Welcome

Hi, I'm 10 Connects Chief Meteorologist Tammie Souza and I want to tell you about a fantastic new piece of technology designed to keep you safe during severe weather.

It's an exclusive 10 Connects weather product that pinpoints warnings specifically for your home, not an entire county. WeatherCall has cutting edge technology that delivers the fastest, most precise severe storm warnings to your telephone, cell phone and e-mail at any time, day or night.

Information

Many counties in the 10 Connects viewing area are a thousand square miles or larger. Dangerous storms are often less than 200 square miles. In the past, severe weather warnings were issued for entire counties, creating uncertainty as to exactly where the threat really is. The National Weather Service (NWS) now uses a new and much more precise method to define a warning area called STORM-BASED WARNINGS that reduces the size of a warning area by an average of 75%.

WeatherCall combines this new, much more precise warning method with robust emergency telephone notification. Using computerized mapping, WeatherCall matches the danger area defined by the NWS with your address. If your address is within the danger area of the weather warning, Chief Meteorologist Tammie Souza will deliver the warning message to the phone numbers you register, and also send you an email if you provide one.

Hernando, Pasco, and Sumter County's combined 1,769 sq. miles are under a TORNADO WARNING.
The actual warning area is 336 sq. miles.
Only WeatherCall subscribers located INSIDE THE RED BOX would be notified.

Important things to know about WeatherCall before you sign up:

WeatherCall is a very precise storm warning service, which you can subscribe to for only $6.95 per year. When you register, your home or business will be assigned a latitude/longitude value which is stored in the WeatherCall computers, along with your telephone numbers and email addresses (if you have them). It is very important that you understand that it is your responsibility to provide as accurate a location as possible when you register.

• You may register up to 3 telephone numbers and 3 email addresses for each location.
• You may register land line or cell phone numbers.
• You may have the warning sent to a digital cell phone via SMS text messaging. For instructions, visit www.weathercall.net and click on the FAQ.
• You MUST provide a PHYSICAL STREET ADDRESS. Our system cannot locate Post Office Boxes, Mail Stops, Rural Routes, etc.
• Tornado warnings are mandatory. You may choose to also receive Severe Thunderstorm phone calls and/or emails, and Flash Flood warnings via email and SMS text messaging.
• When you register, click on the TEST button. Within moments, you should receive a telephone call. If this doesn't happen, re-check to make sure you've entered the phone number correctly.
• Make sure you say "hello" to make the voice-activated message begin.
• IMPORTANT: Make note of the incoming number of this test call. You should save this number as "10 CONNECTS WeatherCall," so it will display on your caller ID as an important incoming storm warning call.
