I've also put this note at User talk:67.166.58.4 considering you are obviously the same person.

I'm pretty much sure that it did NOT happen according to NWS records and Tornado History Project and works by Grazelis, but if so do you have a reference that proves if there was an F5 in Limon, Colorado on that date. Additionnaly do have a source mentionning that the Holly tornado last March was an EF4.--JForget 23:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source for the

In the Wikipedia article Holly, Colorado it says under the caption '2007 Tornado' that a violent EF4 hit Holly. There is my source right from Wikipedia!--Cgkimpson 26:28 9 July 2007

I've noticed some blogs such as this had mentioned that it is an EF4 tornado (actually the blogger use the old scale) also with some other independent sources. Although, most news articles and the NWS in Pueblo had classified as an EF3. [1] I haven't found an article from the NWS or Accuweather or serious sources suggesting that it was an EF4. Maybe, they will changed, since it was a high-end EF3 according to Pueblo but maybe it will only be known in a later article (although it has been over 3 months so I doubt it will changed) or when there will be a compilation of all US and/or Colorado tornadoes from this year. But so far I haven't see a serious reference proving the EF4, so I would suggest to keep the NWS rating of EF3 for now.By the way blogs are strongly discouraged as references, since it is mostly from individuals. --JForget 15:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My grandfather went through the EF5 tornado, he died from it. I also watched it on the news and it was an EF5. That is the best source I can give you, my grandpa died from it!!!

Might I suggest using Google to dig up some references? While you have my sympathies for losing your grandfather in this disaster, we really need something more than this. The passage of your grandfather as a result of this is little more than colloquial referencing, and that's not a very

To The contrary of what the nom of the Afd of your Colorado article, this is not a complete hoax. However, after researches done with the Tornado History Project e which stores storm archives (unlike Environment Canada) and which virtually picks there data from the National Weather Service, there were mistakes on your article. First, the date (or the closest one) in which in outbreak did hit Colorado, which may be closest then what was put in the article occurred on June 6, 1990 not June 11 (reasons that I mentioned in the Afd. Second of all, you have wrote there something like 20-30 (didn't remember the exact number of it) tornadoes occurred but [2] but based on the June 6 data, there were 9 tornadoes in Colorado that day while the 7 others were from Indiana and Kentucky and most likely from a different storm system (unless the cold front was very long). Second of all, yes a tornado hit Limon, Colorado that day, however it was rated as an F3 and not an F5 and there were no fatalities with this storm although 14 were injured [3]

F3 was the highest rating found that day along with another storm just to the west of Limon, probably from the same storm.

The general criterias for a tornado article were mentioned in the Tornadoes of 2006 discussion page, although likely as well in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Severe weather. It must satisfy one of the criterias below:

• F2 or larger in the heart of a mid-sized or large city (i.e. 50,000+) - Limon according to Wikipedia had a population of 2,071 in 2000 (although don't know the population in 1990, but certainly not 50,000.
• 10+ fatalities - Tornado history project data shows 0 fatalities
• 50+ overall tornadoes - Only 9 tornadoes were confirmed in Colorado + 7 in the Ohio Valley (but likely not counting)
• 25+ overall tornadoes plus a killer - Again only 9 tornadoes and 0 fatalities
• Killer F5 tornado in any circumstance Highest according to THP is an F3.

Unfortunately it does not meet any of the criteria to warrant an article, but if the members of the project are proceeding to do articles about Tornado events per year, then it can be mentioned, considering small events (smaller then the Colorado one) were often posted in Tornadoes of 2006 and 2007.--JForget 15:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
