Tornado Watch?

"-- When a tornado hit Evansville, Indiana two years ago injuring 230, one survivor said, "I didn't hear the siren."
As a result, Ms. Pamela Harrell invented the Tornado Alarm System (TAS) which operates much like a smoke alarm ($35). The TAS will be shown at the International Home and Housewares Show.
"The TAS only sounds its siren when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning," says Ms. Harrell.
After it is plugged in, county code selected and frequency tuned, installation is complete."

Not all American residents that are in danger of tornados live close to a siren system. Some towns don't have enough funds to buy a siren at all. It kills me to hear that the state of California spends $34 million on "security" for our governor, but entire communities in other states cannot protect their own people. The Governator is safe from poparazzi, but hundreds of people die from a natural disaster that they could have escaped if only they were warned.
Oh how we prioritize!
