deanoZXT User ID: 1287631 United States 02/06/2012 08:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Emergency Alert System (EAS) in the Seattle region is normally around 1am to like 4am. I'm up often and see it a couple maybe three times a month. This morning it was on at 7:30am on a Monday. Seemed odd to me, that is right in the middle of morning prime time TV. I have also noticed the "weekly" I would swear it used to always say "monthly". -Everything's more awesome when you lean into it. |

We need to be able to do it quickly and right for that one moment that may never come. So we are required to practice the process every shift we work. We have a test console that only sends the EAS internally. Once in a while somebody screws up and the message goes out to all 150K in our jurisdictional area. Ooops, my bad. Just guessing it's a routine test that is supposed to be internal but somebody screwed up. They're pretty easy to screw up. |
