I don't know much about the EBS and like others, i've heard it for years spouting off that horrible "LISTEN THIS IS IMPORTANT" screeching tone only to hear it is a false alarm, a "test" and they are practicing. I never really understood the practicing part. I've envisioned people "somewhere" running around in circles with their hands in the air pretending it was an Emergency and wondered if that is what we were suppose to do. Like we did in school for fire drills or something.

But, i will say this...

Last year we were hammered with bad storms and tornadoes here in the South. That EBS was blaring out like a preacher preachin on sin. I stopped, i listened, i heard, ....tornado take cover. I did. When i came up from the basement i had 6 trees in my yard down and stuff everywhere, later found out a tornado touched down less than 1/2 mile from my house.

I'm not sure what that EBS is about, but i know it is effective, or it was for me. I've been conditioned, i suppose, hearing it over the years even when it was just a "test".

I think it is a wonderful thing. The more info the better, even if we think it is not important. It could be important to someone.
