WJXT Hurricane Tracker

Channel 4 was great (as usual), keeping us updated on Dorian constantly here in N E FL! My only suggestion would be to include areas of Fleming Island more often, as we’re just across the bridge from Jacksonville. Been preparing for hurricanes since before Dora in 64. No electric or school for 8 days & my brother & friends got around in a canoe in our neighborhood where we grew up in Riverside. Don’t know why they named the storm Dorian because it seems like all the D storms are bad (Dora, Diane, Donna etc) During Dora every teen was only worried the Beatles wouldn’t be here on their 1st American tour😂! They brought them in by helicopter, so the show went on as scheduled! Thanks for all the great reporting! Diane C Keniston Fleming Island

Finding out when a hurricane is coming, its Category and finally its strength is imperative. Being prepared can mean the difference between life and death. This app updates every hour - at least when hurricanes are in the viewing area. This is especially helpful when you're out getting supplies and don't have access to a TV for news updates. I'm not sure if it's showing the European model, the US model, or a split of the 2. Regardless, it was closely on track.

This is the most complete storm tracking app I’ve found so far. I live in Florida and I highly recommend anyone in a storm prone area to download this app. It has shown me the most information in a user friendly app. I especially like the “Tropics Watch” aspect. This shows you the areas and the percentage that the area has for a storm to be born. I love this app.

For full disclosure, I work for Channel 4, which produces this app. But even if I didn't, it would be my go-to source for all things tropical. The tracks and information are easy to understand and update immediately with each new release from the NHC. I consider this app a must have for anyone living in Florida or other tropical-system prone areas.

This app should be on every device available to anyone who lives or cares about individuals who live in areas prone to hurricane effects. It is kept current and contains information organized in an easy to access format. Should be part of every hurricane kit.
