Adding Tornadoes[edit]

Looking off of the Damage Assessment Toolkit, there are 6 tornadoes from the outbreak that haven't been added to the article yet. Those tornadoes are: an EF1 in San Jacinto County, Texas; an EF1 in Angelina County, Texas; an EF0 in Prague, Oklahoma; an EF1 in Upson County, Georgia; an EF0 in Pike County, Georgia; and an EF0 in Spalding County, Georgia. Adding these also raise the tornado total for this outbreak to 76, and raise the yearly total to 79. Can someone add these? Gio52903 (talk) 22:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added the Angelina County, TX and Upson County, GA tornadoes to the list. The other two Georgia tornadoes were on January 13/14 and so won't be counted for this outbreak but will be added to the monthly list. I couldn't find any statements from the WFOs in Norman or Houston/Galveston on the other two. I should note, though, that a couple times I have seen EF ratings given to straight-line wind damage in the toolkit, so I'm not sure that these two were tornadoes.

2 tornadoes confirmed this outbreak are not the article[edit]

I mentioned this in my previous talk section on here, and I will mention it again. 2 tornadoes still need to be added to the outbreak. One was an EF0 that hit Prague, Oklahoma. The other was an EF1 that occurred in San Jacinto County, Texas. This would raise the outbreak total to 80 and the yearly total to 86. So what if we don't have the information statements? It's on the toolkit, the information is on there. Just use that. Gio52903 (talk) 14:53, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We can't be sure that they were tornadoes unless a statement is released saying so. For example, if you look at the toolkit set to events from November 1 2019, two events in New Jersey are given paths and EF ratings for the damage, but statements list them as thunderstorm wind events rather than tornadoes. Worst case, if they are tornadoes, they can be added when the NCEI data comes out in March or April. TornadoLGS (talk) 15:49, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can add the Prague EF0 now. A Public Information Statement was released on it. https://twitter.com/iembot_oun/status/1220381608445788160?s=19 Gio52903 (talk) 18:51, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
