Warning! Will West Texans Get This Alert Today On Their Cellphones?

Cellphones. Can't live with them, can't live without them. For some folks, it seems as though their phones are attached to their hands at times. I mean why not, we get everything we need from our phones. The time, the weather, cherished photos, adorable videos, keeping up with family and friends on the socials, what more could you want?

How about alerts? These days we get all types of alerts on our cell phones, Amber alerts, probably the most familiar to everyone, silver alerts when an elderly person goes missing, and even blue alerts that warn residents that a wanted suspect is on the loose. All of these alerts are important but I can honestly say that for the first time the other day, I received an alert on my phone that I guarantee I've never seen before.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF ALERT ON YOUR CELLPHONE:

Only in Texas! With the wind gusts expected to be up to 35 mph today, this is the alert all West Texans could receive on their cellphones. I saw it for the first time a couple of months ago, is a dust storm warning alert in our future?

You know you're in Texas when your weather forecast doesn't bother with sunshine, rain or snow but WIND, which those of us natives know is its own season.

May is blowing in quickly so just as the alert mentioned, 'pull aside, stay alive!'
