Illinois is awful with this too. I disabled Amber Alerts after too many alerts for someone in the St. Louis area when I'm in northern Illinois.

You, too? Fortunately, disabling those doesn't disable the severe weather alerts, and those have worked well for me, most recently in that July tornado.

Yeah I share the same experience in IL, I turned my Amber Alerts off after being woken up by one at around 2am for some incident at the far end of the state 350 miles away. Like you say though, the weather alerts have worked pretty well for me, too.
