Real NOAA Weather Radio EAS Alert

5/12/11 Tornado Warning 2 with a TV EAS Alert of the same warning.

[@lightningbolt99999]

@statefairshows Yes, it was. Our digital cable box has an automatic EAS system built into it, but it screws up ALL the time, and it kept repeating the same flash flood warning over and over again, so that's what you heard was the flash flood warning going off for about the 100th time.

[@SFSEAS]

did your area get affected

[@1011gamemaster]

I dont know why but these warnings always scared the living devil out of me. They still do!

[@lightningbolt99999]

@EASpokaneChiefs Ya lol they always appear about 5 seconds after the alert is finished on the weather radio :P

[@SFSEAS]

Oh, okay. On your special marine warning video, near the end i heard another EAS sound. Was that your cable box`s eas

5:55 PM tornado warning down

[@lightningbolt99999]

@statefairshows Nope. We live in Cook county, so we weren't even close.

[@adrianjudesese7738]

This kind of shit freaks the hell out of me.

[@Mateoski97]

Wait, so it's not the NWS announcing it? It's just the cable box activating it on your TV when those weekly tests come?

[@GreenNekoProductions]

lightningbolt99999 Everything except DirecTV. Well, I don't know if it does black screen ones, but I was on the news, until the red bar came up. It had the EAS alert on it, so... Yeah you understand.

[@deadaccountguys]

I got the same screen... instead it's on Spectrum.

[@parkman35]

I'm in Will County and on Comcast as soon as ther weather alert radio goes off heh TV goes to EAS mode like yur did. I live 10 minutes from the NWS office in Romeoville...

[@CharlieRocksPiano]

I live in Lake County, IL, so I wasnt affected either.

[@lightningbolt99999]

It's Comcast, and pretty much all cable companies do this.

[@jennyshmit6172]

Wow just on time for the TV one!

[@moorek1967]

My cell phone sends severe storm warnings.

[@GreenNekoProductions]
