yes, thank you, any evaluation would be helpful...I do not have a city wide warning system for severe weather, so the SAME localized county warning will most likely be my primary warning....the weather warning app (text message) I have on my cell is also keyed to my home location...we typically get multiple funnel clouds spun off the same cold front...they are typically not very large, but on occasion we get something out of a wall cloud... we have excellent Doppler radar coverage, and coupled with GPS, the TV stations are able to tell you which street the waterspout/tornado is approaching...

my local NOAA transmitter is on 162.45mHz and is located about 25miles away...I get very good reception on the Midland 300 and it is AA powered if need be...
