Lots of tornadic activity and warnings in NWO. People are taking these warnings seriously these days, ever since the Lake destruction last year. Forecasters are saying there is a high probability of some pretty destructive hail and funnel clouds.
What's interesting is that, if you were watching the news with specific details about your area, the Emergency Alert System came on around 5 and literally took over the television, with no options to watch anything but that.
This sounds like a great idea, except it was a good minute before anything came on; while specifics about tornadic activity in Wood County were undoubtedly being announced on the local station, residents in the tornado warning area were treated to...nothing. Then two minutes of a one message screen with no specifics other than the county name. Then another screen.
There has to be a better way than that for an emergency alert system.
