Recent improvements in how the National Weather Service defines warning areas have resulted in significantly higher accuracy and smaller warned areas, compared to the decades-old county-wide warning method. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/sbwarnings
The WeatherCall® system continuously monitors the National Weather Service's NOAA weatherwire. Using computerized mapping (GIS) the system compares a subscriber's specific location to the location of the warning area. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist Riley Fannon, 24 hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed map of the threat or by SMS text messaging.

Based on one physical address, this service alerts for tornado, severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings (email/text only). It allows up to three phone numbers (with associated text messaging if mobile) and an additional three email or text messaging contacts. All of this for $9.95 a year.
This service is for one smart phone as it uses the phone's geo location service. When launched you have the option to be alerted on tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood and lightning (with an all clear). The three levels of service are NWS (National Weather Service alerts only), Lightning alerts only or a bundle of both.
