Welcome to my page! I update weather related pages, make sections for notable tornadoes, revert vandalism, and make grammar fixes. I'm also working to make, improve, and expand the older tornado pages all the way back to 1940 and the Tornado Emergencies List article as well as update and put in stats and reports from hurricanes.

		The Third Opinion Award
		I greatly appreciate you being a third opinion in a disagreement on Tornado outbreak of January 12, 2023. — Elijahandskip (talk) 07:00, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

P.S. I wanted to let you know that I fully agree on not going about the rest of the year in debates and arguments. I really wanted to go this year without any, so I’m sort of doing a “redo” of the year, asking for forgiveness to those I need to and moving on. Hopefully, we can still work together this year to improve a ton of different articles, and hopefully (fingers crossed), no more debates this entire year. Have a wonderful day!

	For your incredible work on Tornado outbreak sequence of May 19–27, 2024 and expanding multiple sections that very much needed it, including the Valley View, TX tornado which was just a couple sentences based off of preliminary reports before your expansion work. I know I've given you one of these before but you deserve this. ChrisWx 🌀 (talk - contribs) 17:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I really hope you feel better soon. COVID really sucks to deal with, it makes you feel so rough and takes so much energy out of you. Sending my healing energy and this your way:
