Tornadoes[edit]
Hey there Quxyz, we haven’t interacted much, but I thought I’d reach out. I’ve been trying to recruit editors to help with creating more tornado articles. I almost hate to ask, but do you have any interest in tornadoes? I know they’re common and can be devastating in your state, which is why it’s a shame that there is no List of Iowa tornadoes. Such a list wouldn’t need to include every known event - there would be too many to get them all. But getting a general climatology and notable outbreaks would be useful. I mention this because I worked on List of California tornadoes and recently got it to a featured list. One day I would love if every state had their own list for all sorts of weather events. I can help out if you’re interested.
Or if you’re more into tropical cyclones (I am personally!) I wondered what aspect you liked most, and was curious about working on. There are literally tens of thousands of weather articles out there, including a lot waiting to be written! Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 21:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- I am good regarding the list. If you have any specific outbreaks you want me to write about, from Iowa and neighboring states, I will be glad to help. ✶Quxyz✶ 22:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nice! Well a hypothetical Draft:List of Iowa tornadoes should have stuff like when was the first recorded tornado in the state. This NWS source gives an average of 47 tornadoes per year in Iowa. Plus, it includes the record drought of tornadoes between 2012 and 2013, with 359 days without a tornado. The main things to include would be any F/EF5 tornadoes, the deadliest events (back in 1968 apparently). Whatcha think? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 22:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Once again, I am not currently interested in producing a list of Iowa tornadoes. I might look into a few specific tornadoes though. ✶Quxyz✶ 23:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oh lol I misunderstood what you meant by “I am good.” Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
