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 [https://wiki.aaroads.com/wiki/User:TheBNSFTracker AA Roads Wiki handle].

Progress pages
Pages I'm currently doing work on are as follows:
=Tornado Emergencies=
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.
=Tornado Sections=
Tornado sections I'm working on will go here so the sandbox can be left clear for the tornado charts.
=Tornado Pages=
{{Main|User:ChessEric/Tornado Pages}}
=Additional pages=
This is an expansion of the 2013 Hattiesburg tornado that will include all impacts from the storm system.
Something random I want to do.

{{Main|User:ChessEric/Photos I've Added}}
Personal pages
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).
This is a page I made of tornado sections that I made but were not used.
Articles I've worked on but have since been merged or omitted.

: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!
