Great job Dr.Roth, this article has been here three years and yet has had no one to tackle the work on it. It reaches all Good Article Criteria. Nice job.^Mitch32^contribs 18:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tornadoes

If we count the tornadoes from about the 16-17 to the 22nd, the storm would have produced 117 tornadoes excluding those in the Great Lakes, Florida and Central Plains that took place at that time - thus it would rank second. The three tornadoes on the 23/24 since it occurred after dissipation will not count. --JForget 17:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Damage

In the infobox it says that it caused $1.1 billion in damage unadjusted, but all of the damage info in the article says that that is in 2000 or 2005 dollars. I'm inclined to believe that the infobox is right. Right? bob rulz (talk) 12:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Town noted on image may be incorrect.

The city name on image under the section "3.3 United States" may be incorrect. It notes the damage and flooding in "McAllen, TX." However, the sign notes the location of the "Palm Lounge," which is located in Brownsville, TX., and is located there to this day. Therefore, it has to be the city of Brownsville, TX.

Downgrading to C-class

Given how much info isn't in the article, how short it is, and the lack of references, I'm boldly downgrading this to just C-class. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:23, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
