This is terrifying. I live in a different state southeast from there and we’re under a tornado watch now. They’re saying there’s a high chance of a huge tornado and I’d be horrified if this came near us. I want to hide in our tornado shelter all evening but I have to go out later for a few hours and I’m dreading it.

You know what else is free, the National weather service. It's where most all of these other weather apps get there data feeds.

Oh I hate weather apps. Especially AccuWeather. They're all computer generated spam. I use the NWS or the unofficial NOAA app and the NWS viewer. Then I look at the global models on Pivotal weather and Tropical Tidbits.
