(Note: article title is now 2011 Cordova–Blountsville tornado). @EF5: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Multiple paragraphs in the tornado summary section lack inline citations, presumably ones already being used in other paragraphs. Hook facts check out, though ALT0 reads a bit blandly right now. I'd like to see some reworded hooks, such as these, and would like feedback once you fix the missing inline cites: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:49, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- ALT1a... that Cordova, Alabama, was hit by two tornadoes on the same day, the second of which was on the ground for more than two hours?

@Sammi Brie: Done. ALT1a actually looks perfect. E_F⁵ 21:51, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see the inline cites are fixed. (Having reviewed tornadoes at GAN, I just figured it was a need for extra citations to the tornado summary etc.) We should be good to go as the hook facts check out. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:15, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a different title

I'm not too keen on this title, since it could refer to a number of tornadoes in the same outbreak, including the 2011 Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado. Perhaps 2011 Cordova–Blountsville tornado? TornadoLGS (talk) 22:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, why not, seems logical enough. I don't believe this tornado was ever commonly "named", just a slew of "Cullman County" and "Cordova". E_F⁵ 22:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
