Weather Alert Reporting Could Be Better

A tornado in my area.

Specifically, it was spotted maybe as far as a quarter mile from my house. Fortunately, it was moving away from here, because by the time I tracked down the location (News4Jax reported it, but based their report on a tweet about a twister in Jacksonville… an hour before), it was headed towards Brunswick.

So that wasn’t rolling thunder after all.

I miss the old Civil Defense sirens. And my weather alert radio never did go off.

Added, 7/8/2021: And the EMS phone warnings finally came in 2 hours after the tornado was confirmed.
