Everything you need, nothing you don't. Florida Storms is not just another weather app with a radar. It's a clean and fast
interactive map that alerts you to every storm, while at the same time delivers credible real- time audio and text alerts from
the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network. Using a combination of Baron's exclusive storm track algorithms and the
expertise of a meteorologist, you're certain to receive the most up- to- date information on any potential weather hazard.
View the latest tropical weather updates from the National Hurricane Center, find out if you’re in an evacuation zone, check
if you're in the path of a dangerous storm surge, or just review a checklist of items your family should have in case of a
weather emergency. Once you have Florida Storms, you won't need multiple apps to prepare for the next "big one".
Whether it's just a routine lightning storm that might send you indoors, or a major hurricane threatening your neighborhood,
Florida Storms is the simplest and fastest way to stay informed of mother nature's next move.
