Mismatches between title and content

[edit]
  • A substantial section is about a tornado (Pforzheim Tornado in Germany) without any mention of related flood
  • Floods in July and September are both mentioned and seem to be separate events so maybe "Floods of 1968" might be closer to a good title

Also it is not clear just what event(s) was/were referred to as the "Great Flood" - the references seem to be to several local names such as this. FrankSier (talk) 01:34, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this page is unfortunately a single entity when it probably should be two. The trouble I think was when I thought about it which was "the great flood of 1968"? I think certainly an article titled something like "Chew Stoke/Chew Valley flood 1968" would be preferable, but would leave a very short stub article for the September flood. The Pforzheim tornado is a related meteorological development to the July flooding, which I will try and clarify, time permitting, in future.Lacunae (talk) 20:02, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
