hey all,

just through i post this link

"The Australian Early Warning Network (EWN) provides emergency alerts covering everything from tsunamis through to severe weather. EWN monitors and tracks potentially dangerous weather systems and uses the network to alert people directly in the path of an event such as a thunderstorm with the potential for hail, flash flooding or damaging winds"

sign up then when there is a storm or anything in your area they will SMS the details

I had just finished cleaning & drying the spa when it hit Thagoona - side ways rain got into it & was about a foot deep in 15-20mins...

its a good program but the alerts can be too much at times

Good idea, but if your mobile do you have to keep updating your location or does it send a broadcast sms to all registered users currently in the effected area?
