If you want to join, you can download the app and go to Settings->Sensors to enable.
Here's an animation I made of Hurricane Dorian a couple years ago as it approached the coast of Florida: https://www.allclearweather.com/hurricane-dorian https://www.allclearweather.com/hurricane-dorian
And of course, there are recent scientific papers showing that this kind of data (barometric pressure from phones) could be useful in general weather forecasting to improve accuracy:
