I've already turned them all off in settings so at least it doesn't give me every warning across the metroplex, but I can't turn off alerts for my immediate area or amber alerts. I'm trying to mess with the weather app settings now (it's a galaxy s5, btw).
My dogs defense mechanism to the thunder is to sit on my head. I guess that's where he feels safest, but a 40 pound furball attempting to sit on you isn't my favorite way to wake up.
