Makes sense there too when you consider the lack of basements/availability of solid shelter for that region of the country as well.

This is a huge area that needs improved IMO. Unfortunately without legislation I don't think anything will happen. Google Home devices, Roku, Fire Stick, Chrome Stick, Alexa's. They all know your location, there is no reason they shouldn't broadcast something when a warning is put out.
He got a lot of **** because it is terrible advice.
In the 1999 Moore F5, 1 person, of the 100 that were in homes rated F4 or F5 damage died. 1%
"Get underground or die" is a myth. Even in F5s, in Oklahoma, without basements, it's better to be inside than in a car or exposed.
BUT, 35 people died in other places that were not F4/5 damage. Including 3 trying to hide under an overpass (another very bad idea). Some of those that did flee their homes in this study fled for overpasses. Putting yourself in the open and risking a track change, new development, traffic jam or other obstruction is making your odds worse.

If you're in a mobile home, or manufactured home, yes, you should obviously leave for your shelter, (preferably before there's a wedge moving in) but mass evac, and putting people in cars is increasing bad outcomes quite a bit.
Now that makes sense
This article says the woman was on her way home from work. Not exactly out getting groceries.
My Alexa gives me NWS notifications. Granted, it just pings a notification and you have to tell if to play the notification, but better than nothing.
Regarding satellite radio, etc. seems this is kind of a "be careful what you wish for" thing. People didn't want their listening to be interrupted by commercials, etc. and to choose what they want to listen to. If you choose no interruptions, you should get no interruptions.
Exactly why I agreed with him buy not fully.
Same reason I use spotify, just music no interruptions
Her employer should be held accountable then. No reason they couldn't have let her go earlier.
Her line of work doesn't really have a track record of any sympathy to their employees so that doesn't surprise me.
You're just Mr. Jump to Conclusions aren't you?
There was reported tornadic activity south of the Duncan Iowa area. That would be a general path from greenfield to McIntyre. @Al_4_State would those line up?
