I'll leave it at this. This ran on the air when the watch was issued. The EAS went off when the warning was issued.

I hope there won't be a next time anytime soon, but maybe next time someone will go on the air when a warning is issued and this whole thing can be past.

The tornado sirens will go off today at 1:45PM across the entire area for the state's Severe Weather Awareness Week drill. EAS will go off as well. Will anybody talk about Severe Weather Awareness on the air? Maybe during a newscast. When the sirens are going off? Probably not.
