[ARRL-OK] FW: SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGUNTILSUNAPR10200508:30PMCDT...

[M. Schneider]

Well, I wouldn't recommend WeatherBugsme, but I listed it in the interest of 
fairness.  I use MyCast and EmergencyEmail.  The list was a quick check of 
my favorites folder and the Big 6 Oklahoma TV stations.  I also have 
WeatherTap for the radar, but that's a paid service.

I still highly recommend a NOAA WX Radio w/SAME alert, then you don't need 
an internet connection.  Come on, we're amateur RADIO operators, what could 
be more natural than receiving alerts via NOAA RADIO!

A possible downside to these is the spam they can generate.  Weatherbug
requires you accept messages in their alerts.  I discontinued it because of
the overwhelming amount of email they generated.  Don't know about the local
stations, but they are in business to make money.
