Severe Weather Alerts for your exact location.
Storm Shield Weather Radio App gives you storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm, winter storm seasons and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification.
Storm-based or polygon alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county. Most other apps and sources still use county-based alerts (meaning you'd get an alert even if your location in the county is not within the threatened area).
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
>> Storm Shield "alerted our family of the Broken Arrow, OK tornado, faster than the TV and tornado sirens."
- Robyn, Broken Arrow, OK resident
>> "I was in Oklahoma City during the tornado... we were right in its path. Your app literally was a life saver."
- dcalk12
>> "Saved me from my deductible! This app saved me $495! I got a notification about a storm coming my way with possible hail and was able to get my car in the garage before it hit. My neighbor's car had significant hail damage, mine was safe thanks to this app. Totally worth the price!"
