TorWind Gives back to Joplin Missouri

Natures Most Violent Storm... The Tornado is the foundation of why TorWind products opened its doors to educating and protecting customers in both the public and private sector.  The tornado is one of the most violent storms on Earth and in 2011 record breaking Killer Tornadoes have occurred. 

On May 22, 2011 a deadly EF5 tornado hit Joplin, Missouri killing hundreds and leaving thousands without a home. 

TorWind Products felt the devastation and the impact it had on the community of Joplin so during the months of June-November 2011 for every product purchased TorWind gave $2.00 to "Joplin Tornado Relief"

TorWind CEO, Barry Storms, presented a check to the "Joplin Tornado Relief" on November 28, 2011 in the amount of $212,000.00  Storms commented,   "Today we stand strong with Joplin in the rebuilding process and this donation is a small step to a major rebuilding of a tight community here in Joplin." 

In addition to the monetary donation TorWind donated 2000 NOAA weather radios to schools, businesses, and emergency personnel.

General Information on NOAA Weather Radio

    NOAA Weather Radio is a Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of  the U. S. Department of Commerce.  As the "Voice of the National Weather Service," it provides continuous broadcasts of the latest weather information from local National Weather Service Offices.  

 Weather messages are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and are routinely updated every 1 to 3 hours or more frequently in rapidly changing local weather. Most stations operate 24 hours daily. 

The regular broadcasts are specifically tailored to the weather information needs of the people within the service area of the transmitter.  Other specialized information, such as hydrological forecasts and climatological data are also broadcast.

 During severe weather, National Weather Service broadcasters can interrupt the routine weather broadcasts and insert special warning messages concerning imminent threats to life and property.  The broadcaster can also add special signals to warnings that will trigger "alerting" features on especially equipped receivers.

Codes for your area:  http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm

• NOAA Weather Radio serves as an alerting device for any life-threatening emergency, whether it's weather-related or not. NOAA Weather Radio, also called NOAA All-Hazards Radio, broadcasts information on chemical spills, forest fires, and terrorist attacks, in addition to weather hazards.
• Some types of NOAA Weather Radios, called SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) receivers, can be programmed to sound alerts for only the county or counties that you specify. This eliminates alerts that are for distant counties of no interest to you.
• Across the United States, NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts from over 400 FM transmitters on seven frequencies in the VHF band, ranging from 162.400 to 162.550 megahertz (MHz). The Paducah National Weather Service office now operates a total of eleven NOAA Weather Radio transmitters. The map below indicates the approximate coverage area of each transmitter, along with the frequency and call sign. The color shades in each transmitter area are not intended to depict actual transmitter signal coverage.

NOAA Weather Radio Q&A 

• When is the weather radio alarm tested? The NOAA Weather Radio alarm is routinely tested each Wednesday between the hours of 10 A.M. and noon, weather permitting. On the first Wednesday of each month, the alarm is also tested between 6 and 7:30 P.M. In the event of severe weather, the test is postponed until the first available good weather day. 
• How do I report a problem or outage with the radio transmitter in my area? Please contact us after visiting the NOAA Weather Radio outage website.
• What is the advantage of having a computer synthesized voice instead of a human voice on the weather radio? Check here for the how's and why's of the Console Replacement System (CRS) and its automated voice technology.
