Pinkie Diane Pie 217 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 (edited) Yes, it's impossible to watch your show when EVERYTIME that freakin' EAS, otherwise known as the Emergency Alert System, Emergency Broadcast System, ect. interrupts your TV. And you know what? That reminds me that we are facing the consequences of having very very very very very very very very bad weather. VERY bad. And that's why the EAS is important you guys. Sooooooo WATCH OUT!!! Edited January 26, 2012 by Pinkie Pie ●ω● Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twi Rubix 726 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Oh, god... I hate those things. I once left my TV with sound on while I was sleeping, then it came on, I nearly had a heart attack. It was really loud. I understand its supposed to get people's attention, but seriously! Today, it came on about 12 times because of Thunderstorm and Tornado warnings!

OH, YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS BUT...... *** Once, on one night, sleeping with Gummy, it was the day the nightmare came true, all true. I was sleeping peaceful at night when all of a DARN sudden, I was trapped in my imagination, dreaming off, and this REALLY HAPPENED. So then, returning to my story, I was in my dreams, and then all a sudden there this EAS came out of freakin' nowhere, a few minutes later I had awaken with a terrible fate, there is was on my tv, was a total EAS. Then I was waking RD up to come see, and she obviosly didn't see, she was also caught up in her dreams. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganaram Inukshuk 3,680 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 (edited) First encounter with something like that was when I was, like, seven, and it was a test. Needlessly turned off the TV for 1.5 hours. Have I encountered a real emergency? To date, I haven't. Where I live ain't that exciting...

83awsm 234 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Only gotten it once or twice, usually it’s for flashfloods when it rains after Cali wildfires. Otherwise that I haven’t seen it out here, we never get anything interesting as far as weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise that I haven’t seen it out here, we never get anything interesting as far as weather. We always get tonado warnings, a flash flood, but only I think about once or twice, severe storm warnings, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyreth 193 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 I've never had one in England. We rarely get any emergencies that warrant them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,330 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 I've never been this glad to live near the Equator lines At least we never had any need for this scary warning system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Flame 380 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 I hear them all the time on the radio, but I've only seen it interrupt a tv show once, for a tornado warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbiby 18 January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 my mom leaves the TV on the local channels all the time and in the summer we get all kinds of weather alerts like floods, severe thunder storms, and tornado warnings/advisories/watches. in the winter there are a few but they are rarer because winter storms are usually predicted a couple days in advance, it comes with the territory of living in New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Diane Pie 217 January 26, 2012 Author Share January 26, 2012 Yeah, well when I was yound I used to be freakin' scared of those alerts! Being scared is kinda fun, to me. PS: I love The Weaher Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttackWithHugs 0 January 27, 2012 Share January 27, 2012 I've heard them on the radio and the TV, but they're mostly tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,055 January 27, 2012 Share January 27, 2012 I've heard of it...I think. Maybe as a test. Never really been in one. The most dangerous thing I've been in on the east coast in my entire life was a 5.8 earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Diane Pie 217 January 28, 2012 Author Share January 28, 2012 I've heard them on the radio and the TV, but they're mostly tests. You're actually right. I had this secret once, that I had loved tornados. This time, not so much.. I got really scared of tornados that I started to dislike them. Yes, they are mostly tests. Everytime I hear them it just sounds like a real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
