The technology exists, but it is not widespread. Some places have it.

I work in emergency services. Any advanced warning is better than none or little advanced warning.

But my first thought upon reading this headline with my years of emergency services is: I wonder how this is being used to investigate bombings and pinpointing epicenters of incidents like that?

Went on a cruise this summer. Ended up sitting with a very nice couple from the Bronx at dinner each night. Get talking, exchanging where we are from and what not. The lady says “Oh Buffalo? I own property in Albany so that’s right there, right?” This statement was based solely on what she sees on thruway signs.

They keep saying “Upstate” but I really had to dig to find exactly where they are talking about. Onondaga County, outside Syracuse. Everyone in NYC thinks the rest of NY is Upstate. Syracuse is Central NY to those of us from Western NY, aka Buffalo.
