Um..NWS Grand Forks just altered their official path of the 2010 Almora, MN EF4 tornado and added new tornadoes from that event based on Nick K’s findings…
Hmm, what happened the “ban” on records changes? It’s almost like it doesn’t exist in any official capacity, almost like it’s a statement that WFOs can throw out there any time they are proven wrong but don’t want to change anything. What’s the term for that…hmmmmm uh “lying to people” I think it’s called???
In all seriousness, that is so ridiculous. This just motivates me to double down and carry on with my own personal research. I can’t interpret this any other way besides WFOs finding new creative ways to dodge accountability, and side step any attempt to set the record straight amid the growing influx of “armchair” tornado damage researchers as they bring forth more and more evidence of the NWS getting things wrong. It seems they have a created a blanket statement to shoo away amateur tornado event/damage researchers when they do anything that rocks the boat or challenges the official record. The takeaway? Don’t back down, and keep working on getting info out there that promotes truth and accuracy, even if it’s not “official”. Sorry but this one has me heated big time. It really sounds like the records change ban is a big fat lie.
