THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SPRINGFIELD HAS ISSUED A
EASTERN OZARK COUNTY IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI... HOWELL COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI... SOUTHERN TEXAS COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI...
TORNADIC STORMS ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM 8 MILES NORTHEAST OF HARTVILLE TO 8 MILES SOUTH OF CABOOL TO 12 MILES SOUTH OF GAINESVILLE...MOVING SOUTH AT 23 MPH.
EASTERN OZARK...HOWELL AND SOUTHERN TEXAS COUNTIES...INCLUDING THE TOWNS OF DORA...TECUMSEH AND UDALL. ONE OF THESE SHORT LIVED TORNADOES LIKELY CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE IN AVA SHORTLY AFTER 6 AM.
75.7.251.247 ( talk) 11:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Depending on the numbers that come in, an article may be warranted being a major city hit (the numbers don't warrant it yet). That creates an interesting issue if today warrants an article for a tornado outbreak... CrazyC83 ( talk) 12:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
As of the time displayed here, got two counties in Texas, four in Arkansas that have been hit by tornadoes. One of those hit near Carthage, Texas. All featured have been seen and been detected on radar. Watching it on the Weather Channel, NOAA radio. We do have a hell of a outbreak. 205.240.144.214 ( talk) 17:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
We need a Emergency Alert template in the article as well. I can't place one, since I may have to evacuate due to the ongoing tornado alert for my area. 205.240.144.214 ( talk) 17:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Hope I'm wrong on this. The Weather Channel, NOAA has indicated that this may happen. Need a Alert template on this matter. Affected areas: Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, states north of these to the Canadian border. Servere storms, hail, frequent lightning, even TORNADOES are expected on May 6 - 8 so far, given the fact that the last weather system has produced 50+ tornadoes, very servere weather. In the Texas and Louisiana area, storms will fire up this afternoon AND at night as a front moves through, a surface low and a upper level low moves through this area, causing immense instability in this area today and tonight. This system has already produced servere weather AND tornadoes, prompting Thunderstorm and Tornado Watches in the past. This will happen when solar heating adds to the instability. Can someone place a Warning template, appropriate templates? 205.240.146.169 ( talk) 05:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Got violent and servere storms near me. Need this! Thanx. 205.240.146.121 ( talk) 02:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Sometime between 8-9PM Charlottesville and Albemarle County got a tornado warning and the Charlottesville Pavillion was evacuated. The storm then weakened a bit and it ended at 9:15. This may have been the same storm to give a warning for Fredericksburg. A later storm briefly produced another tornado warning for Charlottesville. Stevv ( talk) 11:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
If there was not one or two-day breaks between the Suffolk outbreak and the May 2 outbreak and that the most recent outbreak and then for potentially another coming up for the weekend this could easily be material for an outbreak sequence article from April 25 to this weekend's severe weather potential. Any thoughts?-- JForget 13:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Because there have been some large, damaging tornadoes in this time period, and coupled with a fatality in Greensboro, NC with still more severe weather expected to happen tomorrow, I believe that an article may be needed. Comments? Chukonu xbow ( talk) 23:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree regarding the outbreak sequence. What happened on May 7-9 does not warrant an article on its own, but if the weekend is bad, it should go into a new article with May 10-11 covering a five-day period. (What happened on May 1-2 IMO happened long enough ago to remain distinct since there were no confirmed tornadoes from May 3-6; just May 1-2 will need to be renamed). CrazyC83 ( talk) 15:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
JForget and CrazyC, you guys are ridiculous. Every time I go to update this page, it's already been updated!. Because of you two, Wikipedia is generally a few hours ahead of CNN.
