We are not pretending to be a news source here. This article will get drafted into into an encyclopedic article just like any of these have. Just because an event is only a few hours old doesn't mean an encyclopedic article can not be created. Gopher backer ( talk) 04:23, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Another article is going on this. I'll work on merging them here Gopher backer ( talk) 06:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
This article urgently needs to be brought up to standards. WP:SEVERE members should know these and help to get the article up to standards. More references are urgently needed, I have put a few more in the top parts of the article, but more references are needed. Remember, No original research! Also, please do not use information from live news reports that can not be referenced. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 14:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The Atlanta tornado page should be merged into a new page for today's likely outbreak. If you know WP:SEVERE's standards, the Atlanta tornado will go under "Significant storms". As a side, looking at the damage photos, do not expect a rating anytime soon, as a Quick Response Team will probably have to come from Norman.

High risk issued. A name to start could be Mid-March 2008 tornado outbreak or March 2008 tornado outbreak with the likely hood of it being moved to Mid-March 2008 tornado outbreak sequence or March 2008 tornado outbreak sequence on Monday or Tuesday. --- CWY2190 T C 20:24, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

The format is a bit unusual right now, but I have no problem with such for now as while this round is over, it becomes a wait-and-see game - what happens next week will determine the ultimate format here.
My opinion is that if next week (starting Monday) is not a major outbreak and just isolated tornadoes (if anything), it should remain separate on its own at Tornadoes of 2008#March 17-19 (or whatever it turns out to be, the section is currently inexistant and won't be added until it happens or at least a moderate risk is issued). If it turns out to be a major outbreak, it should be added here as an outbreak sequence. CrazyC83 ( talk) 03:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Based on the doppler and a couple tornado and thunderstorm warnings, it appears that another last line of storms are heading towards Atlanta. I don't know if it will cause any damage, but it looks like there could be some 60+ mph winds in it, so the article might need some updating.

Where did that info come from? I've seen reports of two fatalities from NW Georgia outside of Atlanta, but not from this smaller tornado that hit Atlanta. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.251.4.69 ( talk) 00:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Yep, NO fatalities. "Law enforcement officials said that after an initial search, they have found no fatalities from Saturday's storms. At least 27 people were hurt Friday night, though no injuries were believed to be life-threatening." from FOX NEWS. —Preceding

The main problem with the tornado table is the Atlanta tornado. It says there were two deaths, which there weren't, and it points people to a nonexsitant section. I will go ahead and remove the two deaths unless someone else has heard otherwise. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 13:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I think a map or a diagram to show the path of the damage would be more helpful to those that aren't from the Atlanta area and for those that wish to move in the area as well. If someone can work on it once the excitement settles down a bit. -- Hourick ( talk) 18:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed the image because an edited copyrighted DeLorme map cannot be PD-self. -- 213.155.231.26 ( talk) 12:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
yes there were a lot of them including those that hit morgan county. Sonicthehedgehog200 ( talk) 21:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
