[EAS] How to log the Indiana Tornado Warning Error

[Mike McCarthy]

Hi Al,

What/who was the source of the garbled message which appears to have 
been a live TOR? Is there any reason given for how and what part of the 
message became garbled, yet allowed it to pass as a real alert?  And 
equally important, are there measures to prevent this from recurring.

While I appreciate the effort to get this release out and I'm not 
looking for anyone to get thrown under the bus, stations have a 
credibility issue with listeners when live TOR's are sent and it's well 
below freezing with clear skies.

Thanks...

Mike

It was simply a case where a garbled message was ingested by an alerting system provider and distributed according to the surviving message data header. There is no indication of fault on behalf of the alerting system provider.
