The point is that for events of this class, we're not just "testing more often" as the person I replied to suggested. We do collect more data and can make more sophisticated models from that data, but the big stuff is a bit like seeing a thundercloud on the horizon and hasn't materially changed for all that tech.

For thunderstorms on the horizon, we have tornado warnings. We also know if the thunderstorms belong to a hurricane since we can track them and somewhat predict their track.
