Do you know that a simple phone call could save your life? That's what Frank's Weathercall is all about. I am so excited to be part of bringing this brand new technology designed to save lives in times of severe weather. News Channel 8 is the only tv station in Green Country to offer this service.
Here's how it works: when you sign-up at KTUL.COM, you indicate what address of yours you'd like to be included in our warning system. It can be your work, home or loved one's address, or all 3 if you'd like to register 3 times. Then you indicate what phone numbers and email addresses you'd like to receive the warnings to. You can include your cell phone, home phone, work phone, etc.. Finally you indicate which warnings you'd like to receive besides Tornado. The others include Severe T-Storm Warning and Flash Flood Warning. And that's it! This way you'll know about life theatening weather when you are asleep, not home, or out of electricity.
We've made it very affordable. It's only $6 per year which amounts to about 50 cents per month. It's clearly worth saving your life for.
You will go into our system and start receiving the warnings you asked for to the numbers and email addresses you inserted for the address you included. In other words, your phone will ring anytime your address is within the severe weather warning. My messages to you will let you know what warning you are under and tips on how to stay safe.
We've already had more than 2000 people sign up for this great one of a kind service just in time for our recent rounds of severe weather. Thousand of phone calls went out to those who signed up warning them of tornados, severe thunderstorms and flash floods. Before our next severe weather outbreak, go to KTUL.COM, look for the Weathercall link and sign up for the phone call that could save your life!!!
For those without a computer, we do have an application that will be mailed. The service is only $6.00 per year, per address. Anyone in the United States can sign up for this. For example: You live in Tulsa, your child is going to college in Texas and your elderly parents live in Hawaii. You can sign up all three addresses for only $18.00 a year.
What you get for the $6.00 fee is notification via telephone or email (your choice) when a Tornado Warning - Severe Thunderstorm Warning - Flash Flood Warning is issued by the National Weather Service for your address. You may choose 1 - 2 or all 3 of the notifications for the same price.
Hopefully they will fix this system..not sure I want to bet my life on this!!
Don't know where I could send pics but would love to send them to K8. If you know, email Leeiam2002@hotmail.com

Thought it maybe just had a glitch the 1st time, but the second round of storms came barreling in. Hail strong winds, some rotation. No call. After the storm passed the call came and then about 5 min. later the second.
Then once again with the 3rd, less severe storm, the call came in after it had almost already passed.
A good system for after the fact, but prior to giving sufficient warning is not working well. I would expect my call to come when the Severe weather notice 1st comes up on the screen for my county.
I'm hoping with the next line of storms, that the problem resolves itself as it is not beneficial to my family after the fact. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks Kristi Willis
Thanks Kevin
