I received the warning on my TV at 4pm & 3 local stations did not report until 4:25 & 4:30. Warnings never appeared as a text, usually receive those messages first. I live near the area in question & we were concerned about how to react! The biggest frustration was trying to read the warning as the spanish version was posted longer than the english version & it changed so quickly between the 2 languages that it was difficult to read. Seems as if someone needs to evaluate our warning process & consider some serious changes. Anyone know who is in charge of these warnings & how to contact please?

I’m in sevier county and I got one… also in my opinion they should have made the alert more detailed because I was confused on the location of the areas and had to google it
