On Saturday, Jan. 13, at around noon, I was on my way to my local supermarket on Shore Road. The road, however, was closed due to flooding. Traffic was detoured and it took me almost 45 minutes to return home—a drive that normally would take less than 10 minutes.
I received no emergency alert from the ToNH. Had I received an alert, I would NOT have driven there. We used to receive alerts concerning extreme weather by phone, text and email. Now, we receive nothing! It is important for residents to know what is happening.
