All it would take is a sudden change in track or new tornado formation for it to suddenly look like rush hour in a construction zone and the lead story on the 6:00 news is the number of deaths of chasers. The thing is that there is nothing that can be done to stop everybody and their brother from going out. They are on public roads and as long as they are obeying traffic laws all you can do is mutter under your breath.

Sadly, it's true, and one horrible day this is going to happen. Will undoubtedly ruin it for everyone.
