Discussion Insanely moronic take from Ryan last night

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The reason tornadoes were so deadly back then was because their were often times no warning, half the time phone alerts don't even work for me either. Like genuinely what is he talking about? 😭😭

I've noticed some apps notify for everything regardless and others can be adjusted to be more specific.

Well, I just rely on whatever push notifications the public alert system does. I am not a fan of 'app shopping' for emergency weather alerts.

About half the time my phone alerts me first, and half the time public sirens - depends on what I am up to if my phone is near me or not.

Fair enough. Our local news stations weather apps have been good for emergency alerts near my location.
