Part doppler related, part greater comfort issuing.  

And these unusually potent late fall severe weather patterns in recent years.

Tuesday's swarm of tornadoes in parts of the Northeast set an October record in Pennsylvania. It was the state's most tornadic day in over 20 years.

Cape Cod is a fun summertime vacation destination, and the weather is usually turning increasingly wintry this time of year. Tuesday, the Cape looked more like Oklahoma than New England as several tornadoes tore through Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

At least three tornadoes seem likely to have touched down. It’s a region that doesn’t see many twisters any time of year, and this is as late as they come in Southern New England.

Interesting regarding the Long Island tornadoes yesterday (note the tweet incorrectly says CT instead of NY).

The analogs and Enhanced Fujita  scale probabilities are based on the radar signature.
 

Note that only six of the 34 tornadoes observed on LI between 1950 and 2020 were F2, with no F3 ever observed.  Before yesterday, there has never been a Nov tornado observed on LI dating back to 1950:

This event in Nov last year was a squall line with embedded microbursts (no confirmed tornadoes), but reflects the same pattern you mentioned:

Another one from late Oct 2019 with very widespread reports of severe wind gusts in the mid-Atlantic/NE along a squall line, along with several tornadoes:

We can probably benefit from normalizing.in the historic database.

Tor Emergency first used 1999.  

Reports_ Concerted effort by NWS offices to verify warnings using all sorts of data sources, with social media contributions in recent years likely adding to the recent counts.

TOR eval techniques improved, including use of building construction, and Doppler data to the strength values. 

Perspective-normalized would help.

Check out the above:  IF that's what we recorded in Nov 1989 (without doppler/without social media)...  It happens... just more attention now with increased voracious media coverage through social media.

Disagree. It’s not like we have not had cameras and video cameras for the past 30 years…
