Miami Emergency Alert System: Turkey Point Meltdown

[RingsOfSaturnBlockL]

I live less than 50 miles away from Turkey Point. This would scare the shit out of me.

what did you use for the voice?

[strangelove262]

@pollyisagoodbird 'mike' from at&t labs voice-to-text site.

[pollyisagoodbird]

@strangelove262 I'm currently making my own EBS bulletin, I never realized it'd be so tedious, especially because of the 300 character limit.

[strangelove262]

@pollyisagoodbird yeah, it can be a bit time consuming but the creep factor is worth it :)

[pollyisagoodbird]

@strangelove262 one more question: how'd you get the voice to sound muffled? I'm currently using Audacity.

[strangelove262]

@pollyisagoodbird i edited in Adobe Audition 1.5 and used some of the filter and compressor features to make it sound like it was coming out of a small, cheap speaker. I don't think that comes standard with Audacity but you may be able to find some plug-ins that will do the job.

why can't we bring our pet?? just asking

[strangelove262]

@saralavedure17 mostly for reasons of sanitation and space, though during hurricanes there are a few pet-friendly shelters available. I'm not sure if they'd do the same for an emergency such as this.

why not make it downloadable so then i can scare my buddy like this :3

im moving back to homestead, and i must say, i have always feared hearing something like this.....*nervous*

[firealarm211]

"You may not bring your pets"....heck, i'm takin' my dog!

Nitpick: If this is localized to southern FL...then an EAN wouldn't be the way to go. EANs are for national emergencies. A Civil Emergency Message (CEM), Radiological Hazard Warning (RHW), or a Civil Danger Warning (CDW) would work best. Also, the interruption of programming would likely be requested by local police or government.

actualy Miami is safe from the plume contamination but food and water shouldn't be injested. The 10 mile radius is the worst area.

[EASJeffC]

Pretty damn spooky... And quite good. Not a situation I'd want to be involved in.

The somewhat chaotic timings of the updates and announcements adds an interesting element to it.

[EASvideocreator]

what voice is this?

[easalert88]

@EASvideocreator, AT&T Mike.
