Reply #3: I took the batteries out of mine the fourth time it did a test alarm at 4AM

I can see testing it every so often, but four times in a row in the middle of the f**king night? That was after they gave up testing it at the same time every week - I think that was 3 PM on Wednesdays - and I ignored the tornado warning that went out at, yep, 3 PM one Wednesday.

While a weather radio that gave effective warnings would be useful, so far I have not found the current models as implemented to be better than nuisances.
