why don't they ever issue PNSs or updated LSRs?

Not report related but that tornado touched down twenty minutes after I went by that airport.

Also not report related, but since I chased yesterday, I thought I'd pitch in. We were a tad north of Salem approximately 3 pm headed south for that NWS confirmed tornado cell, before we had a slight accident that pushed us back a couple of hours. Report shows 4 pm touchdown. Distance 31 miles. :?

Interesting reports that came inn from SE MO, after nightfall.

I believe we made some calls around the area on Friday and were unable to confirm the tornado in Piatt County.
