Kinwarn warns you when a tornado, severe thunderstorm or flash flood warning covers your home, or the home of someone you love. Mom doesn't need an app: with Kinwarn Pro, we call her. THE EXACT ADDRESS, NOT THE WHOLE COUNTY Kinwarn checks each saved address against the National Weather Service warning's storm polygon. If a tornado warning stops a mile short of Mom's house, her place shows No warnings. If it covers her house, you know right away, with the minutes until the storm arrives. WHAT YOUR PHONE’S EMERGENCY ALERTS MISS Wireless Emergency Alerts reach phones inside the warned area, so your phone stays quiet when a tornado warning covers Mom’s house two states away. And many warnings never set one off: from 2022 to 2025, over 2 in 3 flash flood warnings and about 98 in 100 severe thunderstorm warnings came without one. Kinwarn alerts you to these warnings for every home you add. FREE: ALERTS FOR 2 PLACES • Notifications for your home and one more place: tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood and high wind warnings and tornado watches; hurricane, storm surge, extreme wind, tsunami and evacuation orders; winter storm, blizzard, ice storm, extreme heat and cold (quiet overnight, or turn them off) • A heads-up when a tornado warning is close and moving toward your home • A School or Work place that alerts only during the hours you set • A clear warning screen: take shelter, minutes until the storm arrives, what to do, and the full warning exactly as the National Weather Service issued it • "Got it" stops repeat alerts for a warning unless it gets worse • "I'm safe — tell family" in one tap • Always shows when alerts were last updated, and tells you if National Weather Service data is delayed • Radar with warning boxes, storm cells and where each one is headed, rotation, rain or snow, and satellite • Every warning and watch in the US on one map • Hurricanes: the forecast cone and when storm winds could reach each address • Storm, flash flood, winter storm and heat risk for the next 3 days in plain words • Storm history for each address or any US county: every tornado since 1950, floods, hail, wind, winter storms and heat • 16 plain-English storm guides • Widgets for the Lock Screen, Home Screen and CarPlay • Your places come back on a new iPhone through your own iCloud KINWARN PRO: CALLS FOR THE MOST DANGEROUS WARNINGS • Up to 10 places • Calls to up to 3 U.S. phone numbers, including yours, for tornado warnings, destructive thunderstorms, serious flash flood warnings, extreme wind, tsunamis, evacuation orders, and hurricane and storm surge warnings • Family are called right away.
