I hear there are going to be a hundred police cars on duty and cruising the surrounding St. Louis area, paddy wagons, tow trucks, helicopters, Predator drones, surveillance satellites, and St. Charles County has deputized Chuck Norris.

No, I won't be going.

ST. LOUIS • Drivers have reported huge packs of motorcycles swarming the highways around St. Louis, with the bikers pulling stunts, making hand gestures and forcing cars off the roadway.
There has been no official word yet from the state highway patrol or other public safety officials.
The reports started coming in around 2 p.m. from various spots on I-270 and I-70, most recently in the north St. Louis county area. Some claimed to see as many as 800 to 1,000 motorcycles in a pack.
There has been at least one major accident, which resulted in serious injuries and forced the closure of I-270 near New Halls Ferry. The injured were flown to an area hospital, according to the state highway patrol. No further details are known at this time.
