Test Tsunami Warning was interesting... 13 Nov 10:49 EST
« on: November 15, 2024, 10:33:07 AM »
Did anyone else's weather setup catch the [only a test!] Tsunami Warning on Wednesday? I'm an hour from the seacoast, but would still be concerned for those in the area, until I saw the list of affected areas started in Brownsville, TX and ended in Coastal Washington, hmmm. The full text of the alert after scrolling, scrolling, scrolling reveals "THIS_MESSAGE_IS_FOR_TEST_PURPOSES_ONLY" Whew!

Full-screen snapshot is likely too big (3.1 Mb) for low-speed viewers, so here's a link to it: https://contoocook.org/TsunamiWarnings-OnlyTesting-2024-11-13-10-49-09.png

In the words of the great Emily Litella: "Never mind."
