Severe Weather Threat 4/25-4/26, 2024 - (Thursday, Friday)

Good call by NWS Omaha, and goes to show how thorough they were. Upgrade took a little over three months, but better late than never I suppose.

A case of reanalysis being done right.

Makes me a little annoyed that offices like NWS Lincoln whiffing the Robinson tornado rating. Sure they went back and upgraded at least to 165mph but that was on structures already surveyed and not the ones they ignored completely and therefore far too late to upgrade the thing appropriately.

At least in the case of 2024, most tornadoes have been rated as accurately as possible with todays scale.

Better, but a long ways from perfect.

It has been ok for tornado ratings this season. I do feel a few other tornadoes could have been rated EF4 but other than that it wasn't too bad.

One of the homes rated EF4 now was…originally rated mid range EF2…

NWS Louisville Kentucky take notes.

This is a reference to bowling green btw….the infamous swept brick bolted duplex rated EF2…
