Weather alert
How do you find out about weather alerts? I don't believe the Villages has a siren service.
|
I have two weather apps on my phone.
Weather.com Clime from NOAA I have MA home, FL home and NJ grandkids home locations for alerts The biggest question is nighttime tornado warning alerts. . . YMMV |
I also have a lightning alert on my phone, as recommended by prior posters here.

On a serious side, in case of a tornado, most of the houses in TV are 'shelter in place", so go to an interior room or closet and wait out the storm. Personally, I would like the basement option but not available here. We did this for Irma, and apparently one small tornado spun up about .25 miles from our house. Several houses lost some roof shingles, we had a few trees blown over but were able to straighten them out, no other damage. Ian totaled out 6 ceiling panels in the birdcage, so we had all 33 panels replaced, no other damage.

Has there ever been a tornado in or near tv?
Only been here a few years I think we did experience the winds of one hurricane some time ago. |

Also, for the storm alerts, a few of the local (Orlando) television stations have apps that offer storm alerts, along with the ones mentioned above.
IRMA spun off a few small (EF0) tornados, and I think one was within a quarter mile of our house as several houses lost 10 to 25% of their shingles, but thankfully that was the limit of the damage. |
