornadoes but this event was a very significant non-tornadic wind event without widespread damage and deaths. Please stop removing all mentions of this. I am wondering if I need to get an official third opinion or request a article move. Rmhermen (talk) 00:19, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone has really added the non-tornadic aspect of this even to begin with. I don't remember the usual "Non-tornadic events" section showing up at all. Feel free to add it though. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:54, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Section for Washington tornado?
editThe Washington,IL tornado was a really long-tracked, violent tornado that garnered a lot of media attention. The specific path of the storm and it's impacts are hard to summarize without a section. I think it deserves one. Wanted to run the idea by first before editing Sharkguy05 (talk) 03:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Sharkguy05
- If you have enough sources to make a sufficient section, go for it. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 00:34, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress
editThere is a move discussion in progress on Talk:April 6–8, 2006 tornado outbreak which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 09:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
