Western Massachusetts Severe Thunderstorm Alert (EAS) - c. 6/26/1999

Video Credits: Rogue StudioTV
An eerie but simple blue screen.
I am aware that this is not mine. The goal of this channel is to bring as many REAL alerts as possible into one place for the convenience of others.

I remember when my local NWS Office used Huge Harry as their voice. After the EAS attention signal, the voice would announce, "please stand by. An important message will follow. This is a special message interrupting the normal broadcast" before giving details of the weather bulletin.

you possibly don't know what the hell an EAS is. So carry on

[@8bits59]

He's talking about the digitized voices the NOAA uses. They were all named, the first one being Paul, the one featured in this video. You can find the others at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/info/newvoice.html

[@timothyparryjropen]

Perfect Paul was my life.

[@timothyparryjropen]

No, I believe you don't know what it is and how it works. He was talking about the voices that the National Weather Service used for their DecTalk machine to produce NOAA Weather Radio which is fed to the Emergency Alert System and what we are hearing here is the original voice called "Perfect Paul". Tom and Donna were the replacements for "Perfect Paul" and since then they have been replaced by an unnamed v.3 voice. Prior to "Perfect Paul" meteorologists read out the information in live voice.

Odd, the alert code in this one decodes to SVR. Had they not standardized the alert codes yet? Edit: apparently SVR is one of the few that don't use the W, A, E or S endings for Warning, Advisory, Emergency, or Statement and is totally standard. Oops.

"5 miles southwest" of what? I tried to find a town name that comes close to what he said in the video, and I cant find one. I deduced that its somewhere between Becket and Chester. Becket is about 12 miles SE of Pittsfield, and Chester is about 21 miles SE of Pittsfield. So, the town he said in the video would be after Becket but before Chester. "Pecker", which how it sounds to me, is not on the map. Does not sound like Chester, but that was too far.
