Our weather radio went off Friday afternoon due to a tornado alert for NE Lake County. I don't recall seeing any weekly alerts on Wednesdays, for at least the last six months. We're in Sumter but we've always included the surrounding areas: Marion, Lake, and Sumter. Tornados are so unpredictable that we like as much advance warning as possible. It still amazes me there are people here (some of my relatives) who say they don't want a weather radio because it disturbs their sleep. Personally I'd rather be disturbed by a false alarm any time than by a tornado having seen the damage from the one here on 2/02/07.
