Free App to Report Tornadoes and Down Power Lines (mping.nssl.noaa.gov)

The mPing app is a user-reported weather service that is then made public for things like tornado touch down, power lines down, hail, severe rain, roof damage, flooding, etc.

I was looking for a free way to see what people are actually experiencing around WI, since the weather reporting has not been as accurate lately. Many apps are paid, but this one is funded through a university.

I have not yet reported anything myself, so please tell me if you have experience with mPing. I see others reporting as the weather evolves, so it must work on some capacity.

Stay safe out there folks.
