| Y'know, I just wanted to stop by and say that I'm grateful for your hard work on lists of tornadoes – particularly List of United States tornadoes in April 2024! Great work, keep it up! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 02:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC) |
2007 Piedras Negras-Eagle Pass tornado
You found a source that said that these two tornado events were connected. While I don't necessarily doubt that finding, I really need to know where exactly in the article it is. I haven't studied Spanish in a long time, so I don't know where it is. Also, with NCEI report saying that these were two separate tornadoes, we got to figure out which source should be used here.

- From the source I labeled, I have these areas in the article (with their English translations!):
- Page 4, Paragraph 3 - "The participating investigators conducted an extensive tour of the affected areas to identify the path of the tornado in the Piedras Negras area and traveled to the area of Eagle Pass, Texas, to also recognize the affected area of Rosita Valley (Rosita South) in the same Maverick County that was also damaged by the tornado to interview local officials. and collect information on the effects of the passage of the meteor that would be useful to generate some comparative appreciations."
- Page 6, Paragraph 1 - "On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 24, 2007, a storm system called a supercell appeared in the north of the country that generated a tornado of multiple vortices that developed a devastating path with a little more than 1 kilometer in diameter through the area of Villa de Fuente in the urban context of Piedras Negras, Coahuila and advanced a little more than 22 kilometers to reach the residential area of Rosita Valley (Rosita South) in Eagle Pass, Texas."
- Page 6, Paragraph 3 - "In field interviews, we found descriptions of the formation of the tornado in the Acoros residential colony to the west of the city of Piedras Negras, following a trajectory to the east, causing damage to the Deportivo Fraccionamiento and the most severe damage to Villa de Fuente, then passing through the Ejido Villa de Fuente where it stopped generating destruction in the urban area. Moving forward through unpopulated areas in a southeasterly direction crossing the Rio Grande, to reach inhabited areas again in the aforementioned area of Rosita Valley jurisdiction of Eagle Pass, Maverick County in Texas."
- And then Page 24 on the paper has a map of their estimated path of the tornado.
- Personally, as much of a used source as the NCEI is, I think this paper is better solely because of the fact it is a research paper and it was published after the NCEI release. It's up to you which you think would be better, I'm fine with any change! Timcigar12 (talk) 22:19, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

St. Louis tornado outbreak of February 1959 table reformatting
Given the historical significance of the 2025 St. Louis tornado with regards to the 1959 St. Louis tornado, I'm going to attempt to bring the St. Louis tornado outbreak of February 1959 article to GA status. Can you help by reformatting the table? I would appreciate it. ChessEric 22:05, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- You betcha! Timcigar12 (talk) 03:58, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! ChessEric 13:56, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- I hate to put you on the spot, but can you go to the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Severe weather page and see what other monthly articles you can fix up? I specifically think that the list articles that only need their tables modernized are to preferred. You don’t need to do it all right now; take your time. ChessEric 00:37, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Zero hassle to me at all my man. I've just been working on adding the appropriate state categories to every outbreak article the past two days and I can put that on hold and the table cleanup since that's relatively fast. Timcigar12 (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
A Helpful Guide!
Sometimes, it's hard for me to find a way to create a wildfire-related page. So, I sometimes need something to guide me through. Although, I think it's only right to share my WP:Guide with multiple different users. So, here you go---User:CostalCal/Guide! I hope you read this next time you create or edit a wildfire-related page. CostalCal (talk) 18:35, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
