On the East Coast, it’s not just that there is a higher population to observe storm damage reports, it’s that the landscape itself is loaded with low threshold damage indicators. Trees fail well below severe criteria, often under 58 mph, yet every downed limb or uprooted tree still becomes a “wind damage report.” So when people point to “hundreds of reports” to justify a 60 percent MDT verification, it starts to fall apart under scrutiny. You’re not measuring event intensity in a consistent way, you’re measuring how easy it is to produce reports. Compare that to more prolific wind events like the June 20, 2025 Dakota MCS, which produced objectively stronger and more widespread severe winds but logged far fewer reports simply because the damage indicators and population density were not there. At that point, using raw storm report counts as validation for a forecast stops being as meaningful a metric. It reflects reporting bias and environmental differences as much as it reflects the actual meteorology.

Here is precisely the best way to nearly die in a tornado. Sheltering in a chicken farm structure in dixie against a wedge that previously did EF4 damage and taking the strongest segment of the tornado. Credit to Mando Cruz on Tiktok for the footage. This structure was rated 140.
