It did indeed. Happy (?) to report my new SAME-equipped wx radio did its thing and alerted to the new severe t-storm watch just issued for immediate metro area. Guess I got that FfxCo SAME code programmed in correctly.  ;) 

What model do you have?  Think I'm in the market, plus want to have one in our new camper.

Went outside the normal Midland variety I've purchased in the past, and picked up the Reecom R-1630 -- I've never had issues with several Midland models, but I went with this model this time because 1) has three separate "sirens" for advisory/watches/warnings, AND, 2) after the initial siren for whichever alert has sounded, the initial announcement on wx radio will play through, and then the radio will resume its previous state at the conclusion of the alert announcement (e.g., in our case, it will turn off). That last is a REALLY nice feature....I think most of the Midland wx radios will continue to play for five additional minutes after an alert siren (regardless of announcement conclusion), and then turn off....which isn't bad, but sometimes I just want to hear the alert announcement and then want the radio to turn off. The Reecom did just that, and I'm pleased with it so far.

Back to current events -- as @Kmlwx pointed out a short while ago, the southern end of this line may not pan out as watch-worthy, but it continues to look impressive for MoCo/HoCo. We've had some sunny breaks in the clouds over the past 1.5 hours here....we're currently at 73/59, and winds seemed to have already verified that Wind Advisory that wasn't due to go into effect for a few more hours....but we'll see.

Wondered how bad it got in your neck of the woods....I've heard Ballenger Creek mentioned numerous times over the past hour. 

My backyard mostly had wind and rain. For about 2 min have .44" in the station. Honestly it was pretty much like a gusty rain storm for a very short time.
