Answers:
You will requirement to find out who the ham radio operators are that live contained by your area and if they also hold GMRS/FRS radio to talk to you on, and if they are likely to relay wx information to you via GMRS/FRS.
But, if you get a ham radio license yourself, and equipment, next you can directly talk to other hams directly on the ham band. You need to bring a license first (contact the nearest ham radio club). You can't talk to hams on ham frequencies near a GMRS radio. The weather situation is already being handle quite very well by hams in Texas already.
