Re: Fixes and Scoring

Thanks for the fix.  I'm not so sure that it didn't move past outlooks themselves, but that's a minor issue.  For example, my last outlook for April 4 I know was south of the Mississippi coast.  While the tornado report was moved north to the coast, my outlook box was also moved north to not include the entire land area of the state.  Again, minor issue, but if it's fixed for future outlooks, then I won't complain too much.

I don't use the Unisys maps.  I have seen them on there, and looked at them, but I don't use them at all.  I generate my outlook area based on different places I look at (I weigh heavily on the SREF I told you about earlier) and have that in mind before I go to this site to draw an outlook.  Also, if the pick-points aren't exactly correct, that's no big deal either as I have been manually altering the coordinates to correct for this when I do the outlook.  So don't worry about that, at least for me.

I've encountered at least one such outlook myself that you mention with a tornado on the other side of the country, notably one in which there was a weak tornado in Oregon (tornadoes here in the Pacific Northwest are rare and always weak!) and I got a high dst missed score.  Disregarding a certain number or percentage or tornadoes may fix that issue, but may cause other issues (?).  I've had some thoughts about scoring change proposals as I've gone through this, but I'll have to remember what they were.  Many of them though were "this doesn't seem right; I'll have to think of a way to make this make more sense" - so that I didn't have a specific change yet in mind.
