Angelia Frank, a middle school teacher in Nowata, knows exactly how valuable a tool this can be. When she lost her satellite TV signal because of heavy rain during a recent tornado warning, she and her family had somewhere to turn - live-streaming on her smart phone.

"I downloaded it and we went ahead and took shelter in the closet," Frank said. "I watched for about 5 minutes, until I could see that the storm had definitely passed."

Now, anytime there is continuous live coverage of breaking news or weather, you can watch real-time what is happening from your mobile device.

"I was watching exactly what was on TV, and it was better than using a radio because I could actually see the meteorologist, Travis Meyer, giving the report and seeing the live radar," Frank said. "So it gave me peace of mind.
