Default Did your weather radio go off tonight?
Thunder woke me, and I got online to see where the storm was heading. I see that Sumter county is under a tornado watch, but our radio is silent. It appears to be working, but now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time it alarmed. I'm wondering if we should replace it. Did your alarm go off?

If your weather radio did not go off is it possible your battery backup has gone dead over time and during a brief power outage with no battery backup, the programming of the weather radio was wiped clean? Resulting in the need for new batteries and reprogramming.

Weather radio went off twice, loud enough to wake the dead!! Phone went off several times due to multiple APPs providing weather alerts.
