Wow is all I can say! After getting home from work tonight and driving through some terrible rain, 8 minutes later both my cell and home phone ring. I get the house phone, Jack (hubby) picks up the cell. Just as you hear Greg's voice come on with a tornado warning, hubby looks out kitchen window......and there it is!!!!!!!! Out past the rear of our back yard. I quickly gather all 4 kids from various rooms yelling at then to get into the bathroom tub...tornado in out back yard. I then go to where hubby is...we watch to see if it is going to come over the trees at us. We watch as it moves West here in Zebulon...looking as it heads towards the Mudcats stadium. When I am sure it is not coming for us..I get the kids to so they can see the awesome funnel cloud. Hubby takes some awesome pictures with his camera phone. This weather call is the best $8 we have ever spent and is the best anyone will ever spend. Unbeliveable how awesome to get the alert. My kids got to safety and we warned the neighbors. I am stunned at this service. What a wonderful, live saving tool this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks WRAL!!!!!!
