I don't want to drag this out either, but I'll at least answer.
No, this was not a bust, but it was an under-performer. I'd say there is a difference between those two things. This has been my opinion all along, I did not say the moderate was a bust at any point, and if you read through all my previous posts (if they aren't deleted), you'll see I used the word bust only once, to describe the 2017 events. The wording I used was "not reaching its ceiling of potential" or "unperformer". With the very real potential for multiple well organized, well spaced supercells capable of producing violent tornadoes as far south as the Bham metro not being realized yesterday, saying this event did not reach its ceiling is not inaccurate . So with that said, I stand by my original statements, but it did end up being a little nastier than I initially thought after the storm mode fully went to crap, so I'll give you that.
With the exception of Jacksonville, this reminded of one of the many 2017 Dixie events where the direction of the surface winds was possibly questionable, though it was not expected to put a major damper on the threat, yet ended up doing exactly that (though I realize other factors such as COD came into play with at least one 2017 bust). It should also be noted that despite the veered profile in Florida today, strong tornado potential was still mentioned in the discussion. No tornadoes were reported at all, and the event played out in a very similar manner to January 22, 2017, when a veered profile seems to have prevented a "cleaner" storm mode and low level rotation in an otherwise highly volatile environment. My take-away is that veering may not be the kiss of death in Dixie, but i'm not convinced it doesn't at least have some negative effect.
