American Red Cross launches Tornado App

This free app — available in English or Spanish — gives iPhone, iPad and Android smart phone and tablet users instant access to local and real-time information, so they know what to do before, during and after a tornado. The app includes a high-pitched siren and “tornado warning!” alert that signals people when a NOAA tornado warning has been issued in their area – even if the app is closed. An “all clear!” alert lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been canceled.

Shelter in place

Thunderground Storm Shelters, Inc., of Norman (www.thundergroundss.com) is offering discounts for Norman residents on underground storm shelters.

Cartridge World offers personalized services

On the heels of the recently announced superstore merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot, Cartridge World stores and other Norman-area retailers are offering personalized, expert services to businesses and consumers are welcoming new big-box customers.

Through April 30, 2013, Cartridge World stores in the Norman area are offering a special discount to OfficeMax customers. Any customer who shows their MaxPerks card will receive double discount rewards on Cartridge World products.
