Yes, I agree. I think if the "first" storm had not been there and the second storm had been a lone gunman, then alot more people would have been at South Plains or southward. That's what frightened us so much, we had left that tremendous hoard of chasers only 20 minutes before and then were watching this beast churn rapidly east to the location where we assumed they all still were.
On a completely different note, we went up to take a look at the damage path and ended up talking to a guy who lives in a house the tornado went right over (~1 mile NW of South Plains). He watched it engulf his house from Hwy 207, but still offered assistance to shaken-up chasers when he still didn't even know if he had a house. It was an honor to talk to that guy; the world needs more people like that.
