The @WXFatalities Research Project has so far been fairly successful. Since the launch of it in August 2022, several very key results have been found along the lines of "Media Lag" and how it can be combated, including several 90%+ results, even for major, widespread disasters [i.e. Hurricane Ian's 13-day 'Media Lag' duration being a 100% verification]. Since then, it has also become a widely trusted academic source regarding weather-related fatalities. Numerous media outlets (American and international), TV-stations and broadcasters, along with meteorological experts, and even citation in peer-reviewed academic publication. Unfortunately, two very recent, back-to-back events led to misinformation being published by the WXFatalities Project. This is bad because not only is it spreading wrong information to tens of thousands of people, but these two back-to-back events also lose credibility for the research. Media Lag, by nature, means all sources should be taken into account and documented. They will continue to be documented for the research. However, not all of those sources need to be shared via this public account. Therefore, starting today, the following sources will no longer be considered for any future WXFatalities Publications on this X account as a standalone source: -Emergency Broadcast Scanners -Storm Chasers, including those engaged in active/real-time S&R [This includes "Professional" storm chasers, due to multiple "Professionals" being the root cause of the latest misinformation]. -A specific media broadcaster and their publications (unnamed for this post). August 2022-May 6, 2026, publications & subsequent Media Lag research involve all sources. All future publications (started as of May 7, 2026) will no longer involve those sources above. This will also help sort out and possibly determine if there are any clear misinformation links that help drive aspects of Media Lag in the United States. Thank you for your attention. I apologize directly for both false reports published by this account in the last month.
