If you are looking for the best Weather Bulletin Pager and Email Service, look into [StormNow]. They offer the fastest, most reliable service around. I have used their email and pager services for ten years now. They offer a huge list of options including local, regional, and national. Their bulletins range from thunderstorm and tornado watches and warnings to marine and coastal conditions, and they are always keeping their service/products updated and current with what NOAA/NWS makes available to the public. Here in Florida we have a wide range of conditions, from beautiful sunny days to Category 5 hurricanes, with wildfires thrown in here and there just to keep things interesting. I rely on StormNow to keep me updated on the ever changing conditions. Their staff also has excellent customer service and are always helpful, whether you're contacting them through email or over the phone.

After a month of this service I couldn't picture living without it. I spent countless hours constantly going back to the SPC and NWS pages among others, to look for updated info. The second a convective outlook is released, I want to know it. Well,....need to know it, living in Texas it could be life saving. We had a severe storm come through here 3 weeks ago. NOAA weather radio issued the warning 9 minutes after [StormNow] sent the info to me. By this time the storm had almost completely passed. And now you provide that for me at very little cost, and I appreciate it and am happy to support [StormNow].

Here at Kennedy Space Center, we use your bulletins to help plan major hardware moves. (Many people don't realize that the shuttle is half-disassembled after every flight, and the parts refurbished in separate buildings which may be ten miles apart—and no way do we want that stuff exposed to lightning!) You may well have saved the taxpayers a few million dollars by now, in terms of moves that could be planned ahead of time (and personnel schedules arranged) without having to be cancelled or run into overtime because of unexpected weather.

Yesterday's event over the upper Midwest was a good test to evaluate the timeliness of [StormNow] data. [StormNow] as an example had watchbox data delivered 4 minutes FASTER then the DTN satellite feed, which has been typically within 90 seconds of the AFOS time stamps. This is just one example, and there are many variables, but congratulations are in order in a random spot test... timeliness of data delivery with severe events in Wisconsin has been outstanding!!!

I cannot begin to tell you of the possible lives that have been saved due to this effective means of information dissemination! Your program and your system has far surpassed all expectations, and these expectations were surpassed under real-time actual battle conditions! Not just once either but time, after time, after time!

Having this data coming into my alpha pager has given me 20-30 minutes advance notice on watches, which has helped greatly in mobilizing our staff of lead operators. Even warning information appears 2-3 minutes before NOAA weather radio. Thanks for making this service available.

I would like to send a quick note to express my sincerest gratitude your service made to me on Friday, April 4. I live in Knoxville, Tennessee, and a major weather system was breaking out across all of Tennessee that day. I activated SKYWARN as Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado warnings were being issued locally. As the evening went on, I logged on to the Internet and watched my email for statements issued by the National Weather Service. As the situation here intensified, I found it difficult to relay NWS bulletins without deleting vital information. I was elated as I discovered that the NWS bulletins were being sent out over the Internet as quickly as they were over the airwaves into my SAME Weatheradio. I could verify the bulletin then read it verbatim off my email to the HAM operators and Scanner monitors listening across East Tennessee. I was also able to read warnings issued for outlying areas not programmed into my Weatheradio. Your service was a tremendous help to us last night, and I will gladly continue to utilize your service in the hopes that it may be able to help save lives during another severe weather outbreak.

Your timely dissemination of watches and warnings are especially valuable to both of these organizations, allowing timely and advance knowledge of possible weather situations... the local storm reports are also valuable in the fact that they let us (the American Red Cross) know where possible areas of damage may lie, so we have a better idea of any areas that we may have missed during initial damage assessment, thus allowing us to get aid to areas in a timely fashion. There are a few of us in the area that nearly continuously monitor the weather during our storm seasons, so much so that others know to call us to check on the weather whenever they are not near a TV or radio... these people form the core of our area's NWS's trained severe weather response team, and the addition of [StormNow] has allowed us to get even better at anticipating potential weather situations and getting the appropriate people into place ahead of time. Your service is well worth the $2 per month.

We currently are using a brand new DTN/Kavorous System called StormCentury PC. Just today, we got the watch/warning feature up and running on that system. . . . Well, today, we had some severe weather move through. We noticed, we would get the watch/warning/statement from you all in lightning speed. Unfortunately, the DTN system would take about 5+ minutes to plot a warning, and up to 20 minutes to plot watches. Also, using this new DTN system, we can’t get stuff like The Convective Outlooks, Special Weather Statements, Etc. . . . At our Central Station, we operate the whole civil defense operations from tornado sirens, to storm spotters in the field, the whole nine yards. Thank you all so much for your continued superior service, and kind, friendly approach you all have always had with me.

I am an Assistant Emergency Coordinator for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service, Lamar County, TX. Thanks to your email service which I purchased a few months ago, I was able to warn my family in Moyers, Oklahoma, of the TORNADO WARNINGS issued for Pushmataha County, on Easter Sunday. I called using a Cell phone directly after receiving the warning that was issued @ 1413. I called them back @ 1416 and heard my family running for cover. A tornado had touched down in the neighbor's yard just then and was headed right for them. Needless to say I was disconnected again. The tornado did minor damage to the land and a trailer and significant damage to a neighboring RV park and other parts of Pushmataha County. Many thanks for the fast warning. No warning was issued on the air in their area until after the fact. NOAA weather radio is not strong enough at their location to be picked up by a weather radio. Your service was their warning. On behalf of my family and especially my loved ones, THANK YOU for being there.
