Fictitious Indeed
I would like to point out that the user that created the tornado outbreak page that was deleted, has a history of creating fictitious information. For example, he would assign ratings to tornadoes himself, during a time in which tornadoes were assigned no ratings, making it totally subjective. He also for no apparent listed the Rehobeth, Massachusetts tornado death toll at 38 when it was really 0, as well as assigning it an F3 rating when there was no evidence of that. The article that was deleted DID contain fictitious tornadoes, especially in Alabama. 1 tornado took place in Alabama that day, and he listed about 20. He listed an F5 tornado that destroyed Prattville, Alabama and killed 128. Such an event never happened. This guy simply likes to "write his own history" if you will. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharkguy05 (talk • contribs) 04:22, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks for your response, which I really appreciate. What struck me was the possibility that these fictions were constructed upon some verifiable incidents, apparently powerful storms that struck Georgia at the time. Cheers, 99.12.242.7 (talk) 14:03, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
