I definitely get the Amber-alert-style phone alert for Tornado warnings in my area.

I had to turn these off because they went off 5 times a day for large parts of the year, often at night. We get a lot of weird spot storms in northeast Georgia from the Gulf that seem to confuse warning systems. It was a choice between dying of stress and poor sleep for sure or maybe dying from a tornado.
Yeah I have all that alerting stuff disabled on my phone too. Way too many false alarms.
