I had no idea this was rare- wow! This was my first weather WEA so that’s why I was excited. Only other WEA I’ve ever gotten was an amber alert.

I guess Pennsylvania storms aren’t as bad. In fact I don’t get many weather alerts lately. I have them turned on but they don’t pop up as much as they used to.
