Evo on vacation = piece of mind

[jeeplj8]

Just got home from vacation and during this time of year in the Midwest, you should be prepared for anything. Long weekend of strong storms, no tornadoes where we were but still some scary moments.

Local TV was out in the resort (not sure what happened, sat channels worked).

Spent a lot of time looking at radar images on my Evo, and listening to NOAA radio using a tuner app. Even pulled up local EMS channel on scanner app.

The wife was much relived to have that information available. And noted her BB could not do that...

Not sure what the OP uses, but Scanner Radio can pull in EMS and NOAA. In addition to Fire, Police, Traffic, Airport, etc. But availability varies depending on your area.

scanner radio let me listen to local EMS:

It uses your location to find internet streams of local emergency channels. Thus it depends on the local services to have an internet feed. Still, we were at Table Rock Lake in MO/AR and found several feeds in the area.

Just downloaded. We are expecting severe weather and flooding so this will come in very handy. Thanks for posting.
