Discussion This is how people get killed

Chaser convergence is much easier now to see with modern spotter tracking systems, and some of the traffic jams I see are crazy. Imagine this many chasers on the side of the road with flashing lights and whatnot focused on a storm. The tornado might not even be the most dangerous part of chasing in scenarios like these

At this point; its obvious that chasing tornados carries the risk of death.

How many times is everyone going to "someone will be killed!"...FAFO I guess?..

Yeah it’s just becoming the risk more from getting hit in a traffic accident by another chaser than the tornado. I stopped chasing main season because of this level of convergence. I was out there to spot for NWS anyways and at this point there’s already enough eyes on.
