I was going to say damn your lucky if you think they dont use it. Ours goes off every few weeks during tornado season and even a really bad thumderstorm or winter storm from time to time.
Also gator is right they are freeing up the air waves for use by first responders ie the radio channel not having anything to do with tv other then the channel band it uses. They want to use that for a first responder based communications that does not get jammed up with civilian radio traffic.
