Down here on the Coast, we’ve been watching the radar all day and cringing with all the tornado box warnings.

Up in north Texas, part of that same front moved through late last night. Short duration but very intense.

Later I noticed an "EAS" message code on my cable box, but I couldn't view the on-screen message. The stupid Emergency Alert System broadcast locked up the tuning box so hard that it was showing an Operating System error code on the TV. It took a hard reset to clear it.

I hope the alerts worked better in the H'Burg area.

Good grief!

As much as those EAS systems are “tested,” we would think they would function when needed!
