Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale:


Ways to get severe weather warnings practically anywhere in the US:

1. A NOAA weather radio
-This is the best option for any type of weather warning no matter where you are in the country. They have a battery backup and will work even when the power is out or cell towers are down. You can also get portable radios that are similar to two-way radios that you can carry anywhere.

2. Your chosen local weather person on your favorite local news channel
-Any of them worth a damn will be live when there is an active tornado warning, some are live for severe thunderstorms that merit coverage.

3. Radio simulcast of your local news/weather affiliate coverage
-For any major weather events many channels are carried live on a partner radio station.

4. Livestream coverage from the above on Facebook, YouTube, websites, etc.
-Most good weather coverage channels will at least stream their coverage to Facebook or their own website or weather app.

5. News affiliated weather apps
-These will give you both direct warning and coverage of ongoing weather events. You can adjust settings to follow your location and get all pertinent warnings for the area you are in.

6. Following the Xwitter account of the National Weather Service office that is responsible for the area you live in, work in, or are visiting
-You can turn on notifications that will give you every single warning that is issued for your area. It will be sent to you automatically. If you are anywhere in the United States or its territories there is a NWS office that covers the area.

7. Weather Apps
-Some (not all) weather apps for your phone will send out warnings that are catered to the area you are in at the time. If you have cell service, it works.

8. The EAS system on your cell phone
-If you do not turn it off it will work to alert you for tornado warnings and destructive severe thunderstorm warnings.
