7 ways an Amazon Echo can help you in severe weather

No matter where in the country you live, chances are you get hit with severe weather every once in a while. In New England, it's nasty Nor'Easters and blizzards, while tornadoes are a greater threat in the Midwest and South. Plus, just about everyone is subject to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms from time to time. When severe weather is headed in your direction, you're generally forced to hunker down at home (unless you're supposed to evacuate, in which case, please do so). As long as your electricity and internet are still working, though, your Amazon Echo can help you weather the storm!
