Alert the office, school, city, or your family to the tornado warning 
for their specific area.  Automatically initiate a pre-recorded 
announcement or activate an alarm to encourage everyone to take shelter –
 but only if the alert affects the area. This information is available 
via the internet, but the internet might fail in the event of a serious 
storm.  Redundancy via the weather band provides additional certainty 
that the message is received correctly. This open-source project takes 
us through python coding, GitHub, continuous integration, integration of
 messages from different sources with different specificity, and testing
 of a device that should carry out its primary function perhaps 
annually. The finished product will be suitable for offices, schools, 
and outdoor alerting.</p>

>From the country’s hot spot for tornadoes per-capita, Huntsville, 
Alabama, Jim brings together an understanding of the severity of 
tornadoes and concern for fellow Red Hatters’ safety as a Safety Warden 
into a nighttime coding gig to create the ultimate tornado warning 
device.</p><br></div>
