Talk:List of tornadoes by calendar day

Working on it… (update 30 December 2022)

I really like this page and will continue to work on fixing it up as much and as quickly as I'm able. I know I'm not perfect on coding for references. Please correct any such mistakes and advise me where I made errors so I won't repeat them.

As of today, January to April is done and I'm about halfway through May. I’m hoping to continue filling in days that were excluded and adding information and references where I can find them. I also plan to delete insignificant or unverifiable listings and add tornadoes with historical significance or some degree of human interest. Eventually, every day of the calendar year will be represented on this page (at least for North/Central America). I'll also do my best to add significant tornadoes from other continents as well.

Looking forward to making this page really sparkle. Dym75 (talk) 05:15, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Reminder for numbers

Numbers between zero and nine should *always* be spelled out. Anything 10 and up can be written as numerals. Some style books suggest up to 100 should be spelled out but that isn’t necessary here. But, obviously, it’s EF0, EF2, etc, not EF-zero or EF-two. Dym75 (talk) 05:17, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Exceptions

1. At the beginning of a sentence, numbers are always spelled out, regardless of size (e.g. Eighteen people were killed. Fifty houses were destroyed.)

2. When writing units of measurement - cm, mph, kg, et. al. - never spell out the number, regardless of size. (e.g. 6cm, 5mph, 10kg). Dym75 (talk) 05:17, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

2023 and ‘24?

There was a notable tornado in Rolling Fork, Mississippi and another one in Wynne, Arkansas in March of 2023. There have also been several big tornadoes this year. 2601:5C5:4201:68B0:B0CF:B19:B7BB:4811 (talk) 18:46, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
