- ... that debris lofted by tornadoes has been known to rise over 6 km (3.7 mi) into the atmosphere and can be transported up to 353 km (219 mi) away?
- Reviewed:
- Comment: The height range for the Super Outbreak was 5.5 to 6.5 kilometres, so I went with the figure of 6.0. Probably one of the most interesting tornado science-related topics that exists.

I am afraid I have concerns here related to article size. Only 100 words are in the prose section, which also doubles as the lead and is just a single paragraph. Then the rest of the article is a list of events grouped under 'notable events', which, a) is in the bullet point format (and thus not counted by the prose size checker), and b) is problematic - notable according to whom? This is a list with no clear criteria. Overall, I am afraid this article is just too short for a DYK - it does not have a lead section. Please ping me if this is expanded to at least have 250 words of non-bulleted prose, and I'll comment here again. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- If I transformed the "Notable Events" section into a reworded "History section" then would it count as prose and be accepted? Departure– (talk) 18:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
The current expansion makes the length ok now (other issues are ok too). What to do about 'notable events' section is, frankly, something I am not sure. It's a very incomplete history. Maybe rename it to 'examples', which would remove the 'notable according to whom' wording, and leave it as it is now? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:52, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
