I would think that as a dispatcher I would get chewed for saying that I stopped the BNSF Transcon for a tornado warning or some other severe weather event. I would think if that was done nothing would ever move some evenings in Kansas and Oklahoma. I work in a open campus office complex and nothings changes when a tornado warning is issued, we stay at our desks or in our meetings and go about our business.

They were showing live video and it looked like the wall cloud was really close to producing a tornado. Could have even been a funnel, but I couldn't quite tell. It also looked like it was right over a spot where I have watched trains before. lol.
