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.
Those other places you lived had a siren system. All placed so the population could hear them. Our fire stations are not located to accomplish full coverage.
Do the stations even have sirens?
After the tornado hit TV there was much talk about a siren system in Sumter County.
