Incorrect Information--I don't know how to code

I was reading up on a tornado I know happened at what was Sherwood Shores Estates north of Clarendon on the area around Lake Greenbelt in Donley county on 18 April 1970. My father had property there and everything in the little community was torn to shreds. Several people died, thankfully not friends who had taken a guest pass into the Estates to camp on our spot but changed their minds and moved to a spot where the tornado missed. My father and mother went to Sherwood Shores to find the friends, fearing the worst. The friends came through okay. The tornado was an EF-4.

I hit Wikipedia and put in Sherwood Shores. This points me to an unincorporated town on the Red River in Grayson County. This has the information about the tornado but it misidentifies it as happening in Grayson county. Misidentification on page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwood_Shores,_Texas

The information should be in the Wiki on Howardwick Texas. Sherwood Shores Estates was established in the late 1970s. The Texas History Online site has the information for Howardwick with the correct information about Sherwood Shores and the tornado. (https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/howardwick-tx).

Local paper in Amarillo has a story about the tornado and a list of the deaths from the outbreak that night: https://www.newspapers.com/image/29898667/

As I said, I don't know how to code and so I'm dropping it here hoping someone who does can fix the story.
