Re: [mh] Weather Alerts in MH

[Yangmin S. <ya...@sh...>]

One thing to keep in mind is that the weather radios usually do not give you
much granularity in terms of alerts that you care/don't care about.  

For example I live in Illinois and get the same sort of weather you do.  I
want to know about tornadoes, but not about flooding.  My weather radio will
not distinguish between the two alerts, so in the spring when both tornadoes
and flooding occurs it just becomes an annoyance.

Have you looked at NOAA's EMWIN project?  It gives you multiple ways to get
alert and other weather information, both over the internet and via. 
other routes such as radio, e-mail and paging.

Their information page is at:
