It's just a matter of time before this plays out in a tragic event. It's coming.

I almost got trapped on 141 and I-70 on Wednesday due to this situation developing again in the STL metro. There was no hail, only a tornado warning. I know everyone is gun-shy after May 16th but was a little surprised to see that the message hadn't apparently been received at all (local media really did a good job of chiding the ones who blocked I-170 during the May 16 tornado).
A generous laying on of the horn and flashing high beams got them to move, thankfully. Any tornado would have been to my west, but I had no visual and certainly didn't want to get stuck.
One thing I do see when chasing in a big city is that during a tornado warning, there is a bit of "every man for himself, there are no rules" so you just don't know what people are going to do when they think they are in survival mode. That's probably going to be pronounced here for a long time until the May 16 effect wears off.
