To be fair, these messages we receive about impeding heavy rainfall links to the weather service which does group things into yellow/orange/red warnings, so you can see if it's actually so important or not.

But yeah, this is after the "EVERYBODY IS ABOUT THE DIE" sound alarm that triggers on everyone's phone at the same time, then you get see that they're warning about an orange weather warning, or something like that.

Is it ideal? Not really, but better than nothing. In Maresme-area we have serious flood-risk almost every time it rains, as it fucking pours when it rains, and the warnings seemingly actually save lives today.
