Something to look forward to.  Thought I had used up the free trial already, but have downloaded GRL2.  Have to manually add the site data - but simple enough.  Anyone interested it's on the GRLX site.

Not willing to give it up yet. Plenty of severe warnings out. Another hour or so yet!

Given we seen an EF4 (will always be argue able it was an EF5) in Cookeville a few weeks ago and they were barely in a 2% risk could be a storm season full of surprises.

On the EF scale yes

The Enhanced Fujita Scale provides an estimated range of a tornado's wind speeds, based on the tornado's damage.

but they have so many things that go into the storm surveys which is probably why we rarely see EF5’s which as I mentioned the Cookeville tornado probably could have been https://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/ef-scale.html
