This is what you need, then:

You can have it sound the alarm if a tornado warning is only valid for 1/9th of your county, and not be woke up for all the other areas in the county, nor the other counties around you. We have this and it is excellent. Get rechargeables and it will slowly keep them charged so it will always work when the power goes out.

Zero is going to be in Joplin on sunday? I’m going to be there sat. I’ll miss seeing him or at least breathing the same sanctified air. How shall I go on living?

Where are the Congressmen, women and Senators of these States and why are they not howling at the President to come to the aid of his OWN COUNTRYMEN?

Because they are aware that none of us are his own countrymen.

It finally got through their heads.

There is another good option for the awake hours and bad weather is happening. Get a police scanner and tune into the local Skywarn system on HAM Radio along with state emergency management and local law enforcement. Skywarn is volunteers who report to NWS tornado's on the ground usually using HAM repeaters. Usually there is a specific frequency in a given area where they report into. Those can be found on line.

Doplar is great but can't see one that is actually down. They may suspect it but human eyes verify. They along with any LEO or other agencies that might spot them can be monitored on a scanner. You can get up two a two minute heads up sometimes before the NOAA warning radio activates.

“Because they are aware that none of us are his own countrymen.”

A minor detail. /s

Can you imagine what it might take to break zero’s heart, other than, wait... there is no other than.

You cannot break zero’s heart because he hasn’t one.

I saw W’s heart broken over and over...over the suffering of Americans.

What MIGHT break zero’s heart? Nothing I can think of.

FYI, Tusclaoosa had about 400 missing for a week. It took a while to sort out who was at what shelter and who was accounted for. Once they finally got the Emergency Management structure going (one of the first places destroyed in TUscaloosa was the office for the local emergency management folks), within a period of about 3 days, that number of 400 dwindled to 1-2.
