That's a good thing. It means they know their job is reporting available information that has been checked for accuracy. They left damage assessment to the professionals. I wish Pam Cross on Boston Channel 5 had done that many years ago when she declared of damage in the Lakes Region that the NWS may have determined it to be a microburst, but she sure thought it was a tornado. The on-air meteorologist (and I can't even remember who it was because I was busy putting my hair out which had suddenly burst into flames) was much kinder than I ever would have been, but he definitely put her in her place.
