Tomorrow, Today...

Recently early season severe weather ravaged through the mid section of the country. Unfortunately several people lost their lives. During the news coverage, one interview caught my attention. A distraught resident was upset that the community warning siren did not wake them up. Many people take the sirens as THE warning tool when in fact they are only outdoor warning devices meant to get people inside. Many of our homes are very well insulated and outdoor sound cannot be heard, let alone when someone is sound asleep!
 
People need to think of how they will receive severe weather or other emergency notification especially in the middle of the night when our televisions and computers are not on. In St. Clair County, the AlertFM device serves that purpose and can be purchased at several local retailers. There is no guarantee that any device or early warning will completely protect you yet several lives may have been saved if effective warning systems were available for those who choose to protect their own and loved ones lives. Don't wait ..... Be Ready St. Clair County!
