We need a new villain to justify a new war. Iran makes a good boogey man. It's gonna be hard to wean those defense contractors off all that money. Some 800 billion a year nowadays.

This is a pretty conservative area, maybe we won't be warned of impending disaster. 
Just kidding folks.

In order to minimize disruption and confusion during the EAS test, it is being conducted on November 9 because this date is near the end of hurricane season and before the severe winter weather season begins. The 2 p.m. EST broadcast will minimize disruption during rush hours while ensuring that the test occurs during working hours across the country.

The 30-second test of the emergency alert system was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, but it appears there were problems with the audio message. Some viewers reported seeing the alert, however, several radio listeners reported hearing nothing but dead air for 30 seconds. Others reported hearing a garbled message.
