Cool Since it's Tornado Season

In light of the devastating tornado that ravaged Moore, Ok., I decided to look for apps that warned of tornados. I found an app by The Red Cross, which seems to be very good, called tornado.

You setup the app to "follow you", as well as have a home location. It will send an alert and a sound a siren tone, should there be a tornado warning in your area. I find this especially helpful, if you are traveling and there happens to be a tornado warning in the area you are driving or staying.

This is a FREE APP for iPhone and Android, so I recommend everyone download and install this app.

Using the App store or Google Play, search for TORNADO and download the free Red Cross App.

FYI: The Red Cross has several other apps for Wildfires, Hurricanes, etc. So you might want to check those out too. All are free.
