    I saw a story about a guy who received the alert as he was trying to climb onto his roof because his house was flooded.

    But in all honesty, I usually ignore flash flooding alerts too. There are just so many false alarms.

      Which is also part of the problem. If they’re cautious and issue “too many” alerts or are “too alarmist”, people ignore them.
