WeatherCall

Brad Huffines

Think of it as “NOAA Weather Radio” without the radio.

WeatherCall is a cost-effective, extremely accurate, user-friendly method to deliver official NWS warnings right to your telephone.

For years, television stations have been preaching that NOAA Weather Radios are the only way to keep in touch with dangerous weather when you are away from your television or radio. It was, UNTIL NOW. As a 12 year consultant and contract instructor for the Department of Homeland Security’s Emergency Management Institute, I have held my cell phone up in front of thousands to the nations first responders, police, firefighters, mayors, governors and representatives that the best way to reach the majority of people in our society is by using their telephones. And the wonderful things about phones is that they have never gone out of style. That Princess Style phone that has sat next to your grandmother’s bed for 50 years is TODAY as reliable as the most technologically advanced cell phone used in the world today when used in conjunction with WeatherCall.

Storm Force and WeatherCall

Now that I have found WeatherCall, I have something that I can preach to emergency responders and home viewers alike. To business owners and school superintendents, I promise them the best and most effective way to keep students and employees as safe as possible when Tornadoes threaten the Tennessee Valley. And while it does work flawlessly in the Tennessee Valley, it also works for each and every square inch of land in the United States.

I have it at my house, I am buying it for my relatives for Christmas, since this technology has PROVEN to save lives in times of the nation’s deadliest weather, and will make a difference in each and every decision you make from now on when tornadoes threaten the Tennessee Valley. Are you comfortable that your weather radio, television and radio are as reliable as your telephones? I bet that most of you who purchased weather radios in the past year have already been turned off due to the over-warning that has worn you OUT!

The National Weather Service has stopped issuing severe thunderstorm, tornado, and flash flood warnings by naming entire counties. Since the technology exists today to do so, the NWS issues ’storm based warnings’, based on the individual storms that produce damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes, and flash flooding. This virtually ELIMINATES the over-warning problem the NWS has had to content with since the start of their existence. However, weather radio technology will NOT catch up with technology for a decade. WeatherCall brings the world’s greatest weather warning system to your NEIGHBORHOOD for the first time in history.
