I have a question for those who had radios last week: When did they start alarming for a tornado WARNING (not a watch)? I have mine set to alarm only in the case of a warning since I feel that I don't need or want to be woken up in the middle of the night for a watch, which is all too common and immediate action is not required. I also have mine set for Sumter County only.
Last week, my amber "watch" LED lit up but the warning LED and alarm did not go on until well after the storm had passed by. Also, we never did receive any kind of call from the Sumter sheriff emergency notification system even though we have both of our cell phones registered. Whereas in the past both emergency notification methods were quite good, I now feel a bit more vulnerable to a middle-of-the night tornado.
