Alford tornado deaths

Small detail, but I'm just wondering if anyone could find the source for only one of the two deaths occurring in the destroyed mobile home in the Aldord EF3 tornado, since the only sources I'm reading say both deaths, a husband and wife, occurred there. If not, I think it should be changed. --Wikiwillz (talk) 23:59, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikiwillz: Fixed. An IP rewrote the damage description and got the detail about the deaths wrong. TornadoLGS (talk) 00:41, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate St. Tammany tornado

@TropicalAnalystwx13, TornadoLGS, Mjeims, and ChessEric: I think there is a duplicate tornado in St. Tammany Parish. There is only one tornado reported in the PNS from NWS Slidell and only one tornado listed for that location on DAT, both with locations WNW of Lacombe. The second tornado takes place at nearly the same time, and its location is NE of Lacombe. The source to back this up is the SPC reports, but there's only one tornado listed there in St. Tammany. An IP/anon removed the tornado, but it was added back here [1]. However, I have doubts that both of these existed and think it was just one. United States Man (talk) 14:50, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a duplicate to me. It was added here and sourced with the SPC reports page. Go ahead and remove. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 15:02, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It may have been my mistake. I do recall adding an EF0 tornado on St. Tammany Parish, but I do believe it was a different tornado. In the SPC storm reports, it appeared with slightly different coordinates without saying it was the end point of a previous report. That is what made me certain that two quick tornadoes occurred one after the other, hence the additional tornado in the table. Mjeims (talk) 15:06, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is a duplicate. I know because I added that tornado after I saw it on the DAT and chose the location Big Branch (which the tornado moved through) instead ESE of Mandeville or WNW of Lacombe. I don't know who added it again. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 15:46, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I went ahead and removed it and adjusted the totals accordingly. United States Man (talk) 15:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I saw; thank you. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 15:50, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I was not the one that added it back, but I was the one that placed it originally. I was also skeptical, so I'm glad it was a mistake after all. Mjeims (talk) 19:36, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Help

User:TornadoLGS User:ChessEric User:Elijahandskip User:TropicalAnalystwx13 User:United States Man I found here in an NCDC report an EF1 in Pennsylvania caused one death, but I couldn't line it up with a tornado. Could somebody fix this please? --BlueMet48493 (talk) 15:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa. That came out of nowhere; it doesn't appear to be a typo either since it's mentioned in the description. It may have tracked into another county or it's a tornado that was confirmed after a review of the event. Let me check. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 17:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I misread the description; an injury is mentioned, but not a fatality. Additionally, the fatality details are not complete and appear to be linked to the injury instead of a death. I believe this a typo, but I think someone needs to get in touch with the NCEI to fix this. ChessEric (talk · contribs) 17:17, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Didn’t see that a discussion happened last month, so let me just do an ending message because edit summaries already state it. NWS State College confirmed (via tweet) the Pennsylvania fatality was an error when NCEI created the tornado’s entry. Elijahandskip (talk) 22:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
