Claims analyzed

People mistake bull snakes for rattlesnakes because they're dumb — Opinion (50/100)

Calling people 'dumb' for the common bull-vs-rattlesnake mix-up is harsh — it's a legit visual similarity.

Jody the dog stared at the 2010 Campo tornado — Personal Story (55/100)

Adorable story, zero way to confirm the dog's reaction.

Derecho four days later spawned EF2 tornadoes in upper Midwest — OK (60/100)

The derecho happened, but "swarm of burritos" is clearly a running joke, not a claim.

1376 tornadoes in 2021 caused over 100 deaths, worst since 2011 — OK (60/100)

Numbers line up with official tallies but the 'over a hundred' is vague — actual count was 103.
