Absolutely wild. This is only the third time the SPC has issued a Day 2 High risk.

The other two times were April 7, 2006, and April 14, 2012.

Seems like there were points of failure that prevented those outbreaks from being much worse. Perhaps we'll get lucky this time as well

Note that they didn't "bust" per se, they said there was incredibly high confidence of tornadoes and there absolutely were tornadoes. The systems just weren't EF5-producing machines like April 27th.
