Why not to reply solely on Internet Weather Data...

As mentioned a couole of times on this website and many others dealing with weather, Internet Weather Data can sometimes not be accurate. Right now Howard County and most surrounding counties are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch and the data stream from the National Weather Service doesn't show anything for our area. So if you were to check Kokomo-Weather.com, you would see no alerts. That could be bad in a real crisis. So my advice is to keep checking here but always rely upon live media (radio or television) for the most accurate information. Those places have humans in the warning chain and can check multiple sources and relay what is correct.
