- DOCUMENTATION ON RECOVERED FOOTAGE
Title: “Unusual EAS Alert 6/25/1999”
Tape Creator: Resident of Moorhead, MN
Date of Origin: 06/25/1999
Broadcast Origin: National Weather Service in Grand Forks, ND
Recovery Date: 09/14/2015
Recovery Location: Yard sale in Lincoln, NE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The tape containing the above footage was found by Agent “Bolide” at a yard sale in Lincoln, NE as part of a routine yard sale check operation. The footage is of a home recording of Station 4 KLSE-TV (a National Broadcasting Network station local to Fargo, ND), who was broadcasting a rerun of Arthur during the time the footage was recorded. During informal questioning of the seller, they claimed the tapes being sold were blank and had not been used since their purchase. Nine (9) VHS and two (2) Betamax tapes were purchased from the yard sale, and of these, three (3) VHS tapes and one (1) Betamax tape were found to have content. The above footage came from one of the aforementioned VHS tapes.
While the recording itself is non-anomalous, the severe thunderstorm warning contained therein is suspected to have been associated with an anomalous weather event. The warning originated from the National Weather Service office in Grand Forks, ND, and was most likely broadcast from station WXK42 in Fargo, ND. For brevity, only the portion of the recording containing the severe thunderstorm warning has been uploaded here.
The unusual wording and duration of the featured warning suggests that a Type-IV supercell had formed at the time of broadcast. However, radar and satellite imagery, as well as records of warnings issued by the National Weather Service, show no evidence of this event occurring at the date and time indicated by the S.A.M.E. codes. At the time of this writing, no known reports of an accidental EAS activation or intentional broadcast intrusion have been found.
Further investigation into this event by Minerva personnel is ongoing. Updates on the investigation will be provided as information becomes available.
THIS REPORT WAS WRITTEN BY “BOLIDE” AND APPROVED BY THE MINERVA ALLIANCE ON 09/16/2019.

Oh I see. I think they confused "severe thunderstorm warning" with "the most frightening end of the world scenario possible warning"
No, thats the nut
@Henrystrikesback Long time no see lol
Because panic is going to help keep them alive. Yeah right
@@dennyfrontier lol
You mean Civil Danger Warning
1:49 hold on what? NO shelter above ground can protect you? Sounds more like a nuclear bomb than a thunderstorm
Or, like I mentioned in another comment, some kind of interdimensional eldritch monster. Most likely the monster one.
whateverami isback actually thought by the NWS as a Type IV (4) supercell but called off as the thing was only favored in conditions of the Type IV. yet it was confirmed but soon falsely confirmed safe later.
Well... that's the best of nature my friend
or an EF5 TORNADO
@@CFRoblox they would tell you if such a destructive tornado is coming, but for some reason it did not mention a single tornado in this "storm."
Little Jimmy just wanted to watch an episode of Arthur..
Too bad, now go underground and wait until morning.
Little Jimmy Now has to wait an hour.
Little Jimmy just watched his last episode of Arthur.
Now he’s dead
What about timey
EAS: Take cover now, severe thunderstorm warning, nothing can save you
Arthur in the background: 💃💃🎉🎊😃🥳💃💃
IKR XD
🎤And I say hey!
*Emergency alert message plays*🎤
Lmao
that's one good way to end a song
It should’ve been “And I say” *alert plays*
Lol 😂
XD
imagine watching this as like a 4 year old with no concept of whats happening
dude im watching this as an adult and have no concept of whats happening here lol
I actually was 4 years old at the time.
My first memory of the EAS was when I was watching Dragon Tales years ago when I was only like 4 years old. The message scrolled across the top of my screen in black ticker tape very similar to what's in this video. I remember nothing of the alert itself (other than it was the TOM voice, not the Paul voice in this video), but given that there was no severe weather in my area on this day, that means either the severe weather never hit my area exactly, or it was an Amber Alert.
Weird thing is when the EAS went off, the program stopped, it was a freeze-frame until the EAS ended.
I WAS a kid and something similar had popped up like this. I was creeped out but ever since was intrigued by the weird creepiness of it.
My first memory of something was when I was like 1.
Basically I was chilling with my 13-yr old cuz (who was about 9 or 5 at the time) and the whole house just randomly blacks out and that’s all I remember..
