[EAS] San Jose CA midnight evacuation order

[Eric Adler]

An aside on this, John, when we had a tornado impact part of our coverage area we had a power company telling folks to check radio stations with battery operated radios for more information including restoration estimates and where to find bottled water.  I called them to see about a restoration estimate and was told to check with a local radio station - it took way too long (in my personal opinion) for the person I was speaking to to understand that I was calling on behalf of such a station and that no one could listen to us (or the other stations in the area) if we (they) didn't have power and that the stations couldn't get information out that wasn't being provided.  Luckily our OEMs are better than this power company.
