Just saw a pic of a newish construction house in Bremen, KY with the foundation wiped clean and ground scouring visible from the air.

Any recent death numbers of note?

Look how the warnings shut down when hitting the Marginal Risk area.

The radar loop is over a 12-hour period - I’m sure the outlook was updated at some point…

That outlook is essentially the same as the first upgrade to Moderate that was made early yesterday:

It didn't change much, if any, after that.

One might be assume they account for that various ways, no?

I haven't seen/heard an official death total so far, but the best guess I have seen is at least 86 with most of those being in Kentucky.
I've seen some reports on Twitter of people still missing. One I saw was a member of a family that has already had multiple family members found dead and identified. One is still missing. They were from Florida on vacation at a resort/cabin deal.

Well looking at that map, you can’t say the meteorologists whiffed. That was dead on target. Also question for metereology baws, is the pink high risk ever used or is that reserved for like doomsday situations?

High risk is for when you expect an outbreak of tornados or think there will be widespread 70+ winds from a line of storms.
By outbreak, I mean they think multiple tors of last night's quality are going to form. 4/27/11 being the obvious example.

Yeah, High Risk is used more often than you'd think. A couple times a year on average, I'd imagine.
I once counted how many high risk days I've actually been in. I can't remember the total, but it is too fricking many. North AL seems to average one a year.

Duke, curious to hear your answer on this. What part of the country are you surprised by that doesn’t have tornadoes for usually being associated with having tornadoes?
I would pick central Texas (Austin/San Antonio). Seems like Texas gets their fair share of tornadoes, especially west Texas and the DFW area but for some reason not so many touch down in the hill country (Central Texas).

You baws around here who are looking to get into the public-service meteorology field, remember this. Take it to heart that it will always "Hit without warning....". You will always question whether you did enough. The one thing that I have learned on my short time on this rock is that Nature always wins. Every person you can save is a win against the greatest of adversaries. It is an endless battle; just do the best that you can. We appreciate it.
For what it’s worth, I felt like local weather media did a good job of warning. We knew about the potential line days ahead of time and especially 24 hours beforehand they were pressing the severity.
I’m not sure what else they could have done. I’m old enough to remember when we didn’t even have that kind of warning.
