I live in the same county as Jarrell, Texas. In fact I am only about 20 miles away. Google Jarrell to read about the two large tornadoes that have decimated the town in 1989 (a F3) and again in 1997 (a F5 with 27 deaths). Our county DOES NOT have sirens. Our county uses the local media for information and that is it. The only thing I must say is my cable company does have a pretty good thing, if you are watching DVR during a warning a red message comes up on top of your recorded program telling you the current alert. That is something needed since I rarely watch live TV.
I grew up in Texas, I know what to do. I am amazed at people who move here who do not learn what to do in a weather emergency.