“No shelter that is above ground will protect you from this storm, regardless of it’s construction.”
“Block all entrances to your shelter.”
“Do not leave your shelter until the warning has been lifted.”
Evacuate to the north or south as directed by law enforcement.”
“Warning has been issued until 8:30 am tomorrow.”
This... this is no storm...
I think it‘s a Hurricane, but if there wasn‘t a hurricane, then I don‘t know what this is...
@@stormchasernichtpit1493 This emergency alert was issued in North Dakota which isnt a coastal state it's in the northern us it would be impossible for a hurricane to happen in ND
*EF6 INTENSIFIES*
@@stormchasernichtpit1493 more likely a tornado, or.. revelations.
@@stormchasernichtpit1493 ... it says it's a severe thunderstorm - and in Minnesota. How did you get "hurricane" out of that - better question, how did you and 5 OTHER PEOPLE get "hurricane" out of that?
"No building can survive this storm regardless of its construction"
this can't possibly be a storm!!
it was probably a weird transmission code
I think it’s fake it looks like he is using a vhs effect
It's possible that it's a fake. Alternately i've heard similar NWS warnings for large tornadoes (EF4/EF5 level), so it's possible somebody screwed up and input the wrong message.
@@R3volutionblu3s dude it looks like he is using a vhs effect and also makes the sound quality worse im not saying it is fake but i feel like it is.
@@BabySonicGT ...yeah, obviously. This channel is all about fake creepy things that look like they're from VHS or public TV. That's the appeal of this type of fiction.
so... what this EAS is saying is that, a ditch will protect me from this storm but *no* above ground shelter can protect me?
yes
The Razor Tooth Leprechauns that the storm will bring are afraid of ditches for some reason.
They will happily devour above ground structures before they devour YOU!
Deep ditch
The mines will protect us brother
100th
EAS: "This thunderstorm is dangerous! Take cover now!"
Tornado Alley Residents: "...That's all?"
As someone that lives in the tornado alley, I can confirm that I don't care when there's a thunderstorm
pecos hank: hold my beer
If there was a thunderstorm and there was an emergency brodcast about a world ending meteor we would never know, we wouldn't have watched the entire warning.
As I live in Nebraska, I can confirm this
EAS: this is a test of the emergency alert system a goat wearing a purple dress and a goat wearing a crown and arm are trying to get this kid so whatever you do, lock your windows and doors, if you stuck outside, find a shelter, if you have a loved one or your friend, try not to search them, just stay inside immediately, make sure you have a radio battery pack.
Until 8:30 AM *tomorrow?*
What kind of a storm is this?
I have no idea, but it doesn't sound like a normal storm.
NitroFury *hurricane*
“no shelter above ground can protect you from this storm, regardless of its construction” “Evacuate now” Something about this “storm” doesn’t seem like a storm.
A category five shitstorm
@CalcasieuContent The region the warning falls on is away from the east coast though
1:48 Arthur is telling you this part
Eagle 50 lol
o h
Lol
thanks I hate it
Holy crap, I cannot unsee that now! 😂😂😂
do not look at the sky
do not make any noise
do not give off any unnecessary heat
But most importantly STAY ALIVE
Captain Cookie93 that would be a
Creepy eas
Ah the phenomenon. I see you’re a man of culture.
@@nykster1014 what's the phenomenon?? I'm so curious!!!
@@hotaruishere2133 the phenomenon is a book written by a redditor. Its popular among the eas community because the survivors mostly find out what's going on thanks to the alert system. A few eas has been made using the phenomenon scenario. Op just quoted part of the alert used in the book.
Most importantly *DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE OR TAUNT STORM*
Thought I was watching local 58
so was i
mood. or like I don't know how but they found me's album
Local 58 doesn’t have Arthur
@@Moctezuma92 if it was in the same universe that Arthur existed in, then it would
Same
1:49 Most perfect sync ever.
I think the part that make this more eerie is how Authur is still silently playing in the background, sort of adding a feeling of wrongness. Another part is how descriptive yet somewhat ambiguous the warning itself is. Analog horror series usually just have a warning say that there is a storm or something happening, but here the warning is telling you the areas where the storm will hit, the time it’ll last, and how you may possibly survive the storm. There’s also the fact that the wording of the warning implies this is something more than a storm. Great work here!
your comment is scary ngl
Arthur playing silently in the background isn't unusual. It's normal for PBS stations to mute the audio and run a banner at the top of the screen while still continuing with the visual portion of the show when the EAS is activated.
