I'd wait until at least Thursday to make this article. There's not likely to be significant tornadic activity in 2016 for a while yet and without a major ongoing outbreak there's not really much of a need for an article five days before the year even begins. -- Anonymous Macaw ( talk) 18:25, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
SPC seems to be wording their forecast pretty strongly for the Feb 1-3 storm; vaguely similar to the 2008 Super Tuesday outbreak. They've even mentioned tornadoes as the primary risk which they hardly ever do unless they're pretty confident of a significant outbreak. Obviously a lot can change between now and Monday (hopefully - last I checked the setup was pretty threatening) - so I thought I'd give a heads-up in case an article becomes necessary - hopefully it doesn't, but this storm has the potential to toss out quite a few tornadoes. -- Anonymous Macaw ( talk) 17:50, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
SPC is considering an upgrade to High Risk across the Gulf Coast tonight, and possibly an upgrade to Moderate Risk across the Carolinas for tomorrow. Multiple long-track, strong tornadoes are expected today and tomorrow. This has all the red flags for a high-impact, and potentially mass casualty event. If it doesn't bust, this will likely be the first article worthy event of 2016. Get ready to do a lot of editing over the next few days. Sharkguy05 ( talk) 20:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Sharkguy05
Will someone create a map for 2016 like the one in the 2015 article, now that we have (unfortunately) have had a few separate deadly tornadoes in different states? Skycycle ( talk) 22:51, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
I made one at Template:Tornadoes of 2016/Deadly. Hopefully it works right. Jh23487 ( talk) 03:39, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
A stop needs to be done to the tornado chart and the confirmed tornado thing up in the first paragraph. Jdcomix changes it every time a tornado is reported (a tornado or not). I think it is unnecessary to do this because it is unsourced every time he does it. It is very confusing too and it needs to be put to a stop. I think a good way to solve it is to revert it until it is found with a reliable source and is not a preliminary result unless stated otherwise, such as it hasn't been assessed fully yet. ("unless stated otherwise" means like an upgrade, downgraded to a straight line wind, downgraded on the Fujita Scale, etc.) Thanks, HurricaneGonzalo ( talk) 11:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
I found a Tornadoes of 2016 database on the U.S. Tornadoes website at [1]. Right now, there are 228 tornadoes listed, while this page only has 202 tornadoes, so some tornadoes are missing. I will try to find the tornadoes listed in the database not on this page and the monthly lists and add them. This seems pretty helpful, though. Jh23487 ( talk) 21:55, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
We have two killer tornadoes, at least three EF2s, four EF3s (Mayfield KY is being upgraded), and a violent EF4. I think we need a full article, but I wanted to run it by everyone first. Thoughts or concerns? Sharkguy05 ( talk) 17:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)Sharkguy05
Who ever did this completely jumped the gun. I had not even finished my detailed damage path summaries for the Katie and Sulpher tornadoes. This WAS an article worthy event for the following reasons:

No fatalities so far, but this outbreak has produced EF3+ damage each day. Today's tornado near Chapman, KS tornado ripped railroad tracks from the ground and swept away homes. I feel an EF4+ rating for Chapman may be around the corner, and additional tornadoes are expected tomorrow. Thoughts on an article? Sharkguy05 ( talk) 03:07, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Sharkguy05

Why is there no article for this event or even a name change from List of United States tornadoes in June 2016 to List of United States tornadoes from June to July 2016? Would it not be notable enough for WP:Events? I see no reason why we can't expand the the list I just mentioned and move the article to include the July events. Could someone please explain?-- Kevjgav ( talk) 16:53, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
No offense to whomever edited that part, but I have seen no damage survey or anything that would indicate the Manila tornado was EF2+, let alone EF4. If someone has some evidence to show that it was indeed EF4, I would love to see it, otherwise I suggest removing it from the strongest tornadoes section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsoonman19 ( talk • contribs) 22:18, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
A significant outbreak is ongoing with 34 tornadoes reported so far this afternoon and evening and likely EF2+ damage. Waiting for confirmation but a section will probably be needed.

I'm confused as to why the weak, small outbreak of tornadoes in Grand Rapids on August 20 has a section, while the major August 24 outbreak in Indiana, Ohio, and Ontario does not? Makes no sense. Sharkguy05 ( talk) 16:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)Sharkguy05
Is there enough info yet to warrant an article for List of United States tornadoes in September 2016?-- Halls4521 ( talk) 05:00, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
So, I was wondering since the tornado outbreak that just occurred was pretty significant (to me), if someone should make an article on it. The tornado in Rosalie/Iber, Alabama had to be at least EF3, maybe EF4/5, which is pretty note worthy considering it happened in late November. Also, the storms spawned about 30-35 tornadoes in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina. With all of this, I'd say there is enough significance to make its own article. I would make the page, but I'm a new user. MegaEarthquake ( talk) 05:15, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
So, I've noticed that the events category tornado rable really needs to be updated. Also, the death map unfortunately needs to be updated as well, since we have 5 more deaths from the most recent outbreak. MegaEarthquake ( talk) 04:22, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
On the September to November tornado list, I changed the deaths for the Rosalie and Ocoee tornadoes to be regular text, but two different users have changed it back to bold. As far as I can tell, since 2013, deaths haven't been bolded, so are they supposed to be in regular text? Jh23487 ( talk) 23:30, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Following the advice of other editors, I would like to have discussion to see if there is enough consensus to bring back the August 2016 tornado outbreak article. The outbreak was very unusual due to the time of year and area where it occurred, and due to the fact it was very much unexpected. Even without that, it produced a considerable number of strong tornadoes, and caused significant damage in multiple populated areas. If the 2018 Iowa tornado outbreak article is still, up I think this one should be too. What do you guys think? TornadoInformation12 ( talk) 02:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)TornadoInformation12
