[edit] Overhaul Needed

This article is good as is but needs a major expansion and diversification. At present this article deals only with summer severe weather and uses a very narrow definition and does not support a global perspective. I will expand it to include all types of severe weather and sub-phenomenon including winter weather. I will also throw some of my picture on the commons showing storm damage or severe weather and put them in the article. Theonlysilentbob (talk) 07:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The British Red Cross list some useful tips for being prepared for severe weather, and highlight not only the environmental impact, but also the human one. It would be great for this aspect to be covered in the expansion and diversification too. Bradman1981 (talk) 13:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Please make sure in the expansion to keep it away from such topics as heavy rain or extremely cold temperatures. Before it was given an overhaul to get it to its present state, all there was was a very long list of any weather that could ever make a human uncomfortable outdoors.
