Just got a flooding notification here in Phoenix area. Because it rains so infrequently here, roads get a buildup of tire/oil that a little rain makes them very slick. People move here and make fun of how slow we drive in the rain until they slide into an intersection trying to stop hard. Not all danger is from deep water, so it's good to plan a little extra time to get to work. Be safe and enjoy the rare rainy day! Thanks for the app!!

I've try other weather apps, but FEMA's with it's auto alert is an excellent app feature I like the best. In my area of the Pacific Northwest, there's no extreme weather. There might be alert it Mt Rainier decides to erupt. However, I did receive a warning for heavy rain and possible flooding not far from where I live. I can see how it can be beneficial for people who live in extreme weather condition areas with tornadoes.
