Weather Alerts on your phone
Awesome.
Love it. Except when you get the Tornado watch till 7 am just before going to bed. Like I'm really supposed to sleep now?

Agreed - I was on a motorcycle trip many states away. At the end of the convention, all others rode into a big storm and got wet all day. I watched the weather alerts, waited an hour, changed my route a bit and stayed dry. One of the others got hit by lightening, ended up in the hospital. It took out the computer and radio on his new Harley. No warranty fix for that.
- Also like getting traffic alerts from state DOT App.....Let's me know when the Mtn pass is closed, floating bridge opens, etc....

The cool part is it knows where you are, so the alert is for the location where you are. On more that one road trip I was warned the storm was coming and I could be alert to the situation.

Yup, awesome safety feature. We have so many watches here that I only get notified for warnings. Then you can check the radar from your phone to see where the storm actually is and where it is heading. Technology is awesome.
