I have never once dropped what I was doing an rushed to a shelter unless forced to do so by overriding company policy while at my employers place of business.

If I am operating under my own accord if a warning is issued I normally find the nearest weather resource with active tracking of the cell to see if I should even care as warning are no where near targeted enough

If I am in path of the storm I then look to see if this is a confirmed or radar based warning, I then look to other sources (including visual outside) to my my own determination on if it is proper to shelter. 80% of the time I make the choice of Nope do not need to bother

I see, so at least you do check if the warning is pertinent to you. Our warnings cover relatively small geographical areas, so if we hear it then it sure is pertinent to us. But I understand that maybe your warnings cover larger areas.

Thanks for the detail. Here's to a siren-free week!
