Get a smartphone with a weather alert app. Unfortunately, high winds are not always easy to predict.. like tornados.

On my trip to the midwest last fall, I would check every morning, and if things looked, ok, I proceeded. The phone is for that unexpected stuff.

X-2, on the smart phone, I just bought a Apple OS-6 I-Phone last month and enjoy the weather alert on it. The phone also let me know of a Amber Alert in my area recently and I never downloaded a application for that.

Amber Alerts on cellphones these days are incorporated into the chipset and have nothing to do with any of the weather apps. The stock Apple Wx app is just OK. There are MANY out there way better and will tell you of thunderstorms, tornadoes, floods, and a pile of other things either in the area or heading your way.

Take a look at: STORM & Wx Radio.
I have MANY more running in the background, but these should be essential when relying on a Smartphone for your alerts
