I love this hurricane🌀 app
Great app 😄
Why fix something that wasn't broke? It's been dumbed down! Only shows the tracks for your area as opposed to worldwide like it used to. They've down the same with the First Aid app only made it more complicated to find what needs to done.
It sends out alerts.
PLEASE update the water and food recommendations. A week's minimum on both. During 2004 we were without power for 2 weeks. Just look at Sanibel and surrounding communities now. When the roads are out or impassable..it may take 3-4 days just to clear the roads. I have 12 cases of water in my garage...and more than enough fuel for a camping stove. New arrivals to our state need to know how to better prepare. I would easily double or triple whatever is recommended.
Well of course red cross won't respond. They take your.blood make money off it and sale it and the perfect giving the blood gets nothing while your blood is sold to many different countries and nothing is given to us they also want people to down their apps donate to them why they make money off of us. So i down loaded this app just to say what I had to say and I will never use anything the red cross had again. My blood is worth more then a pack of crackers, juice or pin or t shirt.
Location and family names to stay upto date with them even friends.
