Landfall vs VortexWeather

Built for the U.S. hurricane coast, from Texas to New England. Landfall turns the National Hurricane Center forecast into your family's hour-by-hour plan — and keeps the stress down while a storm bears down. Landfall requires a subscription — every feature below is included. BUILT AROUND YOUR HOME Tell Landfall about your household once — your address, your home's age and construction, pets, medical needs, an EV, a generator — and everything adapts to you: your tasks, your deadlines, your alerts, your evacuation guidance. No generic checklists. COMPLEX DATA, MADE CALM Landfall reads the forecast so you don't have to refresh six websites. The official cone, the spaghetti models, the watches and warnings — distilled into plain language, one clear number for your address, and one next step. So you can act instead of panic. WHEN A STORM THREATENS • Live NHC tracking: forecast cone, track, watches and warnings on the map • A countdown clock to when tropical-storm winds reach YOUR address • Every prep task gets a real deadline, worked backward from wind arrival — fill the bathtub, fuel the cars, move the EV out of the garage • Lock Screen Live Activity keeps the countdown in sight • Fuel, propane, and EV charging finders near you • In Florida: live shelter status, FL511 road closures, and FPL outage counts BEFORE THE SEASON • Run a practice drill: rehearse the entire countdown in June so October is muscle memory • Document your home room-by-room. On-device AI tags every photo and reads serial numbers — then exports a claim-ready PDF for your insurer • Know your evacuation zone (official zone maps in 12 coastal states, FEMA flood zones everywhere), plus king-tide flood days • A preparedness score that shows exactly what to do next EN ESPAÑOL Landfall habla español — toda la aplicación, incluidas las tareas de preparación y las guías.
