Welcome to my world. Down here in the tropics we deal with severe thunder storms all summer long. They are frequent and can easily carry tornadic activity. A weather radio with SAME technology is great to have around if you have the patience to program it. However, I've found targeted email updates from Emergency Mail or MyCast to be just as helpful and timely. Sometimes working deep inside concrete buildings might keep us insulated from changing conditions we need to be aware of. Updates to a smart phone or Blackberry (thank you Canada) is an easy way to stay on top of it.
