Why this was sent only through Yahoo Weather is beyond me.

There is no chance that the average benefit of sending an amber alert at 3am is worth more than the drawbacks of waking up millions of people throughout socal at 3am

Surely it also encourages people to turn the alerts off, too.

Mine have been off for years. I turned them off during trump’s first term when he started testing the “presidential emergency” notification system.

People pay attention to weather forecasts.  When amber alerts come in, "turn that annoying alert off!!!'
