So this is what the famed Verizon FIOS national EAS looks like. Very interesting!. Thanks for the upload!. Yeah the reason why it says it was located in DC was because thats where it originated from, and it branched out from there.
The test says "District of Columbia" because that was the FIPS code assigned to the EAN. Since there is no FIPS code the the United States as a whole, they used DC. Also there was indeed an audio problem as at our station in Portland Maine, we heard a test script read, but the audio was almost unintelligible.
@projectXBOX Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. About 30 min after, my screen blanked out again for about 5 sec with the EAS screen. Did the same happen to you?
At 1:20 the word test appears 5 times at once... They must really want to get the point across it's a test.

There was an audio problem on the Louisville radio station I listened to for the test.
