I think it might be relevant to mention in this article a few of the Tornado Emergencies that have recently been issued by the National Weather Service. If any editor here thinks that it would be helpful, I have collected a few sources which could be used, and there are also a few sources at List of United States tornado emergencies, an article I have spent much time at lately. It might be best to wait a day or two first, though. Dustin (talk) 00:50, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
why is a gustnado on the list of the tornadoes list, gustnado aren't tornadoes so it should be removed, unless it was mistaken and was supercell tornado or landspout then it should stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.115.56.99 ( talk) 17:15, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
2+3+6+5+1 does not equal 21 or 26 - both of which totals the article currently claims. 75.41.109.190 ( talk) 03:47, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
In conjunction with the [[WP:ITN] nomination of this article, I have
1) hidden sections tagged for future expansion--orange tags are deprectaed on ITN noms, although I think the issue is largely arbitrary--at least the aesthetics are better. 2) put the various summaries in full sentence rather than headline form to conform to the three full prose paragraph requirement, and 3) split the list of tornadoes up by date for easier future editing.

This article [1] mentions another non-tornado death (tree vs. car) and a still missing child in a previous tornado. 75.41.109.190 ( talk) 16:38, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
"Eastern" U.S. is not exactly a very good descriptor: central and southern/southeastern would be much better. Nebraska and Oklahoma hardly qualify as eastern. 211.225.33.104 ( talk) 07:46, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
This will be a big event if it turns out to have been related: [2] Rmhermen ( talk) 14:59, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
There are a bunch of new tornadoes in the NWS Huntsville, Birmingham, and Jackson CWAs from this outbreak that need to be added. Some of the tornadoes in Mississippi (Hinds, Rankin, Scott Counties) were found to have been part of one long-tracked EF3 tornado. Someone needs to keep track of the changes and start correcting the listings/event descriptions in the table. CapeVerdeWave ( talk) 15:58, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
First, entities like tornadoes or people cannot be brief, they can be short-lived. Periods of time are brief.
Second, we need to use full sentences in the prose sections of the article. μηδείς ( talk) 20:13, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Maybe the article is still under construction, but if not, it makes little sense to have an article on the TN tornado that killed 2 and was an EF-3 or the Baxter Springs, KS tornadoes if there isn't one for the second most significant tornado of the outbreak outside of the Mayflower/Vilonia tornado. In my opinion, neither of the other two tornadoes really deserve sections if you consider what tornadoes have garnered sections in past articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.50.95.2 ( talk) 21:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Rain is commonly measured in mm. The Infobox should say that. Hail commonly uses cm. I know it’s a discrepancy but that’s how it should be. 144.121.66.230 ( talk) 16:16, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
