"As a mom with 3 children that are very nervous during storms, I want to thank you for providing the interactive weather radar. Last night I was able to access the radar to prove to my children that we were in no imminent danger from the storms and storm warnings that continued to be broadcast across the TV. Each time that dreaded alert tone sounded, my 2 little ones began crying! After seeing their hometown on the interactive radar, they were able to calm down and rest! Thank you so much for making that available!"
