iPhone / Smartphone Emergency Weather App

So you are signed up for the emergency weather alerts for your county. What is the first thing you do when you get a text message that your county is under a tornado warning? Pull up the Weather Channel App to see exactly where the weather is?

Why not build this in automatically so that TWC sends the latest radar pic with the warning? This time you can see if it is right on top of you or if it is on the other side of your county completely! It would save you a lot of time and could possibly save your life!

Of course, I'm sure they would have a disclaimer that you shouldn't trust their system completely. It would be bad for someone to see the radar pic, stay home, then a tornado pop out of no where right on top of them...
