What ever happened to "The warning"

Hey, What ever happened to the warning that we all grown up with on the TV and Radio, In case of a emergency thingy??
We never got any warning during 911 or after or ever!

Kinda weird that they tested it for 40 years and then never used it!


Just a little grumpy today I guess. Maybe a question for the %$%$%$%$mister

That Amber ALert seems to work pretty well - TV, radio, and roadsigns . . . wonder how it differs from the EAS

We both must have some "free time" today

Yep, heard it yesterday on the radio. Used to hear it all the time when we were still afraid of the Russians.

I used to live in Everett years ago, and the firehouse a few dorrs down used to test their old "air raid" style alarm every Saturday at noon. The first time I heard it, I almost jumped out of my skin, but aftr a while, it was like having a clock that tells you when it's noon.

Post i can remember

being told to crawl under our desks to protect ourselves from a nuclear attack..... what a total friggan joke of an idea....
that truly is.... to give you an idea -> of the generated force..... of an atomic blast....there was this bridge in hiroshima, Japan.... that had a man's shadow embossed into the concrete as he vaporised into flames....the shadow spot on the bridge for that split second remained coooler and thus froze his image there....
