Niagara Falls illuminated at night

Hiya, welcome to my userpage! I'm Tails Wx, though all refer me as Tails. I'm a two-tailed fox from Hedgehog Village who normally edits weather-related articles and other miscellaneous areas, including events and biographies, such as 2023 New York City parking garage collapse or Paul Pavelka. When I'm not writing or improving articles, I usually use AntiVandal for countervandalism, sometimes review GAs, and often go to WP:ITN to...improve more articles for them to appear on the Main Page, I guess.

Off Wikipedia, I'm a storm chaser and passionate about weather. Additionally, I'm a tennis player, and a violaist based in Bloomington, Indiana – Hoo-Hoo-Hoo Hoosiers! (In the words of Pat McAfee.)

For those wondering, my guestbook is here, and I have two alternate accounts: Tails Wx1 and Tails Wx9.

Notable stuff I've done or attended:

• May 26, 2024 – Chased EF2 tornado near Washington, Indiana
• October 5–6, 2024 – Attended WikiConference North America 2024 in Indianapolis
