Default Run For The Wall - Tornado Warnings

Anybody know what the thousands of bikers on the "Run For The Wall" ride are going to do with all of these Tornado Warnings coming out for this weekend? The Central and Southern route travel right through the warning areas.

Im supposed to leave CA tomorrow night for a solo ride to New York and back but I am getting nervous about these warnings.

I know of someone on the run. She hasn't mentioned the weather yet in her blog. http://jensride.wordpress.com/

Tornados are slow moving wind vortexes that travel, usually, in a straight path. They can easily be avoided, but the surrounding storms can be a seek shelter event. High winds and large hail are ride breakers, but these storms pass quickly, 30 mins. Or less.
