71. I'm literally a couple blocks from the Montco line

and shop there (plus have a sis living there) and I got a couple EAS alerts - a TOR and a TORE, both on my phones and on my weather radio.

A few years ago, the NWS implemented a way to narrow the areas for Warnings/alerts so that they weren't forced to do county-wide alerting where the hazard is only affecting a small geographic area. So you may have been just outside of the TOR & TORE warned areas. I had been hunting for how they characterized the way they designate their alerted areas and just found it - they use "polygons" to narrow the geographic boundaries of the alerts.

They also have tweeted out their alerts - e.g., this was one of the Montco ones (that also included a small portion of Philly) that I got an alert for here in NW Philly -

I did get a TORE on the phone but am not seeing a tweet for it (they were doing multiple alerts at the time including eventually doing Flash Flood Emergencies).
