Sean Paul, I do not blame you and completely agree. If some have had success with Imap Weather Radio that is great, but I could not trust it and found the alerts not timely enough. I am fascinated with the idea of text alerts if those will be any more timely than what other apps may provide. I wil have to look at Weather ALert USA since this is not an app I'm familiar with and would like to read info on. I still relie on local radio to get the most up-to-date forecast information during a weather event. THanks for sharing the name of this other app.
