The NWS minimum warning area is for the county I live in. I want a

this area normally travel from the south West to the north East. I do
not want an alarm for the correct sounds moving away from my home.
This device would allow millions of people to work and sleep without

There _is_ no unique sound pattern -- I've seen one come within a
half-mile of the house w/ no noise whatever.

Watching your local Doppler radar feed is the best bet and your best
chance of somehow automating something would be to figure out a way to
tie into that feed and utilize it...which isn't all that bad an idea,
actually, now that you've prompted it.
