Or you can also get the weather radios that are portable that you can program NOA stations and zip codes into and they will sound an alarm. We find that the plain NOA radios from Radio Shack work quite well and won't be as hard on batteries. 2012 Jay Flight 19RD TT/W thermal package R19 walls, R22 roof, R24 floor 2008 F-250 Ford FX4 6.8L V10/4.10 rear axle Curt class V hitch Reese Trunion WD with dual cam AC6CV/7 ex-W8RUR since 1954 Klueck • View posts Florida Senior Member Joined: 11/15/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/04/12 04:28pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I don't know of a phone app that sounds a warning.

If you have an iPhone, down load an application(free) called Wind Alert Dick djgarcia@earthlink.net WyoTraveler • View posts Powell, WY Senior Member Joined: 11/22/2011 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/04/12 04:34pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We use the midland WR300 weather alert radio in our home for weather alerts. They also have some portable weather radios. Try the below web site. These radios turn on automatically and announce alerts. You can program in just the alerts you want to hear i.e. alerts you are concerned about at the time and area that you may be in. Once a week NOAA tests the radio so you can hear if it is operating properly. http://www.weatherradiostore.com/ emiddleb • View posts Northville, MI Senior Member Joined: 02/20/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/04/12 04:53pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator It would certainly help if you would specify what type of phone... Android has many such apps...

Some of the earlier versions had some problems with crashing but the app site claims that has been fixed with the latest version. The iMap program is available at the itunes app store. I haven't personally tried this one yet but may add it for summer travels through Tornado Alley. joe b.

On the Android I am using an app from the Market...Raindar. Live radar, but I would have to check on the alarm ability. Great program for watching live radar as you travel down the highway.

You can set your alerts for wind, flood warnings, tornadoes, hurricanes or whatever alert you may be interested in. It will send the alerts to your phone whenever they are issued by the National Weather Service. I also have the Weather Channel app if I want to check forecast, etc. They both work very well. Both apps were free. * This post was edited 02/05/12 10:06am by rlh2 * 2009 2500 Silverado CC,D/A 1994 Sunnybrook 26FK powderman426 • View posts ohio Senior Member Joined: 06/28/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/04/12 06:28pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator On Android, weather bug wil send alerts and its free.
