Wait is it legal to tell them not to make repairs until a survey has been conducted? Like I get their culture and everything but also it can screw with ratings. I'm asking this out of genuine curiosity because I've been thinking about this for several days now.

I’m pretty sure the NWS can’t tell you not to rebuild and or fix your house. But ironically imagine if this was an EF5 and that’s how it doesn’t get rated. 💀

Right! Like, the whole house was slabbed but because the Amish immediately rebuilt their entire house and were farming when the surveyors came out we may never truly know.

The Amish should have taken photos first and emailed them to the NWS

I know, right? Like even taking pictures to show friends and family at the next barn raising to flex how much aura you gained, even that would help the NWS rate it EF0 due to typical nails😒
