Yes, but does it need an article? We never gave articles, or even sections, to the tornadoes that touch down in Alaska. This can be effectively summarized at
Tornadoes of 2016 in a section, which is quite short. I get it’s a rare event, but those tornadoes in China that kill a lot of people don’t get articles, even the one in May 2010 that had 51 deaths didn’t. I don’t think an article is necessary.

First, see
WP:OTHERSTUFF on other tornadoes which do or do not get articles. A few factors can weigh in on an event's notability, even if one on its own would not make it article-worthy. Though I am not really convinced this should get an article. I favor merging unless enough information can be found to grow this into more than a stub.

EF Scale
How the Manila tornado rated EF1? There should be a source for rating the tornado in the Philippines. Philippines doesn't adapt Fujita-Pearson scale or Enhanced Fujita Scale. I don't know if PAGASA or Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration gave that rating as EF1 or the PAGASA called the NOAA of USA to rate the tornado. Please someone add source about rating the Manila tornado

@
Sarge Da2: That is a good question. Two of the three sources don't mention a rating and the other is paywalled so I can't see the whole article. It is possible that the rating was done by an unofficial assessment, as is the case for most US tornadoes prior to 1950. That being said, I found the edit that initially added the rating; an IP editor added it without providing a source, so I will remove it.

Can I add image of Manila tornado? This is the tornado in Manila. If you want, you will upload this image because I don't know how to. If you don't want to upload it, ignore this message or you reply, thank you.

Sarge Da2: Hi, I saw your previous attempt to add the image from a link at Mashable. Images cannot be added to Wikipedia via external links. As to the upload on the Commons, it appears to have been downloaded from a website (likely Mashable). If you did not take the picture, you cannot claim it as your own work and uploading it to the Commons was likely a copyright violation. In that case we can't use it. The unfortunate reality is, most of the time there are no photos of a tornado that we can use here.
