If a flash flood had actually devastated your area, do you think you'd have the same stance on the alert

I was just as alert after the first 3 alerts as after the 8th. The additional alerts didn't tell me anything new, they just gave me alarm fatigue.

And yes, it was bad. Roads were flooded. Buildings were flooded. People were evacuated. People died.

there are generally actual alerts systems (that don't depend on expensive dodads) in areas prone to flooding.

Everywhere is prone to flooding if water is coming down hard enough for long enough.
