The National Weather Service will reduce the number of flood warnings they issue, starting September 16th. This is in the middle of hurricane season, so any flood warning after that date is a SERIOUS warning:
Preliminary numbers suggest that the new system — with a planned rollout beginning Sept. 16 — would pare down the number of warnings by about 80 percent, Mary Mullusky, chief of the agency's Water Resources Services Branch, said. The aim is to emphasize the most dangerous floods, as well as simplify the warnings so that they are easily understood and relatable for the people who receive them.
“People are becoming desensitized to the warning,” Mullusky said.
