I did receive a call from the system at 1:59 p.m. today, warning about the severe thunderstorm possibilities.

Again, I'm going to ask WHY, WHY, WHY do TV fire stations not sound the firestation sirens if there's a tornado warning? This is what's done in all the other places we've lived, in various states.
Not sure they would be heard in all parts of TV. If you subscribe to Comcast for TV, there were alerts broadcast off and on this afternoon.
A weather radio costs relatively little and the nice firemen at any Villages station will program it for Sumter, Lake and/or Marion County(ies).
