How do you have your weather radio(s) configured?

I'm just wondering how you guys have your weather radio(s) configured as far as what county(s) it's set up to monitor and what events it is set up to alert you for and which you block?

I configured mine to alert me for my county only, and only for these events with a voice alert:

Blizzard Warning.
Flash Flood Warning.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
Tornado Warning (this one can't be turned off unless you turn off Alerts altogether for safety reasons).
Winter Storm Warning.

CL-100 with everything on. Weekly alarm silent but LED and message visible. Set to my local county plus next county over where I commute to work.

I would be so mad if I was woken up just for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. :)

Well I dont keep it in the bedroom. It is in the kitchen. So it's no bother. I've had it for 5 years. I think it has maybe woken me up twice in all this time and I live in Central Florida where we get some severe storms. But most of these bad storms seem to never happen in the middle of the night. In Florida it's just a late afternoon thing and then it's over. I'm not saying it doesn't rain in the middle of the night but it is hardly ever enough to trigger a warning.

Mine is set to 'Off' and configured on a shelf in a closet somewhere, I forget where.

For some reason our WFO was sending tones multiple times for the same event, even when that event was cancelled.  I got so tired of the bleeping thing bleeping every bleeping ten minutes I bleeped the bleeping thing.
