A classic move people do to reply to messages when they actually cannot help or talk. This can be email or a text telling the person who had reached out that they would reply back but cannot because of some lame excuse. People often wait and only reply either hours, days or weeks later, when they are in no position to really answer or reply. This is really common and quite insulting as the reply is a joke, not sincere and really lame. Easy to see right thru most people that do this.
I finally heard back days later from my text to a friend, saying they could not talk because they are getting on a plane for a trip. They waited days before replying and only answered with a insincere response the moment they could no longer be able to talk.

In accordance with NWS policy, these teams include wind engineering experts to help ensure accurate ratings for high-end events. They are requested by local NWS offices through their respective regional headquarters, which include the Western Region (WRH), Central Region (CRH), Southern Region (SRH), and Eastern Region (ERH).
A regional NWS Quick Response Team (QRT) determined that this was an EF4 tornado, with a well-constructed home being swept clean from its slab and its debris broken into small pieces and carried 50 to 200 yards.
