Lightning Notification:
Many storms never reach the point of being declared "severe" by the National Weather Service; yet produce potentially deadly lightning strikes. ABAWeatherCall ToGo service notifies you when lightning is striking within 6 miles, plus an "all clear" after the lightning-producing storm has exited your 6 mile safety zone. Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, Flash Flood Warnings, and Lightning Notification:In addition to lightning notification, ABAWeatherCall ToGo delivers National Weather Service warnings. Trusted by hundreds of thousands nationwide, ABAWeatherCall ToGo "follows" your iPhone or Android's self-reported location only when you want it to, and will notify you if you have come within 1 mile or less of a National Weather Service (NWS) warning area. When the danger has passed, it will notify you with a call or text when it's "all clear". If you turn the application off during a long period of pleasant weather, the system will send a "reminder SMS" the next time the National Weather Service issues a warning for within a 30 mile region of the phone's last reported location. |
