Chicago Radar

[edit]

[1] Watch out for Chicago right now --JForget 22:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They had been under the gun for over an hour; no reports out of there yet. This could be a long night here - remarkable there are no fatalities yet. CrazyC83 22:55, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Louisiana

[edit]

I've counted Louisiana for now - it was probably the instability (in the warm sector) of the system that may have caused the tornados and it was in northwestern Louisiana not far from the Oklahoma activity. So the 39 includes the Louisiana activity. --JForget 23:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I thought they were a separate system - they will be up for debate here. The key is whether or not they were related or not. CrazyC83 23:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's probably too far the distance between western Oklahoma and and southeastern Oklahoma, but based on the size of the storm and the two regions under the tropical or should say warm section of the storm, I've thought that it wa all related, but I may be wrong here--JForget 23:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wait for write-ups later. I'd leave them off here for now and treat them as separate events. CrazyC83 23:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, added them again before I saw this discussion. Will comment them for now. -Runningonbrains 17:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weather Channel

[edit]

I've been watching this on The Weather Channel. My area is next in line to be hit by tornadoes. Area is SE. Oklahoma, NE. Texas, SW. Arkansas, NW. Louisiana. I may see one personally if I don't get killed first. Any wikipedians that have access to The Weather Channel should see this matter. Also go to the Accuweather website as well. If I see one, I'll let you know ASAP, pending on what happens. Martial Law 03:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A STRONG cold front is barging through the area, and is causing all of the servere weather. Martial Law 03:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense. That is right on the cold front. It will be deciding what happens tomorrow. The outbreak ain't over, folks! CrazyC83 03:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No indeed, it could make it to New England before the weekend is over! Even I might have to watch out for this one. As far as I can remember, this is completely unprecedented for September. -Runningonbrains 17:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other severe weather

[edit]

If there is any real detail of the other severe weather that took place, that can go below the tornado sections on this article - it is all related after all. CrazyC83 23:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If there were serious non-tornadic events such as those realted to the 6 fatalities, or large hail events (i've heard of baseball size hail or larger in some areas (I think it was Arkansas, we can add a short section if neceessary. Not sure if they were doing this just when a derecho occured at the same (Like July 17). That would become similar to a page i'm currently building in my user page right now. (August 1-2) --JForget 00:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The flooding was the most serious non-tornadic event by far. CrazyC83 15:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A dud

[edit]

Lucky for most people, it looks like it wasnt nearly as bad as it was supposed to be yesterday, and won't be any worse today. We might have to consider removing yesterday's two pitiful tornadoes as not really part of the main outbreak. -Runningonbrains 16:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, especially if no more confirmations come in. F0 tornadoes do not make or break articles, so it would have little effect on the article as a whole. CrazyC83 00:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Sept 23 F0s were part of the same system, though. Sept 21-23 is a good line to draw for this outbreak, even though Sept 23 was a bust. —BazookaJoe 01:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they were. I am still looking at old weather maps to try to see how Louisiana is being layed down (they were all F0's or low F1's). CrazyC83 03:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't quite call an outbreak that produced one F3 tornado and one F4 tornado a dud... SPC had only issued a moderate risk for the affected area; with that in mind I'd say the outbreak exceeded expectations if anything. Bigphishy56 15:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Final Tornado Count

[edit]

It appears that the final tornado count will be 36, or somewhere in the upper 30s. I have removed all unconfirmed tornado reports and stated the number of tornadoes as "36 confirmed". If any additional confirmations come to my attention over the next couple days, i will add them. Bigphishy56 15:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Late reports sometimes do happen, but they are few and far between. I am likely to review the spring events to get final counts (some may have been found long after the event or reanalyzed as straight-line winds) to get the official numbers. CrazyC83 01:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So it looks like the final count is 38 now? Bigphishy56 14:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)::[reply]
39 now, since a new report came in (off the SPC storm reports actually, confirming an F0 tornado from MEG). I had heard that Little Rock still was doing surveys, and may have one or two more coming (or may not). It should be between 39 and 42 most likely. CrazyC83 23:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not too bad for a september outbreak. I'm supprised the crosstown tornado was rated F4. It seems like the NWS has been very hesitant to classify violent tornadoes lately. Bigphishy56 19:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
