IDOLCheck is built by HailyAI. Every storm event, magnitude, radar snapshot, and date on this page
is deterministic — retrieved directly from official NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), and Storm
Prediction Center (SPC) storm records through HailyAPI and displayed exactly as reported.
Quoted warning and report text is always attributed to its official source. Where the surrounding
