They call you in the middle of the night. It has the advantage of near zero false alarms.

So, if storms are in the forecast, make sure your location is correctly noted in the phone.

They also have an app called Strike which shows lightning alerts in a particular location. I used it last year when coaching soccer to help keep the kids safe. Some parents didn't like me very much because they thought I was overreacting when they didn't think the storm was near us. When I showed them a lightning strike that occurred at least 10 miles ahead of the storm one evening, they changed their tune a bit. <br /><br />You can find more information about the Weather Radio app here: http://weatherradioapp.com/ And no, I'm not a paid spokesman. Just a weather nerd that tries out all kinds of technology.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332474582104543861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965215084022057128.post-80880865588791091432016-01-18T09:35:38.500-06:002016-01-18T09:35:38.500-06:00Can you recommend a specific app?Can you recommend a specific app?Mark Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615941169394015744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965215084022057128.post-21587517173629990582016-01-17T10:38:51.725-06:002016-01-17T10:38:51.725-06:00Thank you, Clay.

Sarasota is out of range of that, but it could have caused an issue if there had been tornadoes in this area. Having a weather radio in addition to a smartphone app or something else which creates a redundancy in how to receive warnings.<br /><br />Growing up in Kansas (under your TV warnings back in the day) I'm used to this kind of weather. People down here aren't. It's a different culture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332474582104543861noreply@blogger.com
