your bath tub. This could really help people. You have obviously never been in a disaster where knowing what's happening exactly where and at what time could be the difference between life and death. This app may enable someone to actually live long enough to need those building supplies, not to mention, follow-up info from the news station after the storm such as where shelter, medical help and food can be found. My experience is that they don't run ads during extreme weather events like this, they actually work in the public interest. Until the Federal government offers a tornado-tracking app for free, I'll suffer a few ads after the storm to be safe during it.
