The weather radio you buy can be set to silent until a warning of your choice occurs, at which point, it will alert you. You cannot rely on television programs to warn you of an approaching tornado when the power is out. Only a weather radio, which is equipped with a backup battery, is only the truly fool-proof way to get your severe weather warnings.
Even city-wide tornado sirens are fallible — tornadoes have been known to tear down siren alert systems in their paths. There are many receiver options, however, ranging from handheld portable units which just pick up Weather Radio broadcasts, to desktop and console models which receive Weather Radio as well as other broadcasts. They are sold at most electronics stores, including Radio Shack and Amazon. The National Weather Service will send a Hz tone alarm before most warning and many watch messages are broadcast.
The tone will activate all the receivers which are equipped to receive it, even if the audio is turned off. This is especially useful for warnings which occur during the night when most people are asleep.
Most warnings and watches broadcast over NOAA Weather Radio are county-based or independent city-based parish-based in Louisiana , although in a few areas of the country the alerts are issued for portions of counties. It also allows you to receive weather alerts that you customize for your specific county or other location of interest. Here is the only thing I wish there was a workaround for: Part of why I purchased this app is so I can have it wake me up if there is severe weather or flash flooding at night.
Here is my story, I downloaded this app in anticipation for Hurricane Irma. I went to use the app and it was locked in to the loading screen, I thought this meant it would work in a time of need.
Once we lost power and the storm was ramping up to its worst, I opened the app and waited 1 min for it to connect to a radio in my area. No luck, I figured I would try again when I received power. When I did get power same issue occurred. We faired ok and I downloaded my local news app. We used it for the next 2 days day of storm and luckily the I am not a fan of paying for apps unless it is a necessity. He responded that his team would be working to fix the issue. Although that is kind I would still like a refund and responded this.
