AlertHouston | Severe Weather, Including Tornadoes and Street Flooding Possible Tuesday
DATE: November 16, 2015 11:40:35 PM CST
The City of Houston is monitoring the potential for severe thunderstorms, some of which may spawn tornadoes, as well as cause heavy rainfall beginning Tuesday. The main threats from this system will be damaging winds, the potential for multiple tornadoes, and heavy rain, which may cause flooding of roads and low-lying areas.
Residents should take steps to prepare for this type of weather. This includes:
- Ensure you have a way to be informed of severe weather. This includes having a NOAA Weather Radio, and making sure your mobile phone is charged and can receive Wireless Emergency Alerts.
- Be prepared to take shelter if a Tornado WARNING is issued for your area. The best place to shelter from a tornado is an interior room on the lowest floor possible.
- Be prepared for delays during Tuesday commute. Plan extra time, as rainfall may make some access roads impassible.
- NEVER drive into areas of high water. If you can't see the street below, the water is too high for your vehicle. Please remember to Turn Around, Don't Drown.

I found these NOAA WEATHER RADIOS on Amazon...the more severe weather we get, the more we think we need something other than our phones and computers.
Does anyone have something similar?
UPDATE: Storms came through, some heavy winds, lots of rain, a few funnel clouds spotted but nothing reached the ground. And now it's COLD...
