#NOAA / #NWS has been sending alerts for severe #t-storms with heavy rainfall and flash flooding most of today, covering much of #San_Bernardino County and parts of #Riverside County in !SoCal.
A couple of those alerts covered areas near me. My personal phone got alerted for #flash_floods, but my work phone (which was also with me) did not. This illustrates why people should get NOAA weather alert radios for their homes and other places where they spend a lot of time. (NOTE: Your $EMPLOYER may not allow you to set one up at the workplace.)
The alerts transmitted by mobile carriers are not dependable. In some areas, one carrier will have service and another will not. In other areas, multiple carriers may have service, but only one will alert. In still other areas, multiple carriers will transmit alerts, but there may be a few minutes between carriers.
They used to cost around $40 at Walmart. You have to find out the NOAA alert code for your county and enter it into the radio. Then, when it picks up the code, it will emit a loud beeping noise, then switch on the audio of the nearest NOAA weather radio station ... which should be describing the alert details.
In some places, the county-level alerts are not very helpful. San Bernardino County is one of those places, because the county is the largest in the lower 48 states, and covers an area from Montclair to Needles (multiple hours of driving apart from each other). But in most of the rest of the country, they are very helpful. For example, Wayne County, #MI (Detroit area) is relatively compact, so a weather alert there is likely relevant.

Someone from #NOAA / #NWS was in one of our weekly conference calls, so I asked whether they had considered changing their terminology from "watch" and "warning", because people often have difficulty distinguishing which level of alert is being sent.
The weather service employee said they are starting to move away from using such terms because they want to get their point across to the general public.
For example, instead of "there's a tornado watch in this area tonight", they're starting to say "there is a 40% chance that we'll see a tornado in the area this evening". The warning itself will still be a warning, but they're studying ways to tweak the content so that it communicates better.

#NOAA / #NWS issuing #tornado and severe #t-storm warnings for SE #NE and SW #IA and central #KS. If you're in #Nebraska or #Iowa or #Kansas, be sure your phone has weather alerts turned on and buy a weather alert radio.
I did talk to #Daddy_A and Mike/Ami/Jade tonight and informed them that severe weather is heading their way. These were regularly scheduled calls, but I was able to talk about the weather (and about the Brooklyn subway shooting).
Colby is also in that area, but I do not have a regularly scheduled call with him.

Winter weather, Winter storm, and wind chill alerts for parts of #NE, #KS, #MO, #IL, #IA. The alerts I received go right up to the state borders of #OK and #AR, so I expect there are other alerts valid for those areas.
Includes snow, mixed precipitation, wind, ice, extreme cold (-30F / -34C in central Nebraska), with extreme wind chills being mostly across the Northern part of the area. #NOAA / #NWS has sent at least 20 alerts since 04:00 Eastern (03:00 Central). Weather begins this afternoon / evening and continues through Saturday, possibly into Sunday in some areas.
If you're in the middle of the US, take proper care. This weather can kill, either directly or by causing traffic collisions.
