EF4 tornado
Hello, I noticed that your edit on February 2025 North American storm complex stated that the tornado in California was an EF4. The tornado was EF1, as verified from the source. I'm guessing you made this claim in error as a typo; please be careful when adding tornado ratings in the future, as they are prone to being viewed as vandalism or otherwise greatly exaggerating impact.

Wheelwright is a city in the U.S. state of Kentucky. Located at the southern end of Floyd County, the land that would later become the city was originally owned by the Hall family. In 1916, the family sold their land to the Elk Horn Coal Company, which established a post office and named it Wheelwright in honor of its president, Jere Wheelwright. It was incorporated as a city in 1917. The Elk Horn Coal Company founded the city as a company town, and built houses, stores, churches, schools, and hospitals, which were used by miners employed by the company. In 1930, Wheelwright was sold to the Inland Steel Company, which in turn sold the city to the Island Creek Coal Company in 1966. In the 1970s, the mine closed and the city was purchased by the Kentucky Housing Corporation. This 1946 photograph, taken by the American photographer Russell Lee, shows Harry Fain, a coal loader from Wheelwright who worked for the Inland Steel Company. The photograph is in the collection of the National Archives and Records Administration. Photograph credit: Russell Lee; restored by Kentuckian

Query about other accounts
Hi, Kentuckian. My name is Tamzin. One thing I do on Wikipedia is look into cases where accounts have interacted in unusual ways. Before you make any further edits, could you please go to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kentuckian and, under the heading "Comments by other users", say whether you know either of the two other users mentioned there, and, if so, whether you asked them to participate in Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/February 2025 § (Closed) Flash flooding in eastern United States? This isn't a gotcha or a trick question. I just want your honest answer. Thanks. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 03:30, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
