Driving home from an errand a while ago, I heard the country station interrupted by the much-ballyhooed national EAS test. A few minutes earlier, the EAS tones were heard, but no message. False start?
At 1 PM CST, the tones came again - in the middle of a song. The normal tone sequence was followed by an extremely noisy, scratchy, and almost unintelligible message - all I was able to actually hear was the words "if this had been an actual...". The message was considerably shorter than the promised three minutes.
Well, if that HAD been an actual emergency, not many listening to that station would have had a clue as to what was going on.
Thankfully, our Dear Leader did not take the opportunity to hear himself on every radio and TV station, and all over all satellite services. That would have been a real disaster.
I saw no black helicopters fighting the snow on the way home. The only thing I missed was if Pandora would have been pre-empted for Dear Leader...
Did I mention it's snowing? About a quarter inch accumulation so far. So much for Algore's promises of glowbull worming...
UPDATE: My wife was watching satellite TV at 1 PM, and she says the interruption was clean and understandable.
