A year or two ago, Alabama issued a state-wide "blue alert" when a
police officer was shot.  So my weather/all-hazards radio alarm went off
at 3am for something that happened 200 miles away.  I then disabled that
alert category.  I only have severe weather warning categories enabled
now (because tornadoes are a thing I do want to know about).
