Hearer is a tip for those who aren't skeerd of modern technology. Yes weather radio's are good but how do you know where the storm is in relation to your location? Knowing a storm is South of rout 45 tracking north west towards Dudley doesn't tell you anything if you don't know where you are in relation to the storm and it's track. You could be in the path or a long ways away.
I use my smart phone or tablet or even my lap top. Besides the NOAA app and the other weather apps/weather radar just pull up Google maps and it will show you where you are. Now you can tell what is going on and if you need to take shelter or you are in the clear.
