I am one that does not need a second or third party to tell me when danger is apparent/threatening or imminent.

I do not believe it is the responsibility of some automated piece of equipment to alert me to potential threats....sirens for example work as long as one is in it's cone of sound...and it is working as intended.

Weather radio for night time I think is adequate....

I know I certainly do not need to be tuned in to a television station with a weather person in their moment of fame and theatrics about all the impending red graphics and watch boxes with street by street arrival times....ridiculous at best.

The Villages has more people who totally ignore threatening weather while on the golf courses than any place I have ever lived. Maybe they think they are macho when they are in fact acting very, very stupid.
