The EAS kicks in as the National Weather Service upgrades the Tsunami Watch to a Tsunami Warning for the San Francisco Bay Area. Early morning March 11, 2011
Never thought I'd see this here in the Bay Area.
Thoughts and prayers to all those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
@coffeeandsugar20 I wanna go work at the NWS, just so I can start warnings.

@cookingboy3 Got the message from the NWS, which in the SAME header said The national weather service issued the warning.

@coffeeandsugar20 Because, a Broadcast Station or Cable System with an EAS transmitter got the message from the NWS, and they, doing what they agreed to from the FCC, send out the alert. Gotta go now, my screens screwing up.

Funny, I think only the newer boxes do this. We got one hooked up a few months ago and during a Tornado warning last week, our box locked out and went black like this, and my mom who lives just downstairs with an older box had nothing.

@coffeeandsugar20 Probably cause the NWS asked them to relay the message.

But, why does it say Broadcast Station or Cable System? My friend recorded an EAS Alert Tsunami Warning and it said National Weather Service.

This is pretty special and rare to see a Tsunami warning issued by Comcast... Pray for Japan =)
