Cool

Code Red Alert.... The system is capable of calling 50,000 phone numbers an hour. So, depending on when the tornado warning was issued and rescinded, it's possible they didn't get through all the numbers.

Would be interesting to know how many phones they have registered. I don't think Code Red Alert is something you can depend on to alert you of impending, fast moving storms.

Last year, it worked for me about 50% of the time. A couple of times, I got the call after the storm was completely over,

Cheers....
