Cyclone Alert Monitoring with Playwright and Node.js

This is a simple project that demonstrates how to use checkly and Node.js to build a real-time monitoring system for cyclone alerts issued by the US National Weather Service. The monitoring system periodically checks for new alerts in a specific area (e.g., a state) and sends an email notification when a new alert is issued. This project can serve as a starting point for building similar monitoring systems for other types of alerts, such as earthquakes, fires, or pandemics.
