Tornado Warned README Title Image

Don't wait for the alert. Stay ahead of mother nature's worst.

Meteorologists and severe weather experts have access to some awesome tools for knowing far in advance when dangerous weather will strike and tracking it in real-time. Unfortunately, these resources are not curated in a way that's easily accessible to the general public.

Most people depend on alerts from either their phones or tvs (if they even have cable or watch local stations) to know if dangerous weather is in the area. The reality is, by the time the alerts are received, it's often too late.

Think of TornadoWarned.com as your own personal command center for following and staying ahead of severe weather...specifically the tornado-producing kind.

Currently, TornadoWarned.com is just a way for me to scratch my own tornado-obesession itch. If you have a killer idea for a new feature, or feature change, I'll definitely entertain it. If you find a bug, throw in a PR with a thorough description of the issue along with the correction code, and I'll get it merged.
