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. Thanks for visiting my page today!

I’m currently about to start the process of changing my username to something else. Right now my top choice is “The BNSF Tracker,” which is one of my 3 YouTube handles as well as my AA Roads Wiki handle.

• I grew up in a community just off of Guilford Road in Jessup, Maryland.
• My Grandfather was an extra in the movie Glory.
• I’m an extra in the movie Twisters.

Pages I'm currently doing work on are as follows:

This is where I will be personally working on improving the List of United States tornado emergencies article so I'm not interfering with main one.

• User:ChessEric/Emergencies

Tornado sections I'm working on will go here so the sandbox can be left clear for the tornado charts.

• User:ChessEric/Tornado Sections under construction

This is an expansion of the 2013 Hattiesburg tornado that will include all impacts from the storm system.

• User:ChessEric/February 2013 North American storm complex

Something random I want to do.

• User:ChessEric/Best college football AP poll ranking for every team

My contributions

This is the current format for the List of United States tornado emergencies and one I will update privately, since there are plans to change how the page look (see progress page above).

• User:ChessEric/TornadoEmergencies

This is a page I made of tornado sections that I made but were not used.

• ChessEric/Unused Tornado Sections
• User:ChessEric/Unused Tornado Sections

Articles I've worked on but have since been merged or omitted.

	ChessEric, I cannot express my gratitude for your continuous and tireless edits to Hurricane Laura, 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Marco (2020), Hurricane Isaias, Hurricane Isaias tornado outbreak, and various tornado outbreak/tornado articles. You truly deserve this barnstar, probably the first of many. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 01:52, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

		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:
