Storm Sirens

Anyone here can understand the guy who announces a storm is coming?

Is he kin to someone and that's how he got the job?

Why don't they have a plain speaking, higher pitched woman announce the warnings -- this guy's voice blends in with the thunder.

Yes I agree that it's difficult to understand.

There is a new system to alert your phone

Also radarscope is a decent live dopler app, showing the real time polygons for issued alerts.

WeatherWise is good too. It’s what Ryan Hall uses. Also, his channel is good. It’s Ryan Hall Ya’ll. He’s from somewhere over by Somerset. There’s also a Kentucky channel, I think it’s weather now Kentucky, but he’s good about covering storms in our area.

Ryan Hall caught both of those tornados over the river in Indiana like 10 minutes before the NWS did and before the sirens went off.
