With all the storms coming through we have had a lot of weather alerts. My phone, my wife's phone, her iPad my iPad, and the home security system all start beeping or squawking and alerting us. Even the county wide siren system is blaring. All of that is OK.
The phone and iPads are concerned mostly with exactly where we are. The county system goes off if there is a warning for some part of the county, and that can be 35 or 40 miles away from us and not a concern for us. The security system uses the county wide alert system. So it start beeping and making a noise our dogs really hate.
So I called the alarm company. I told them I would like to kill the alarm system weather alerts, as we have multiple backups. First off, we are watch TV and the weather anchor gets all hyped up and starts the alarm, and the cable company then scrolls across his face with another alert.
The alerts are easy check, and silence, but the alarm system has a menu of icons to hit to get to the point where I can delete the the message and make it shut up.
The alarm system lady was reluctant to disable the feature, but I convinced her to disable it.
We have had many alerts for flash flooding, and if our house floods, it will be a biblical flood and the animals will gathering two by two.
So we sometimes have flash flood alert, severe storm warning, then a tornado warning of all those devices. Now we will have one less to worry about.
