Every time they are issuing flood warnings they send each lake each river each swimming pool off on a separate alarm and do you know when they love to do this
in the middle of the night
this does make people turn off their weather radios
I know because I turn mine off which I know it is dangerous but it going off every 2 minutes non stop is annoying especially at 1 am in the morning
Not sure if I can explain this correctly. I don't think some of national weather service follow the S.A.M.E code instructions correctly. Flood warnings are to be issued
without the alert tone on a S.A.M.E. weather alert radio it would show an advisory. Flash Flood warning are to be issued
with an alert tone on a S.A.M.E. weather alert radio it would show an warning. The S.A.M.E. code instructions for the national weather service is/was downloadable on the web-don't have the web address.
You need to write that national weather service. Tell them the tone shouldn't be sounded for flood warnings. They still should issue a S.A.M.E. message but without a tone. According the manual, S.A.M.E. messages can be broadcast on a radio without an alert tone.
However, the old 1050 Hz tone maybe the cause of you getting the flood warnings for your area. That would explain why my national weather service doesn't broadcast S.A.M.E. message for a flash flood watch, winter storm, watch, severe weather statements, etc
Tip,
Check to see if you have another weather frequencies. You can use for your county even if it is controlled by another weather office. They might rebroadcast warnings for your area.
I don't know when the old 1050 Hz tone will be phased out.
