This is the one to get if you live in tornado alley
I live in Fort Worth, Texas. We frequently have severe weather, usually Thunderstorms but occasionally there will be a this app that could be life threatening. The trouble with most apps like this is that they go off so often you end up turning them off. We had a NOAA weather radio that went off so often that I finally threw it in the trash. With this well designed app you can easily customize the type of weather events you want to be notified about, how you want to be notified, and how near the weather event is before you are notified. We often get severe storm watches and warnings and this app watches and I like to get silent, i.e. text notifications only, of these events. But when a this app warning is issued within 25 miles of my home, I want the siren to sound immediately and loudly. That’s exactly what this app does. If you would like to be notified when an event is 44 or 144 miles away instead of only 25 you could specify that. It’s all up to you. You can even monitor multiple locations with separate settings for each one. For instance, you could set up separate locations for your home, your workplace, your partner’s workplace, and your child’s school. The siren has only sounded a few times in the last few years but I have been grateful to be alarmed and alerted each time it has.

Excellent App
We have had a few tornadoes in our area lately & the Warning Notification always goes off & warns us. This App is exactly what we need during severe weather, even if you live in an area that usually doesn’t get a lot of tornadoes.

Awesome
I depend on this app for ALL my weather emergencies ! It also teaches you how to be prepared for emergencies!! Here are 5 reasons I LOVE THIS APP!! 1- IT IS FREE!! 2-The phone siren Wakes you up! 3- it alerts you even before your local alerts & local sirens! Remember Seconds save lives & this gives you many seconds!!! 4-it monitors your location so you are alerted of incoming weather even when traveling or visiting family! 5- you don't get bogus warnings like too hot outside or whatever. Red Cross offers specific apps that cover weather in your area. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquake, etc.
