Title: Emergency Alert System
Post by: wpgh53fan on July 03, 2007, 03:42:09 PM
Does anyone else love when the EAS comes on? I get these goosebumps of excitement when I hear the loud tone. :)

C'mon....no one enjoys the tones? I love when the test comes on....I just hated when they interrupted Miss Cleo or Sally Jessy Raphael.

COOL! There's another EAS fan here??

I also hated it when they interupted Rosie O'Donnell, she was my other favorite. But I liked it when it didn't.

I'm not sure if he's a fan or not, but it seems like something he's probably interested in.

I don't know, do you? You don't know my phone number, or my school, or my address. Actually, you know my address.
I know my address. I know that my favorite color is blue, I am 5'6", brown hair/brown eyes, I am wearing clothes, I
like in Chicago metro area, etc.

I KNOW MYSELF!!!!!!!!!

I think its cool, but usually when it comes on during storms, the storms never even affect me.

I recorded a movie on my PVR and the EAS was on for the 2/3rds of the movie, it was a child abduction.. I would fast foward thru the EAS stuff and while going throw the movie would hit play to hear the status of the message to see if it was almost done all I heard was "in a diaper". I laughed pretty hard.

The EAS and the Weather Channel are two of my many fixations. The EAS is how I got to like weather in the first place.
