[EAS] NWS starts sending WEA for destructive thunderstorms next week

Agreed Sean, But unfortunately a lot of people aren't aware of that.
They believe, either by indoctrination or cluelessness, that the SECC says "jump" and the station's only response should be "how high?"
Of course that situation may get worse when the commish starts hammering on the governors. The clueless, again will think this gives the SECC more clout. A few chairs may be emboldened to take advantage of that, the smart ones will realize the downside of that strategy.
You can only try to drag someone around for so long. Eventually they'll realize the leash isn't attached.

Amber alerts... yup! When it comes up I ask management: "If someone's kid never comes home again, do you want to be the station that didn't put out the alert?
