DYK for 2008 Picher–Neosho tornado

On 10 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2008 Picher–Neosho tornado, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Picher, Oklahoma, was hit so hard by a tornado in 2008 that it would become a ghost town in 2015? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2008 Picher–Neosho tornado. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2008 Picher–Neosho tornado), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

1955 Great Plains tornado outbreak

I reverted an IP that appeared to be removing references from the article.[1] Could you check and make sure I didn't mess the article up even worse? --Kansas Bear 21:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

It looks good, besides some uncited info. I'm highly surprised the Blackwell tornado doesn't have an article, yet. E_F⁵ 21:31, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, such things usually get banded up together to form an article. Needless trivia: my grandfather was in Blackwell when the tornado went through.

I've tried to find out if the tornado hit or just missed the Blackwell drive-in theatre, to no avail unfortunately.

Stay safe and happy editing! --Kansas Bear 21:36, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Lining up this with this, I can safely say that the theater either sustained minor damage or wasn't hit. Not directly, at least. :) E_F⁵ 21:40, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

maybe soon :) Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 21:49, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

If you do end up making it, please make a section on how it "glowed" blue. Always one of the weirdest tornado things to me, besides that Nashville tornado explosion in 2023. :) E_F⁵ 22:08, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Tri-State

Do you want to keep working on getting the Tri-State tornado to FAC? It would be wonderful to see it on the main page on its 100th anniversary, but with Greensburg's FAC being open and the fact there's only 2 and a half months to improve the quality all the way to FA, it might be a bit much effort. Let me know your thoughts. Departure– (talk) 20:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Sure! I just have to wait for the Greensburg FAC to close (hopefully as successful), but then I can nominate it (there's a rule that a nominator can only have one FAC open at a time). :) E_F⁵ 20:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Just reading your user page and

I have two things to say:

1. Regarding this I (thrice) made 30 articles in one day, the majority of which were about fish. (Don't worry, the vast majority were two sentences, not one).: I'm sure you already know this, but fish don’t exist. Jokes aside, if you haven't read her book, I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who will listen, and those who won't 🙃

2. Holy fire tornado. Did you take that video? What fire is that from?? I know they're unfortunately increasing in frequency (or at least that's my perception as fire behavior continues to become seemingly stochastic), but still. Delectopierre (talk) 02:06, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
