Comments

• "Creek – Moore " or "Creek–Moore"? Be consistent.
• "highest wind speeds ever measured" in the world? context please.
• "killing 36 people (plus an additional five indirectly)" MOSNUM would say use consistent formatting for similar numerical quantities, so 36 and 5 or thirty-six and five.
• "and leaving $1 billion in losses behind" causing $1 billion damage?
• "This ranks the tornado as the third costliest on record, not accounting for inflation" really? In actuals it looks like the 4th, with inflation it looks like 5th (per the source given).
• "An American Flag blows " why is Flag capitalised?
• "The Bridge Creek–Moore tornado was part of a much larger tornado outbreak which spawned 71 tornadoes" three "tornado" in 17 words is a little repetitive. Could lose the middle one.
• "Click on the map to enlarge." not necessary. Or, at least, I've never seen this in captions before.
• "Urban search and rescue teams were deployed to help search for missing persons in the wake of the tornado" needs a period.
• "under which someone was killed by the tornado" someone -> one person
• Check ref titles for en-dash e.g. ref 1 should be May 3–4.
• Retrieval dates should be of the same format.

Sorry for the delay and the brief review, I'll give it more attention once these are dealt with, so I'll put it on hold for now. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:13, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

No worries, I'll re-check in due course. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:44, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

why is it the 4 costliest?

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/damage$.htm no matter what side you chose it will make it go 5 or 6 place look at the Hackleburg AL , Lubbock TX and Topeka KS tornadoes why hasent any one notice this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.118.207.158 (talk) 15:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Multiple Vortex?

I was wondering, would this tornado qualify to be counted as a "multiple-vortex tornado", or would it be considered a more conventional tornado? Thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Orca1 9904 (talk) 08:10, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
