In human terms, the blizzard portion of this storm caused 5 times as many deaths as all the tornados. But you would hardly realize that from this article, which devotes way more space to tornados, only mentioning the blizzard at the end. Seems an odd emphasis to me.

We have another issue. The tornado numbers for all the F categories neither match the total from that box, nor the infobox. That definitely needs to be fixed. Thegreatdr 21:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
See what you think of the combined infobox for tornadoes and winter storms. It's my first attempt...it likely needs improvement. Thegreatdr 21:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review.

Ok so, while the article is cited, I think it fails the broadness category. There are multiple tornadoes in the confirmed tornadoes section that don't contain anything about the tornado. And it's the majority of tornadoes in that section. This is weird to me, especially about an article of a storm that killed 58 total and took place in 1975. I can understand a lack of information in maybe 1918. But 1975? There has to be more information you can use to talk about the storm. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 23:58, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
