I posed this question on my weather-related Twitter and Facebook accounts to get an idea of how others receive weather alert information. Here are Twitter responses:
@ckostik: Phone Text message
@RickyMorgan71: Your tweets.
@OSNW3: Nothing automated, I usually know of the situation ahead of time and keep tabs by using the Internet.
@JakeWhiting: I use WeatherBug, Simple Weather Alerts (for Android), and Twitter. One is bound to be on time!
@SwishaJames: NWS website from my phone
@tcollen: ESP :)
@DysonGuy: if on computer weatherbug or interwarn. iPhone / iPad I get text alerts and use WeatherRadio app. Weather radio also
@lars21: Weather Channel app on my phone or NWS site if at home
@GingerFritzie: NOAA Weather Radio for the iPhone.
@MayorTabke: MyWeather on the iPhone
There was one constant I saw: No one said the outdoor sirens! People are using alternative sources for real-time information. Thanks to everyone who participated in this unscientific poll.
Weren’t able to chime in with a response? Feel free to share your methods for receiving alerts in the comment section below.
