HurricaneCovid: Can you please provide a link to an article stating that there were 6 deaths? The front page of TWC still states 5 deaths. Articles I can find stating 6 deaths are about an outbreak from last year.

Just wanted to go over something in case it happens. According to the SPC, there is considerable potential for more strong tornadoes across the same regions (the South) on March 27. If significant tornado activity continues, should we expand this article, or start a new one? If tornadoes continue past that date, this will start to meet the general criteria for a tornado outbreak sequence. Thoughts?

I'd see what happens today. If there is little or no activity, I'd favor splitting, if the upcoming event is even article-worthy.

A tornado may have touched down in Vermont today so the possibility is there for this to become an outbreak sequence article, although that would be stretching the rules a little bit.

There was a significant tornado in Middlebury, VT today. I’m strongly considering making this an outbreak sequence article, especially if the Vermont tornado ends up EF2+. That would be different than the Leap Day/March 2, 2012 event due to strong tornadoes on each day.

Let's wait an see where we are tomorrow. If someone jumps on another article, it can just be combined directly into this one. You never know when you're gonna have a bust with just a handful of tornadoes (although that hasn't happened the last couple weeks).

I made
Draft:Tornado outbreak of March 27 2021 in case we have an outbreak start. With a level 3 of 5 watch issued, I feel like there is enough for a draft to be ready. If we don't have an outbreak, then we can just delete the draft and/or merge any information that was there. If we have an outbreak start, we have a place to add the information as it comes in.

So if more strong tornadoes occur today, we’ll definitely start a new article, rather than expand the previous one into an outbreak sequence? I personally like the outbreak sequence idea, but if nobody else wants to do that, I won’t. Thoughts?

TornadoInformation12. I stated earlier why I believe it should be a new article. The tornadoes, even the vermont tornadoes, were all from the same low pressure storm system. Any new ones today are a different storm system. Unless the systems were happening the same time in the country (like one in Arizona and one in Alabama) producing tornadoes at the same time, then it doesn't make since to call two different systems in the same outbreak. That is at least my opinion on it. Also the draft was premature, but as I stated that it can be speedy deleted if there isn't an outbreak. I created it as a place for the information to funnel into if there is an outbreak that starts.

That’s why I’m suggesting an outbreak SEQUENCE article, not a tornado outbreak. An outbreak sequence is defined as a series of back to back outbreaks spawned by multiple systems. That’s what is happening right now.

Question for @
MarioProtIV:. You say it is part of the old system, do you have a source for that? I am skeptical that the system from 2 days ago that was in Alabama moving East is affecting Texas now. The discussion here basically said that we would make a new article for the outbreak, so unless you have a source for that information, I would kindly ask that you revert your page moves.

The discussion here is still ongoing and there currently does not appear to be a consensus on whether to split or have an outbreak sequence article.

Either way, a page move that added today's date in had a consensus to not do that. It would be in a different article (outbreak sequence or split article).
