Quote "Tornado Reports aren't tornadoes.
The problem is the official tally of tornadoes comes out months after the day they occur, and because many of the reports turn out to be bogus, or multiple reports of the same tornado, it often results in a total actual number of tornadoes 1/3rd or 1/4th of the "reports."
Actually that is false.
It is much closer to 80% or so...and sometimes it is actually more than what shows up on the initial reports.
MOST of the tornadoes today have been REPORTED ON THE GROUND.
So the numbers are not only accurate but are way behind at this point.
It's not false. Many of the days this spring with wildly overhyped tornado totals in the Midwest had upwards of 7-8 SPC "reports" that people were counting as individual tornadoes that were clearly one tornado.
Each individual day and location of an outbreak is different; you can have an individual day somewhere where it ends up as a 20% reduction, but by and large the true reduction is a LOT more.
