August 21[edit]

An F3 tornado killed 6 and injured 56 in Neoga, Illinois. I've got some sourced material mentioning this http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com/tornado/19770821.17.30 and you can see this on the map. I'm going to make this change and add this to the article, but because I don't have a user account, I'll just say, if anyone wants to revert my edit, feel free.--73.135.139.61 (talk) 19:19, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how reliable the source I've given is or if the F3 Neoga, Illinois tornado on August 21 is notable enough to be included here. As I mentioned before, I don't have a user account so I would like for someone else to confirm whether this is a reliable source and a notable enough event to be included here.--73.135.139.61 (talk) 20:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Number of fatalities in the United States[edit]

The infobox said 28 fatalities, but that's not possible because the April 1977 Birmingham tornado killed 22 people, with an additional fatality in Lindale, Georgia from a separate tornado. I just changed it to what the source says, which is 43 fatalities.--67.162.231.34 (talk) 23:46, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
