Mob ruining Storm Chasing

Storm chasing has turned into a business/guided tour last few years plus others joining in the chase for tornadoes and maybe getting the footage

that media will pay cash for. Out in tornado alley when the tornadoes are forecasted the traffic chasing the tornadoes are many in numbers driving

fast in hail/rain/poor visibility on county/country roads getting in each others way and in each pictures/video. Still remember the Kelley Williamson

and Randy meeting their end at a crossroads in Texas running a stop sign. The recent UP Big Boy 4014 run from Cheyenne to Ogden and back

turned the Wyoming highways into clogged with railfans chasing the steam train to the point of ridiculous. Very few pictures of UP 4014's run that

doesn't have others in your picture. A "Mob of railfans". I think it would be fun riding along in a tornado chase. Just have to fly to Oklahoma first.

"Snippy" remembers and didn't know who either of them was until the news about their tragic demise.
