broadcast parts

[edit]

"A KXAS camera in downtown Fort Worth was broadcasting during the 6 p.m. weather segment and may have broadcast parts of the tornado."

One should know by now. The comment should be removed.

This was the camera that was facing away? The commentary mentioned "some slight winds blowing a little debris." The tornado was behind the camera ripping up downtown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.206.155.210 (talk) 00:36, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

I moved "Fort Worth Tornado" to "Fort Worth tornado" to comply with [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events).. --Rosiestep (talk) 23:34, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fujita ranking

[edit]

I cannot believe so an error has not been caught yet: "with some estimates making it a very low F4" NO. The damage surveys put the tornado at a "minimal f3" And to my understanding that rating has been criticized for being to high. Yes, the damage to the Cash America building was bad, though it probably was hit head on with the worst winds. The tornado was definitely not that strong. Just google images from the Atlanta tornado and one will find the damage to be somewhat similar.

Reviewing later.—CycloneIsaac (Talk) 04:13, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't think there's a need to mention the state name after the city name, since all the cities mentioned are within the state of Texas.
  • "On the afternoon of March 28" I think you can change to "Later that day", etc.

Mostly tiny issues. It should pass easily.—CycloneIsaac (Talk) 04:03, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I've made adjustments accordingly. TheAustinMan(Talk·Works) 00:44, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming

[edit]

@ChessEric: I agree that the title here ought to include the word "outbreak", since the article makes clear that there were ten tornadoes that hit the area that day. It looks to me, however, like "2000 Fort Worth tornado outbreak" is the standard sequence of ideas in the title for articles of this sort. When I look for other tornado and tornado outbreak articles with locations and years in the their names in Category:Tornadoes in Texas, which includes this article, I see 1902 Goliad, Texas, tornado, 1922 Austin twin tornadoes, 1997 Central Texas tornado outbreak, 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak, etc. They all seem to be structured <year> <location> <event>; I don't see a single one structured <location> <event> of <year>. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 15:26, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bryanrutherford0: Oh. I have no idea why I renamed it that. LOL! Thanks for changing that.ChessEric (talk) 16:31, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
