NOAA weather radio’s do not tell you the river state. They talk about rain. It’s utterly inexcusable that there are no flood gauges on the river connected to sirens.
And it would probably really piss you off if you saw the list of crap that county wasted money on.
We have one, and we get flash flood warnings regularly.
Do you even have a NOAA weather radio?
I replied on an earlier thread when the picture was posted of the actual NOAA weather radio, that I have had one for 20 years...in Metro Atlanta, we get warnings about everything; flash flood warnings, severe thunderstorm, hurricanes, tornadoes - you name it....It will sound warnings any time of the day or night with an unmistakable NOISE - pretty much like a firetruck siren on the way to a fire. If people aren’t paying attention or pooh pooh the warnings, that’s their problem but the WX radio definitely would have helped on Friday in TX.. No one would have slept through the warning! The briefings in TX today have talked about those radios and hopefully, they will be taken seriously.
We check river levels online.
We have a NOAA weather radio.
We see to our own safety.
There’s a thought.
