But yeah I think what Brice Wood meant is that it's ultimately up to the survey team to decide what rating a tornado gets. I don't think he meant to say we should never question survey teams.It sounds like he was saying that because it was an NWS survey team, the tornado deserved to be rated EF4. My point being is that there are often mistakes made (and in some cases, quite egregious ones) made by NWS survey teams that inconsistently apply the EF-scale.
