saved me and my kids life 😌 ❤️
It started out amazing, I live in Moore, Oklahoma and I sat all the alerts that were important to me and initially every watch and warning worked perfectly for the first couple of alerts , then as severe storms moved in no alerts , that's why I have several other weather alert apps, this still is an amazing app lots of much needed info and tutorials for disaster preparedness and you can get info for emergency response in your affected area if the need ever arises, I highly recommend this app !
has been working great for as long as I have had it.
alerts when its supposed to.

SO FAR IT'S BEEN GREAT
This App is excellent! It accurately warned Us of an approaching Tornado. So We could get to shelter in time.
