And there you have it. At least a dozen tornadic supercells in an STP bullseye of 9, smack dab in the center of an SPC High Risk. We can stop complaining now, or rejoice, or just appreciate the NWS.

A 2024 NBER study, “The Social Value of Hurricane Forecasts,” found recent advancements in hurricane forecasting led to a 19% reduction in hurricane-related costs--an average cost reduction of $5 billion per hurricane. It's import to keep funding research!