On a related note, with 10 fatalities, today and tomorrow should definitely have an article. - Running On Brains 02:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
And it may still not be over - another active week is forecast. The amount of time separating the events will determine whether to continue them in the current article, or separate it all. Tomorrow should be quiet, but May 13-15 expects to be very active. CrazyC83 ( talk) 16:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I propose that an article about the April 28, 2008 tornadoes that hit virginia and north carolina should be created. Any thoughts? Storm05 ( talk) 15:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Someone else decided to create an article for this developing outbreak (not linked to this page). IMO it is way too early (although there is a good chance it will be warranted in the end), but it created a bit of an argument. Let it stand or delete it? CrazyC83 ( talk) 19:40, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Not surprisingly, a high risk today. The article may be needed fairly quickly once things get going. CrazyC83 ( talk) 14:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I've already built a lead and synopsis section on the draft version as I'm anticipating to move it to mainspace tonight. I've put in bold June 2008 tornado outbreak sequence for the moment as possible title. I think, we will have a sufficient number of tornadoes that even if there are no tornadic deaths an article will be needed. JForget 19:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Wow this was really serious where I was. A large tornado did some damage south of chicago and there was a large funnel cloud where I was which prompted tornado sirens. Fortunately it looks to be over here. Rvk41 ( talk) 00:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I guess we might have another article to deal with, unless there is the need to solidify even further the notability case of the previous article since (notice it is another Midwest outbreak), there have been questions about it. I've thought we would finally get a break from the intense tornado activity and that the stuff today would not have been worth mentioning anywhere. I guess I'm wrong.-- JForget 00:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
<unindent>Well, it looks like we're going the way of the Tropical Cyclones, needing an article for every outbreak causing damage. Not that thats a bad thing, I'd like to have as many articles as we can chug out, especially for years past. It's only unfortunate that we don't get six months off to polish the articles between seasons ;-) - Running On Brains 05:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
It's only June and the article is already at 83 kb. Should there be any concern about this? Rvk41 ( talk) 03:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
There were two confirmed tornados in California on May 23rd 2008. Can someone add those in? I don't know how. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.156.152 ( talk) 05:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
After loooking at ESWD most of those tornadoes aren't even verified, even the one that killed a person in Russia. One that was F3 appears to be an opinion from someone on a message board. What makes this a reliable source? Rvk41 ( talk) 14:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch out (a rare thing). Embedded tornadoes may warrant a section here, but with millions of people in the way, it might very well warrant an article. We'll have to watch closely. CrazyC83 ( talk) 00:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Not currently warranted, but depending on damage reports and duration, it may eventually be. (Tropical-related outbreaks are always tricky as they are an undercard to the main event - in this case Gustav itself.) I started it at User:CrazyC83/Outbreak0901. CrazyC83 ( talk) 01:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Waiting for stuff to pop up on the web with confirmations, but Kansas City area TV stations are tracking a tornado on the ground, and warnings over the past hour have coincided with one confirmed twister prior to that one. Ubernostrum ( talk) 22:33, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
It looks like there could be a notable tornado outbreak in the midwest. There is already a moderate risk for today and maybe tomorrow. Rvk41 ( talk) 23:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Could somebody expand on the Nov 15 section? It seems to be a notable storm, as it has two fatalities. Although I couldn't find a lot of info, perhaps somebody else could? Chukonu xbow Talk Contribs 16:56, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm rethinking how the hyperactive period (from about May 7 to June 13 and three articles) should be treated on here. Since outbreaks were almost daily and difficult to differentiate, there are several thoughts in my opinion:
1) Leave alone in three articles. The quieter periods from May 16-21 and June 1-2 would act as breakpoints.
2) Combine into a single article ( May-June 2008 tornado outbreak sequence), with the tornado lists on multiple articles if necessary. That would show that everything happened so fast and eliminate all breakpoints. But putting 5 weeks of activity on a single article would be a tough task, very long and unprecedented.
3) Undo all the sequences and put each system on single articles (*indicates that tornado event alone warrants an article). Although that would create date duplication for different regions, it would create single events for the following: May 7-9, May 10-11*, May 14-15, May 20-22 (Southeast), May 22-27 (Midwest/Plains)*, May 29-31*, June 2-4 (Midwest/Mid-Atlantic), June 4-8 (Plains/Midwest)*, June 11-13*. That would put it into standard Wikipedia standards, but it creates difficult breakpoints and at least 5 articles (plus several new sections in this article).
There are pros and cons to all the options. CrazyC83 ( talk) 22:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Those are some basic things that either need to be or could be done to improve this article. Cyclonebiskit ( talk) 00:52, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
