Was watching the 9oclock news tonight and they were talking about how this morning in Iowa an Amber Alert went out on the weather radios about a missing child and there were ACTUALLY call in complaints from Iowa residents claiming "thats not why they bought a weather radio!" OMG! I am furious and disgusted with the other residents in this state! HOW horrible can you be! It was a CHILD MISSING! Wow!

You can bet if the alert didn't go out those same people would be complaining that it didn't.

I know I would have been complaining had I known that they decided not to send out the broadcast!  What if that was the ONE way that the child was found - some trucker driving down the road at 3am and hears it and then sees the kid at the next rest stop?!!?!?!?!?! ARG! Im furious - sorry I don't normally even watch the news and then this was on and since now I have a 5 y/o SD and a new DD on the way OOOOOOO if that was my kid I would CALL EVERYONE! at 3 AM just to find her!!!

Its not like it interrupted the last play of the superbowl. Its a damn weather
radio. They didn't miss anything. I doubt they'd announce it during bad weather. They'd announce the weather. SMH at assholes. Poor kid.
