One counterargument: without your current location, it can't send any weather alerts that immediately impact your safety.

The network sends those.

Because the cell towers are cemented in place.

Not that Florida's smart enough to limit Amber Alerts to relevant portions of the state. I'm down in the dick-tip. I've been rudely awoken by blaring alarms about a kidnapping up in the grundle.

I hope they send those alerts to people in Nashville, because they're all closer to Tallahassee than I am.
