Phones Save People From Tornadoes and Hurricanes

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights the growing importance of smartphones as the primary alert system for tornadoes and hurricanes in the U.S. He reports that aging and often malfunctioning siren systems, like those in St. Louis during recent tornadoes, have failed to warn residents effectively. McIntyre advises keeping phones turned on during dangerous weather since smartphone alerts remain the most reliable method to stay informed and safe.
