Amory tornado

Latest comment: 10 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I think it should have an article. While the death count was low (at 2), it is notable in other ways. It cuased $80 million in damage. It was also 1600 yards (0.9 miles) wide. Another reason (but less important) reason is because the 2023 Clarksville tornado has an article. Reeceycat123987 (talk) 13:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Tornado width (and other characteristics) don't really have any bearing on whether a tornado deserves its own article unless they are somehow exceptional, which is fairly rare. I would also wait for the deletion discussion on the Clarksville tornado's article to conclude before using it as precedent. Penitentes (talk) 14:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
