100.12.36.99's first edits in the last two years was to nominate Elizabeth Leitman for deletion. Majority of their edits in 2022 were weather-related plus an edit on Long Island City (NYC, where Andrew5 is located). Coincidentally, I started this article and Andrew5's latest IPs went on a shpeal about several articles (all of which I started) needing to be deleted. Both this AfD request and the one tried for 2022 Pembroke–Black Creek tornado were posted on Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion coincidentally a day apart. 174.216.209.32's only edit was to PROD that article. In fact, 174.216.209.32's PROD is the exact same and idential AfD reasoning that 100.12.36.99 put out. Also coincidentally, both of these IPs started edited mere hours after Andrew5 was blocked on 3 IPs. I feel confident on a DUCK report for 100.12.36.99, however, 174.216.209.32 was listed more for future reference of being suspected Andrew5.

First edit since 2011 started with “As per usual, WeatherWriter is endlessly yapping” and on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2023 Little Rock tornado, where Andrew5 was already blocked once this month. Easy DUCK confirmation. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 14:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First edit in 3 years was to revert a strikethrough of a comment by a blocked Andrew5 IP (the other one reported today). Easy DUCK ban. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:07, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only edit in 2024 was to restore Andrew5 SOCK content. DUCK block requested on the IP. User:Colorado is not New York WeatherWriter was added for CU review. The account is currently perm blocked due to username violation, however, this is almost certainly Andrew5 due to what the username is.
