Whew, I can and I did already - it was late and my memory not all that great :) In my morning haze, I read that as “I bought the SAME weather radio..” so I quickly checked the manual to make sure I was able to turn off the flood warning alarms.

Last Tuesday night it went off almost a dozen times. I don't think ours can be set just for tornado warnings so we we're getting awoke for thunderstorm and flash flood warnings as well as tornado warnings for eastern Sangamon County, that were no longer a danger to us. I'm glad we have it, but I wish it could be set to just turn on the radio in the event of a warning, which is enough to wake me, rather than blasting the alarm for eight seconds first, which is enough to give me a heart attack and send my storm-fearing daughter into a total panic.
