I believe the Fire Dept will program a weather radio for Sumter and the surrounding counties. Our radio did not go off for the storm Saturday afternoon but we did have numerous warnings for Marion county I believe Friday evening.
My suggestion is to at least have Sumter, Lake, Marion and Citrus counties added to a weather radio. Better safe than sorry.
