Pretty much. Even if it didn’t increase the wind speeds, it still blocks the highway - people will start parking and climbing up 5 or 10 minutes before the tornado might arrive and it creates a cascade effect, plus blocks the roads for emergency crews.
You see it a lot in some of the more modern videos of chases, and that’s before we really got into the chasing-as-reality-show phenomenon that …well, let’s just say this is not one of those “filled with glory” chapters.
