[EAS] Texas failed to deliver vital emergency information

state waiting for its own disaster to learn those lessons."

I have often pondered why teen-agers are, internally, driven to go out and
do things that turn out badly that their parents warned them would happen
....etc?
I suspect there is something,  in many,  that makes them want to repeat the
mistakes of others, but do it on their turf, before reaching the conclusion
that the 'other guy'(or parent) was right.
If we could - all - learn from the mistakes of others (without having to
repeat them) just think how much faster our society could advance?
Perhaps the bottom line is that stubborn determination to do it 'your
way......regardless'  at work?

Here in Washington State - I make it a practice to forward these stories to
our EAS Group in the hope that we can, indeed, learn from the mistakes of
others lest we repeat them.
Our next SECC Meeting will have the Texas issue on the agenda....Not to
spark a protracted debate, but rather to make sure that the opportunity to
advance is not lost.
