The roads are so jam packed with tornado chasers that it's not worth it.
FWIW, I was at a Skywarn meeting and the guy from the NWS confirmed this.

Ooooo....that was a wonderful video. I got a scap of that beautiful purple ginger bloom.
And another of Scott when he was kicking the big beachballs for the boyz.
When the chasers start talking about the rotating wall clouds, we’ll now “see” it in high speed. LOL!
Mine is a scap of the anthurium pit. Pretty contrast with the red anthurium and purple ginger.
No scaps of Scott with the boyz. It was fun to watch but nothing I wanted to scap.
I do wish the storm chasers had something worthy of chasing so I could get scaps of their storms. Been a bit quiet lately.
Yeah, I check them periodically and there’s no one on.
Jeff whatshisname had a Scope or a tornado from Tulsa the other night but it was too dark to see what the heck he was talking about.
I’ve checked on them a few times, too, but no one was on.
There’ll probably be a few in FL if TS Dorian looks like it will get close.
THis is nothing like the videos of YouTuber Pecos Hank.
Very beautiful and impressive.
Thanks for posting.

I have been in 2 tornados over the past 30 years living in Kansas. The first one on March 13, 1990 drove me into a cellar with strangers south of Hutchinson. This was the famous F5 Hesston tornado. The university building I was in took a direct hit in June 2008. Fortunately, myself and seven other people took shelter in a meat locker/classroom. When it hit, my ears popped. Just two weeks ago, I drove through a wall cloud heading north back to Manhattan. Yes, it was stupid but I wanted to get home. Not bragging but I beg to differ w you. Tornados are terrifying and not meant to be screwed with.
I’ve noticed crowds along the roads when watching livestreams of stormchasers, though most of the guys I follow seem to avoid the crush. They’ve never run into anything like that pic. That is insane!!!!
We’ve had two tornados here at the farm - one in 2011 and one last November. Thankfully the house wasn’t hit but we had a LOT of tree damage and the 2011 tornado ripped the roof off the tractor shed.
No way I’d storm chase here because there are too many trees and hills but I’d do it in a heartbeat out where it’s flat for miles. :-)
Very cool. Thanks.
weather is awesome... Thanks!
All that rolling and tumbling explains how tornadoes sometimes develop.

I especially like the title:
