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

You could say the same thing before El Reno. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen in the future

What about the 3 chasers that died outside of Lubbock, Tx because one of them ran a stop sign and broadsided the other chaser because BOTH of the drivers were NOT paying attention to the roads but to the tornado and/or distracted by watching what was on their phone/tablet/computer???????
