Comment: This article has a complex history; first created by a weather community regular as a copy-paste from the outbreak article in draftspace, then further copy-paste edited and moved to mainspace by sockpuppets, before being the subject of a four-times-relisted-yet-no-consensus AFD, then draftified and deleted. However, the article in its current state has no input from sockpuppet accounts and is the first earnest incarnation of this article.
