Technology & Severe Weather

With severe weather knocking at our door this week, we took advantage of a sale at the Tonganoxie City Office on a Midland weather radio. Equipped with S.A.M.E. technology, the radio will pick up any weather alerts and warnings for our programmed area. In other words, when a weather watch or warning is issued for Leavenworth County, the radio will sound an alarm followed by the warning. It works too ... we got our first weather alert last night with a Flash Flood warning after we had received 1.60" of rain in just a couple of hours. I know that it was 1.60" of rain thanks to our new wireless rain gauge. Technology and severe weather - it's a beautiful combination.
