As a point of information, this low count comes along with an increased ability that allows us to detect just about ALL tornados in the continental US. If the “missed tornados” were somehow included in the historical counts, the current VERY low count could be even more impressive in comparison.
I thought they were adding stuff like youtube vids of 15 sec dust devils in backwards as “missed” class 1 tornadoes, and bumping up class 1 to class 2, etc., in order to generate fear and false numbers for their models?
