Tornadoes

• Amite-Pine-Purvis Tornadoes- The seventh deadliest tornadoes in US history
• Georgia - South Carolina Outbreak of March 1973- Contained one of the costliest tornadoes in US history
• I don't know if i should put this here or on a talk page somewhere, but there was a tornado/tornado family that hit several towns in north central Kansas on Tuesday, September 25, 1973. It killed a few people, and the tornado that hit Salina, KS was rated F3. The only problem is I can't find anything that says whether this was a single tornado, a tornado family, or part of a tornado outbreak. I have several newspapers (Salina Journal) from the week that would be useful in writing an article if it turns out that this was something notable. --Ks0stm ^(T•C) 18:15, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

As it turns out, this may have been a tornado outbreak...I found a tiny article in one of the newspapers that says:

"The National Weather Service has counted only 59 September tornadoes in Kansas since 1916, but in the past two days there have been 24."

• October 1998 Texas Flooding- $750 million in damage and 31 deaths, mentioned in Floods in the United States
  • This NWS report has tons of great info. Floods in the United States calls it Central and South Texas Flood of October 1998. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• November 2003 Caribbean Flooding- About a dozen deaths and moderate damage
  • I did some research on this one a while back but never got a chance to do the article. Here are some links that'll help get started- PR Effects ($10 million, 2 fatalities), USVI Effects ($1.5 million), St. Croix effects, News report, Another News Report, Dominican Republic effects (10 dead), Damage pic, PR Aftermath (Disaster area), USVI Aftermath (Disaster area), Dartmouth, Probably low or mid importance.

Distribution of snow

The article for snow is completely bereft of information on where snow commonly, rarely or never occurs. I don't even know where to look for this information from the links in this article. This is a huge omission, can someone with more knowledge on the subject fix this?GSTQ (talk) 08:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Western NY snowstorm

Hi. I'm hoping this is the ideal place to address this. Anyhow, I created an article earlier for the November 2014 Western New York snowstorm, and I'm looking to recruit some additional editors to help expand it with more info. That being said, is there anyone with some expertise on the subject who can help hash out the article with me? KirkCliff2 (talk) 21:34, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
