I'm adding the tag as there are some sections/phrasing that would need to be re-worked due to inappropriate tone/wording and possible weasel words and non-neutral content.

Some examples includes:

"Dazed survivors would never forget emerging from the rubble of what was once an active mill town; thus, now lay shattered in bits and pieces like a jigsaw puzzle thrown into the wind."

"This giant, killer tornado took direct aim on the small hamlet of Townley, in southeastern Allen County, virtually destroying the entire town by leveling every building and completely sweeping the debris away in some cases away, leaving only the bare foundation as a remembrance."

"As this mammoth cyclone of death moved into the northeastern part of the county, the areas to the east of Geneva and south of Ceylon, it proceeded to completely sweep away any trace of humanity in its path. Furthermore, entire farms were literally wiped off the face of the earth, leaving no trace of its occupants or livestock that had just minutes before must have known something was tragically wrong as the eerie green skies began to bombard the countryside with baseball sized hail. From here the twister would move on into Mercer and Van Wert Counties in Ohio continuing its rein of destruction."

"Around 7:15 p.m. a solid black wall of swirling clouds proceeded to engulf Raabs Corners and completely obliterating everything in its wake, leaving only clean foundations and splintered wood scattered about, as a reminder of the town that once stood there."

"Here Mother Nature succeeded in killing a town and taking it off the map forever. Local residents decided not to rebuild, moving to nearby communities in Michigan and Ohio, instead of living with the painful reminder of everything that was lost in a matter of seconds. Since that day, only an intersection remains at once was the main four corners. As the years have passed, so have the lives of those who once lived in Raabs Corners, taking with them their memories of a town now gone."

"The stunned residents of Genoa, Ohio were like many others that night across the Midwest and Deep South states had been dealt a heavy blow from Mother Nature."

I'm leaving this discussion open to see if anyone agrees on doing some extensive copyediting and NPOV improvements. JForget 20:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I'd agree with you, it needs a bigtime cleanup. Gopher backer ( talk) 21:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC) reply
