According to the ZoomRadar Storm Chaser map one of those involved is a prominent storm chaser who has been featured on the WeatherChannel. It matches almost exactly with the highway numbers in this article. The map is showing the vehicle of Kelly Williamson's vehicle sitting just off the side of the road at the intersection. Hopefully, I'm wrong because I have watch Mr. Williamson's reports on the Weatherchannel and have watched some of his storm chasing on the Storm Chaser Map.
