That's the way it is here. We live 3 blocks from one of two firestations in town here. It's sirens go off probably once a week.
Our alerts on radio and television seem like twice a month to me - might be wrong. But we get them for severe thunderstorms and tornados around here too so I usually wait a sec to see if it's a test or real. Usually though you have some forwarning if it's real so you're actually watching for it. I wonder if people would have just jumped on the freeway without checking had there been any other things going wrong or sirens going off.
