For those of you in "tornadoland" - I have an app on my phone called "PYKL3". It is a stormchaser radar app for android. Costs $9.99 one time fee - but it can pinpoint down to your location via GPS - and it puts icons up that show where there is rotation, hail and what size, and storm tracks, distance, speed, and movement. I use it to tell me when to run for the basement. Our sirens go off when there is a tornado 30 miles away - so saves a lot of trouble and hassle to be able to look and see what is coming. Nothing is 100% foolproof - but this is the best I've seen. I am a NWS trained spotter as well.
Not sure if this deal will work in Canada though..as it works off the NWS radars..
