Got a weather radio several years ago as we are prone to tornadoes in spring/sometimes fall. BUT problem is when you hear the alert and "drag" yourself out to hear, it has always been about an alert maybe 50 miles away! That may be metro ATL or this particular radio, but I lost faith. Haven't heard the alarm in a while as I think power outages have rendered it "inactive." Better get out the manual! If there's someway to make it more specific, it would be great, but I suspect the Nat'l Weather Sevice in the area is just too broad!

The FL video is just heart-rending; all that new construction allegedly built to withstand hurricanes was just blown away! I grew up in Miami and with hurricanes, there was a warning; tornadoes = no warning and that's what makes them so frightening!!
