@Sca: I just copied and pasted the image’s original caption in the nomination’s caption. This image is used in the “aftermath” section of the tornado. I may be looking at this through the lens of something who understands weather, but the tornado was very narrow (discussed in the article) and it seems clear where the worst damage path is in the photo. Could you maybe explain what exactly is “not readily intelligible to general readers/viewers”? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 14:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
