      Yeah if where’s the thrill if you’re just gonna be notified of nukes & nados like a wuss

      Also personally, prefer a 0.00% chance of finding a wandering elderly person or abducted kid to 0.00001%

      (If either feature were frequently abused that would change my calculus, or maybe if I had severe anxiety(?) or a critical sleep schedule or something)

      Edit: I mean this more lightheartedly than it sounds

      Search for “emergency” in your settings, I can apparently turn them all off (though I’ve never received one anyway)

        I finally went in and did this a couple weeks ago. We were under flash flood advisory and every time the end timestamp was updated, we got another “severe” alert. I didn’t need 8 very loud alerts going off over the course of a quiet evening at home.
