WEATHER APPS:
Stormy week here and I was unnerved the other night to not know of a tornado warning until noticing an alert crawl on the television. So I doubled-down on weather apps and am using them all (not that you need them all):
"While the name might suggest that it’s a NOAA Weather Radio app, that isn’t quite true. But it’s the next best thing. iMap Weather Radio uses a smart device’s geo-location technology to keep users informed of National Weather Service watches and warnings.
"If the app is left active (in other words, running in the background), when a notification is issued for your current location (or one of five other locations users can input), your phone will issue a distinctive alarm tone — similar to that of a NOAA Weather Radio — and will read the statement to you."
"Simple, no-nonsense app for quickly notifying you of severe weather alerts in a chosen radius from your current location, including Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Snow Storms, Frost Advisories, Flood/Fire Warnings and hundreds more. Alerts you with sound even when the phone is lying unused with screen off!"
