Matador tornado rating[edit]

I found a reliable source saying it was an EF4. Here is the link: [1]https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/monthly-report/tornadoes/202313 2600:1014:B134:9495:0:28:8ECF:8401 (talk) 12:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note it does not say a specific windspeed, it just says EF4 Iamakid836e5 (talk) 12:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can't argue with you guys here, it does indeed say it was an EF4. However, all official damage surveys and rating sites still indicate it was an EF3, so maybe it was a typo from the guys over at NCEI when writing that 2023 summary report. So, while the EF4 rating is given directly to this event, I'm hesitant to update it with just this. Mjeims (talk) 15:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NWS Lubbock reports that it is a typo on NCEI's part via Twitter/X.

> This is a typo from NCEI and they've been notified. The official Storm Data from which NCEI references correctly lists Matador as an EF-3. Penitentes (talk) 17:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
