I unfortunately had to turn them off because they aren’t properly geographically bound in Texas. I would get alerts to look for cars many hundreds of km away multiple times per week. Needs a better implementation here.

I thought that was intentional. If they've been driving for a few hours and their direction isn't known, that range makes sense. It's still an awful system, but the boundary probably isn't really a mistake.

(i bet that's some agency misusing the system)

Literally never received a single warning on my phone in Italy since smartphone exists.

Regarding the storm I mentioned; https://twitter.com/laurencomiteau/status/149470700312564941...
But yes, I've never seen it being used in any other country aside of the Netherlands either.
On the other hand, in Germany not even the sirens are working properly, so that's not very surprising to me.
There was a big 100mph+ storm a few months ago and they sent out an alert telling everyone to stay inside as there were literally trees getting ripped out of the ground and hitting people.
That was the first time I ever saw my phone use this functionality, scared the crap out of me.
Amber alerts specifically I have indeed never seen, ever.
