I used my Sprint phone to watch radar, get updates, but I sure wish I had a weather radio at that time. We had to seek shelter in a laundry room when the warnings were issued. My two cents....get a good ac/dc weather radio.
--Something I wanted to add...I bought a weather radio that night at Wal-Mart after the all clear was given. Took it back, it would not charge or run on batteries. I don't rememeber the brand because I returned it the next morning but it was yello, had a hand crank and two small LCD screens. Beware. It was in blister packaging, distributed by some company in St Louis and was lke 19.95.
