This alarm doesn't play where I'm from, but I remember watching an American television station and this alarm went off when there was a suspected child abduction.
EAS alerts give me goose bumps. I remember the EAS when Hurricane Charley hit. I already knew about the hurricane, but there's something about those warnings.
I had a bad experience with that beep in 4th grade. It was near the end of the school year in summer (tornado season) and my teacher had the radio on to listen out for the broadcast. She heard the beeping, and the entire school had to sit in the hallway in the position where you crouch and cover your head. We sat like that for 3 hours straight , just waiting. And all I remember was it being dark, my classmates crying, and that beeping. Luckily nothing came, but I was so terrified.
i have dish net work and it never shows up wen there is a tornado warning and i get alot cause im in illinois is there a certin channel that does this?
that's because the North TX chapter of the National Weather Service (the people who issues severe weather alerts) is based in Fort Worth. other times alerts in our area are sometimes issued by the National Weather Service's National Storm Perdiction office in Norman, OK.
yea dish network does it. but im not sure if i saw it a dish network one or a television station one. cuz i was watching late late show with creig ferguson on CBS., and they tested it.
Would this like effect everyone or just the people who were in the path?
Also, is DirecTV going to do this? I have it and don't want it screwing my show. I'd get pissed if it was for somewhere in Calafornia and I'm somewhere in Maine! (I don't live in Maine. i live in ohio)
we had a dish amber alert the first day i had my dish,i was about to call and ask about it then it went off,i got it on my phone and i'm gonna post it
okay people that FREAKING NOISE IS TO ALERT PEOPLE AND THEY GO LIKE OMG WHAT IS THAT SOUND LETS FIIND OUT OH ITS A TORNADO WARNING OKAY!!!SO STOP THINK ITS TO PISS U OFF!!
Your wrong. All boxes know what zip they are in and the messages will be digital crawling text messages for a ser zip code. No problem doing it and the FCC requires it
get ready people with Dish Network. this will happen on a regular basis. for the weather bulletin or amber alert. the one alert type i pick to do this is an tornado warning.
actually, they do it around 7:30 or 8:00 but sometimes they do a "surprise" warning in the after noon but one time not to long ago it was going off every five minutes come to find out it was a real one for a thunderstorm warning which is weird for where i live ROFL
the reason why i asked, is because you knew about it, and i not an morning person, so i don't get out of bed to see the EAS Test on Dish Network channels, plus where i'm living at, we ain't had a lot of bad weather, just pure rain.
How could this be possible to do... unless someone knew exactly where your receiver is. No one at DISH really ever actually knows where the receiver is.
it DONT make sense to say "I'd rather move to the Northeast where we don't have to worry about Tornadoes" i mean what kind of a idiot would say something like that? because twisters are common in places like Sulffork County, New York. also, the Northeast has Severe Thunderstorms too.
well actually there different, in earthquakes you dont know when there gonna strike, so that really sucks, as for tornados, you can be warned before they hit. but ether way, those Emergency broadcast systems scare the shit out of me
that was the main reason the Goverment created the EAS system (under the name Emergency Broadcast System.) to warn us about an possible attack. the EAS didn't go off on 9/11 because the EAS system for NYC was in the World Trade Center. plus the US didn't really needed it with all the networks on TV showing what was going on that day anyway.
Ya, but it always says "The national weather service" And the EAS system was in the Trade Center? I didnt know that....but still, 9/11 and a nuclear weapon are 2 very different things.....unless a nuke was put into each tower but if thats the case, all of NYC would be ground zero.
Omg, over here in El Paso, we had 2 tornado's, and it happened during school. Didnt let us out though, and it wasnt rlly in the city, but still, El Paso has never had a tornado.
the voiceover says that for the area's not affected by the tornado part of the storm. or the area that will be hit, but that before they get hit, seconds before the tornado sirens goes off in the area in the path of the tornado
I agree with the Cable network operator to disruted the channel to bring the inportant notice for tornado Warning Alert... Beacuse the States of the cities has hit by tornado in the year. A tornado warning broadcasting system was be issue... Tornado can come anytime in morning,afternoon,evening and midnight anytime in anywhere and tornado will not tell us weather is F0-F5 tornadoes.
it on the Wikipedia page with the info about the Emergency Alert System and then click on the links of ogg files of the EAS and download all of them and convert them if you don't have a player to play the ogg audio files.
that sound in between the EAS sound and the Important info voiceover is the S.A.M.E. sound, it is for NOAA weather radio with the S.A.M.E. technology built in it. it makes it go off if the county you live is under a watch or a warning or both. i have one of these kind of weather radio and i love it better than the old weather radio that didn't have the S.A.M.E technology.
Also... to make it look authentic... DISH Network does not issue tornado warnings... the NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE issues weather-related emergencies. Dish Network only issues Required Weekly/Monthly Tests.
i was trying to make it to where the dish network was seen in it. and i know that the National Weather Service issues the warning but a while back duribng a storm event (before i got Dish Network) i saw Ch.29, a spanish language TV station show the EAS scroll for a weather warning when they have the EAS go off. they didn't say the detals of the storm besides the name of the type of storm warning. and they don't mention the national weather service in it.
and the part where they are required to do this, i haven't seen an EAS test on Dish Network outside local channels and on wikipedia, it said that Dish Network and Directv is will be required to do this beginning at the end of May (this month). and do you have Dish Network or Directv or Cable. please reply back with your Answer.
so thanks Geno2733 and Saxman1806 for giving me your comments.
Usually, when the NWS issues warnings, they put on a live feed of the NWS Radio after the Header Burst (First three tones of the EAS). My state (PA) pushed through mandatory EAS co-operation with cable and satellite providers ever since 9-11.
