Emergency Alert System Test

Nationwide in USA in about half an hour.

Just in case you didn't know.

Better not interupt my cellar access is all I can say.

How weird will this be?

Do I need to have a TV or radio...will it be over the webz?????

I'm frightened and cold.

jimhelm · 11-09-2011, 12:35 PM

so, all you terrorists that want to get an attack in while the emergency systems are being ignored.... now's your chance!

duh.

heehee

infinite monkey · 11-09-2011, 12:37 PM

Just like the tornadoes, on the second Wednesday of each month. Biding their time. Fuckers. I'm on to them!

monster · 11-09-2011, 12:41 PM

I don't hear the sirens usually -especially on windy days and it is windy this afternoon. And i don't have the radio or tv on ....will I know? Will i get an emergency email or FB message?

infinite monkey · 11-09-2011, 12:41 PM

Oh, just TV and radio.

Still, after all these years, we neglect to alert the po' folk.

Duty calls (hops on horse):

And I on the opposite shore will be
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm
For the country folk to be up and to arm.

I can't hear the tornado alarm at my house either. Unless it's sunny and 70 degrees and 0-10 mph winds.

Well that was dumb. I had I Heart Radio in my ear, and the same old squawky beep as the other, more local (?) emergency alert sound came on, then a noise like either the ocean, or a tornado, or a nuclear bomb came on for a while, then the ending squawky beep.

that was it. I can see how prepared it will make me.

the station I was listening to had just started the news at the top of the hour. a female announcer voice began "The nations emergency alert-beeeeeeeeep" T'was funny!

That's why they hire those guys to walk around the ghettos with the big radios on their shoulders.
