That's not at all how government agencies work. It wouldn't be anything at all like simple or straight-forward to do something like that.NWS is part of the government, they could snap their fingers and add another three letter sub-agency.
It is like seriously people even we could go out there and give you a decent estimate on how strong or violent the tornado was. I would gladly survey it if I could.I'll repeat what @buckeye05 said about NWS Memphis regarding New Wren and Holly Springs because I think it fits NWS Lincoln perfectly in this situation:
"If they don’t really care, they should at least consult someone who does."
Wow, I was comparing the Robinson/Sullivan tornado flyover with the Andover 1991 fly over. There was some difference and I don’t think this tornado was quite as strong as the Andover 1991 F5 tornado but I certainly believe it was a mid to high-end EF4 tornado based on the most intense damage.100%.
I don’t know if this is a situation where Mets or folks at that WFO just don’t want to do field work or don’t want to put in long days over a week, but if they’re going to be apathetic then create a division of folks that will do this full time. NWS is part of the government, they could snap their fingers and add another three letter sub-agency.
Are all the ratings finalized now? If so that above is infuriating, who the hell in the upper levels are reviewing these and being like “oh well, that’s okay”
It also doesn't explain why the farmsteads swept away next to the technical college weren't surveyed, especially since the technical college itself was surveyed and is on the DAT, yet they couldn't bother to go literally across the street where a two story house was leveled. Less than a quarter mile down the road another farmstead was swept away including the farmhouse, with wind rowed debris.Also, the road flooding doesn't explain the lack of damage points in that subdivision just south of Robinson. As Andy pointed out, a home was completely leveled on North White Tail Hollow Rd. The survey doesn't mention that, and only describes EF1-EF2 damage trees, power poles, and manufactured homes in this area. What an absolute joke of a damage survey.
I am to the point to whether i should be angry with these people or laugh at them.Now there's no direct evidence to suggest that it was intentionally botched imo, but it was at least a very lazy half-baked survey. It's easy to confuse incompetence and apathy with purposeful misdirection imo.
I don't think they had it out for the homeowners or anything in that vein (lol?), but they clearly didn't care enough to conduct a proper damage survey and it shows greatly.Now there's no direct evidence to suggest that it was intentionally botched imo, but it was at least a very lazy half-baked survey.

Nope. Working for the government, they enjoy making even the simplest thing become the most complicated thing ever. That's not at all how government agencies work. It wouldn't be anything at all like simple or straight-forward to do something like that.
That did happen.I don’t know about NWS Lincoln, but I thought I had read that NWS Memphis was going to work with Birmingham and Jackson for their surveys. Did that not happen? I haven’t been keeping up because April is always a super busy month for me at work (inspections, mid-year financial reviews/requests, etc..).
