I usually get an email from weather.com a notification on my ipad and my smartphone whenever a "watch" is in effect. Now I also have the RedCross Tornado App that will sound an alarm when there is a Tornado "Warning". Its LOUD no matter what setting your phone or iPad is on, its good for areas where you can't hear the sirens.

Seriously, if you tend to miss the sirens, or don't pay attention to the weather forecast much then you need to download the Red Cross Tornado App. It ONLY goes off if there is a Tornado Warning. Very Good app to have.
I was helping a friend (re)build his house out in the boonies a while ago, and there wasn't any cell reception on some of his property. That is a great app to know about, though. Thanks for pointing it out.

Sewtexas, I was only trying to make a point that I have become so accustomed to living in "tornado alley", I have gotten to the point of not worrying about them anymore. I certainly was not trying to be disrespectful to those that have suffered from them. Sorry if it came off that way. :cheers2:
