Overlooking Metro Tampa Bay

A lot of the damage to the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Area is being overlooked in this article. ----DanTD (talk) 00:45, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Merge tornado outbreak article?

2012 Tropical Storm Debby tornado outbreak - there is a tornado outbreak article, but there isn't that much additional content there. Should it be merged? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

No, it is an outbreak of tornadoes and should not be included in an article about a tropical system, even if the tornadoes did come from that system. United States Man (talk) 20:30, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

But there are only 21 tornadoes. That's not all that much. And it's not like they were that widespread, nor was the outbreak that notable on its own. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:09, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Well they aren't going into this article. I will redirect it to Tornadoes of 2012 before that happens. United States Man (talk) 21:43, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

I mean, the info on all of the tornadoes, like the one that caused the fatality, SPC info, some of the notable damage. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:05, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

If you mean a few paragraphs or something to that manner then okay. I thought you meant putting the tornado table and all into this article. United States Man (talk) 23:42, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

A paragraph is sufficient. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 23:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Okay, that works. United States Man (talk) 23:56, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Reviewer: Yellow Evan (talk · contribs) 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC) Per your IRC request yesterday, I will be reviewing this article.

• "The fourth tropical cyclone and named storm of the annual hurricane season, " I'd change "annual" to "2012 Atlantic" as it sounds weird the way it is IMO. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "d upwelling prevented further" say upwelling of cold water to avoid confusion. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "Overall, Debby at least $210 million in losses and 10 deaths, 8 in Florida and 1 each in Alabama and South Carolina." infobox begs to differ. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed, both were wrong, actually--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) migrated northward into the southern Gulf of Mexico in mid-June. " I'd reword this to "During mid-June, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) made its annual migration northward into the southern Gulf of Mexico" or sometihng like that as something does not feel right in this sentence, idk why tbh. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "However, the storm began to weaken due to increasing wind shear, drier air, and upwelling, caused by Debby's slow movement.[1]" Per above, say the upwelling was of cold water and why (because it was stationary. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "onsolidated into one well-defined low-level circulation by early on June 25.[8] D" If I you were you I'd link atmospheric circulation somewhere. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Actually, this would be the right place for it. Instead, I just linked it in the first paragraph of the MH.--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Any other Preps out there? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "nearly 200 single–family residences" why the dash. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "on June 24.[15] resulting in widespread flash flooding.[13]" comma after 24, not period. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Make sure all units are consistently abbreviated. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "At Cedar Key, tides reached 6.78 feet (2.07 m) mean lower low water on June 25." "mean lower low water" should be removed IMO as it makes no sense whatsoever. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• This is the definition of MLLW.--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "Throughout Polk County, 115 homes were damaged, mainly as a result of tornadoes, and losses were estimated at $5 million.[24] A tornado in Hardee County felled several trees and damaged a tractor and barn." add an a before "barn". YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• "Following the storm, then-President of the United States Barack Obama" he is still the president so "then" is not needed IMO here. In 2016, we can change it back, don't worry. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• I wish it was Mitt Romney :P --12george1 (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• I don't. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:47, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Note - Why was this passed with the Preparations section in such poor shape? There was much more preparation than what's said in the article. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 16:52, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
  • It's not in poor shape, given the author's on-wiki actions, he did not indicate that there would be more preps. I'm gonna temporarily revert the passing. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:57, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
    • Okay, I see it's been expanded. I am re-passing this thing. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 17:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Merge 2012 Tropical Storm Debby tornado outbreak?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge 2012 Tropical Storm Debby tornado outbreak into Tropical Storm Debby (2012). (non-admin closure) Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:05, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

---

This article is under 4,000 words and the tornado outbreak didn’t do anything spectacular (the only death was literally in an EF0.) I think this article can be merged and information about this being the final fatal tornado of 2012 could be comfortably mentioned in this article. Considering our trend of merging tornado articles when the main article is at 5,000 words, this should be an easy merge 155.190.18.45 (talk) 12:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, merge. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
