I spoke to some people in Hawthorne who were literally working one building away from buildings it struck and heavily damaged. They were rather shocked, needless to say.

In February of 2005, a message went out across the state saying that an evacuation order had been issued." Ahh, okay so it wasn't 5 years ago. I had quite a generous cushion for error there. ;) “This is the second time the system has malfunctioned in two years.

I caught that in the morning before taking off for work. Had the radio on (1010 WINS out of NYC) during the drive just in case. I heard nothing, so I ended up assuming it was for the really bad weather that was approaching the area that day, but that didn't sound right. But the only time I've heard the EAS go off around here where it wasn't a test was for a tornado sighting. (There WAS a tornado in Westchester County, NY as part of the storm system, that wasn't until well after the alert.) You know, the more I think about this the more I remember something about this happening once before about 5 years ago or somewhere thereabouts...very faint memory. Anyways, thanks for the increased blood pressure, EAS. Yeah, I’m in Clinton, CT. I caught that in the morning before taking off for work.
