Flood in a mountain area, in a narrow valley, means a lot of damage because the water has nowhere to go.those photos from your area after storm Alex are really shocking. I had no idea it had been that bad.

It sounds very similar to us, except for us the warning by phone is new, and it was automatically activated unless you refused- the first message sent a few months ago was a test and asked people who did not want to receive these warnings to reply.Happy you got just a heavy / normal amount of rain this time!
Its raining a lot here too for a few days. But not extreme.
We have 2 alarm systems in NL. One that sends messages to your smartphone (if activated) and we have an alarming sound in town (they test every month at a set time).
They say to go in the house and shut the windows and doors if the alarm sounds. Listen to the radio /tv of your province for info.
The app will give a warning sound and information what to do as well. And can be more specific. But standard they give the same instructions.
Most times its something like poison escape from factories that is responsible for an alarm. In such a case I rather get in the car and drive to family elsewhere than to ‘suffocate’ in my own house.
