Can't argue with you guys here, it does indeed say it was an EF4. However, all official damage surveys and rating sites still indicate it was an EF3, so maybe it was a typo from the guys over at NCEI when writing that 2023 summary report. So, while the EF4 rating is given directly to this event, I'm hesitant to update it with just this. Mjeims (talk) 15:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NWS Lubbock reports that it is a typo on NCEI's part via Twitter/X.

I believe this outbreak should have an article. There are multiple reasons for this. First, there were 32 tornadoes in total. Also, 6 were EF2 and 2 were, EF3. Second, it mainly occured in a populated area. Some tornadoes impacted cities in the OKC area. Third, the forecast was only calling for a couple tornadoes. The tornado watch for the area gave a 40% chance for tornadoes and a 20% chance for a strong tornado. Finally, it occurred from a complex of storms rather than a few discrete supercells. Usually, the main risk with multicellular storms is hail and wind, not tornadoes. With this in mind, what do you all think about this having an article? Note: I forgot to mention this resulted in 2 deaths, 188 injuries and $1.9 billion in damage, making it more significant. Unbannable user (talk) 16:50, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
