5. Humans were on top of these. They were very well forecasted and warned. NWS saved many many lives

Most of the injuries so far were from the trailer park. Trailer parks and night time tornadoes don't mix at all. And I'll note, I'm getting sick of people (not you) blaming the NWS for a lack of warnings. They're slashed down to a skeleton crew nationwide, especially away from large population centers. There are many offices that have 1-2 people working when they usually had 10-15. They're literally closed at night because of staffing cuts. Its insane.
