Can we get an updated version of the current photo

[edit]

As more tornadoes were confirmed, more warnings were issued the map is now quite outdated. Can someone fix it or does anyone know how to make a similar map? 142.114.56.56 (talk) 21:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Outbreak / outbreak sequence still ongoing?

[edit]

So far, using the NOAA Damage Assessment toolkit, tornadoes have been confirmed and surveyed on May 11 (1 in TN, 1 in OH, and 3 in PA), May 12 (1 in TX, 4 in LA, 2 in MS, 2 in AL), and May 13 (1 in NC, 2 in MO), in addition to whichever weren't surveyed yet. These were not associated with the initial trough, however should count as standalone tornado outbreaks, even as part of an outbreak sequence. Both today and tomorrow are under at least a 5% tornado risk, meaning that if this is considered a concrete outbreak sequence, it's most likely going to continue at least into the 16th and perhaps into the weekend or even next week.

It's not the same outbreak, there was another separate trough (as you had stated). MemeGod ._. (My talk page, my contributions and my creations!) 16:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Outbreak sequences can have multiple troughs/fronts/systems so long as they are in very quick succession (eg. System A moves through Monday and system B moves through Tuesday, etc.), just look back to the 2019 outbreak sequence that affected a number of states (such as Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and others. That sequence lasted for nearly two weeks and very likely consisted of multiple separate storm systems one after another creating many consecutive days of tornadoes, including notably an EF-4 tornado that tore through the Dayton metro area on the night of May 27th of that year. 2601:5C5:4380:FD80:E00D:F0AE:7BCE:63AE (talk) 04:23, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which maybe my terminology is incorrect; but I usually interpret an outbreak sequence to be consecutive days with tornadoes; meaning, if/when a day without any tornadoes happens, the outbreak sequence comes to an end. That’s just my opinion anyway. 2601:5C5:4380:FD80:E00D:F0AE:7BCE:63AE (talk) 04:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I suppose it's over; there were no tornado reports on May 15, and I can't find any news coverage beyond tornado watches and warnings. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 12:23, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Barnsdall tornado get its own individual article?

[edit]

And if it can't, then what are the requirements for tornadoes to get its own article? Hoguert (talk) 20:52, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most likely not. It really already fails the notability criteria, as there haven't really been any news on the tornado. If you'd like to see tornado article criteria, see WP:NADOCRIT.

That is ONLY the criteria for a mention on tornadoes of 2024. It also has has to meet WP:LASTING. 12.74.221.43 (talk) 16:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And plus, WP:NADOCRIT doesn’t exist. I think the criteria you’re referring to is WP:LASTING. 12.74.221.43 (talk) 16:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now that all the information is out, i would support haveing an article 2600:1014:B126:2C48:0:48:20FC:5E01 (talk) 16:48, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An article isn’t necessary. The section is enough. ChessEric 01:50, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
