Hi, I'm Salvador! I am an absolute tornado enthusiast and I make tornado path graphics for fun!
Fun Fact: Quincy Gordon was an old name I considered changing my irl name to lol
Published Articles
These are articles I made and published myself!
| F#/EF# | State / Country | Date | Fatalities | Injuries | Article | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F5 | Alabama | April 8, 1998 | 32 | 259 | 1998 Oak Grove–Birmingham tornado | I was incredibly surprised that neither of the Birmingham F5 tornadoes did not have any Wikipedia articles on them, which was extra surprising considering that both of them were very well talked about. (Fun Fact: This is the first ever Wikipedia article I have ever made!) |
Revamped Articles
These are articles I revamped heavily as they were basically stubs in their previous versions and genuinely needed a revamp.
| F#/EF# | State / Country | Date | Fatalities | Injuries | Article | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F4 | Wisconsin | June 29, 1865 | 17 | >100 | 1865 Viroqua tornado | This really old tornado was one of the first highly deadly tornado in Wisconsin state history. It was at the time the deadliest in the state until the 1899 New Richmond tornado. |
| F5 | Mississippi | December 5, 1953 | 38 | 270 | 1953 Vicksburg tornado | This tornado was never meant to be F5 fun fact! Either way I revamped this article as I was heavily invested in learning about this particular tornado. It was also the deadliest December tornado prior to Western Kentucky 2021 |
| F5 | Mississippi | March 3, 1966 | 57+ | 518 | 1966 Jackson, Mississippi tornado | The page was revamped from a "Tornado Outbreak" page, to a page mainly focused on the Jackson, Mississippi tornado. This revamp also expanded the tornado summary, added plenty of photos, and other fun stuff! |
WIP Articles
These are articles that I am working on and will finish in the future. Feel free to take a look through them!
| F#/EF# | State / Country | Date | Fatalities | Injuries | Article | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F5 | Texas | May 15, 1896 | Disputed: 73 (Officially) - 121 (Reanalysis) | >200 | Draft:1896 Sherman tornado | If the reanalysis death toll is correct, then this is easily the deadliest tornado in Texas state history. Newspapers reported that 140+ people died on this day. |
| F5 | Wisconsin | June 4, 1958 | 19 | >110 | Draft:1958 Colfax tornado | I have spent like, nearly an entire year researching this tornado. This tornado is probably one of the most underrated F5 tornadoes ever, it swept a reinforced concrete home completely clean, had insane contextual damage, yet no one talks about it cause it happened in Wisconsin. Crazy. |
| F4 | Texas | April 10, 1979 | 42+ | 1,740 | Draft:1979 Wichita Falls tornado | A highly deadly F4 tornado that was part of one of the most imfamous Texas outbreaks. I am surprised it did not have an article yet |
| F4 | Oklahoma | May 19, 2013 | 2 | 10 | Draft:2013 Lake Thunderbird–Shawnee tornado | A high end EF4 overshadowed by the Moore EF5. Tbh this article will take awhile since the main reason I started it was cuz there was a usable image for Wikipedia lol |