@@Trainlover1995 yeah, I watched a lot PBS as a kid in the early 2000s and that felt completely normal. It’s a little funny to me that kids today would find that part scary, but I suppose the unfamiliar can often be scary
Like how it cuts to Arthur shouting 'hide!', right at the very last second. Well done.
He yells "hey!"
They are telling us to take cover in a storm drain during a severe storm
🤦♂️
That Guy Gaming well, taking in the information that NO shelter above ground will protect you, it’s something a LOT worse that flashes of thunder and water drops
As a lil lad/toddler (2-4 years of age), this was my earliest memory of being absolutely terrified of the emergency alert system each time there was a severe thunderstorm warning from june til november or blizzard warnings during the winter months. That original voice for the wxk42 eas broadcast freaked me out real bad hearing it on a tv thats at 25 for volume and mind ya my family bought the real big tvs that had loud speakers, so 25 really felt like 75 if you were sitting literally in front of said tv or on the couches in the living room. Imagine that terrifying some poor kid. Yet ironically i could watch the movie twister religiously from that age…
“And I say hey! An EAS alert today!”
"And we can learn to run away! From the rain and hail and thunder!"
@@jacobcasler8684 oh my god perfect👍
@@jacobcasler8684 is that a line from acdc
"No shelter above ground can protect you from this storm, regardless of it's construction"
Damn, you sure this is a storm and not just a promotion to join the cemetery?
AND I SAY- *BEEEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEP UHHGSSSSHYUAQJYQHYUUHYQ*
ow my brain
And yet I thought this was a kid-friendly show
I Read This In The Arthur Theme Song Style.
And I say... HEY! It's an EAS!
Author: and I say he-
EAS: And I Say Hey A Tornado Is Gonna Hit
I have not seen this Arthur intro since I was very young.
This is a strange way to be reminded of it. It's just like normal nostalgia except disturbing.
Ah yes, I remember the Great Meteorite Storm of 99. That was only the beginning of our troubles!
Wow. The EAS screen is amazing.
The use of creepy Paul's voice makes it!
They just brung back the EAS Paul voice right around 2017 or 2018, but with the new and improved Paul voice replacing the EAS Tom voice.
@@loridoucette1506 where can i find the voice?

how dare they interupt arthur
NO STORM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY ARTHUR
all i can think of is that joke in Diary of a Wimpy Kid where Rowley's family watches a recording of a christmas special every year but during the recording there was a blizzard warning so every time Rowley sees it he calls Greg to tell him there's a blizzard coming
Of all the references.. yeah.
Also in The Deep End where the Flash Flood Warning is issued
I have never heard an EAS advise the above ground shelters wouldn't be sufficient for a severe thunderstorm. Nor have I heard of a severe thunderstorm warning lasting almost twelve hours.
That's because this is "analog horror"; it's not depicting real events, and nor is it meant to be. Hence the, "No shelter above ground will protect you". It is implying that this is no storm, but that calling it such is a cover for something else.
as a person in the general cass county area experiencing a windstorm right now, i'm vibing
beginning: Yeah its just a normal summer t-storm imma just stay indoors
1:50: AAAAAAAAAAAAA
NGL, did not expect to be blindsided with mentions of my state and a city I drive to on a regular basis.
This storm must have winds of something we have never felt before as humans
So a roughly 12 hour window to be hit with the storm. You can absolutely have a long line of storms that can pass over an area over 12 hours.
Get a basement, storm cellar, or other shelter immediately, standard procedure...
If not, attempt to hide in a deep ditch (viable as a last ditch [no pun intended] shelter from tornadoes, but this is just a severe thunderstorm...), storm drain (yeah, DO NOT shelter in a storm drain during a bad storm, it will flood and you'll probably drown), or a site which is as minimally exposed to the sky as possible (hmm, something's up with that... Not being exposed to the sky is good, just in case of hail, but that's usually not the biggest concern...)
If you're in a car, evac north or south, makes sense. If you can get out of the way of the storm entirely, that's advisable.
*No above ground shelter will protect you, regardless of its construction.* Whoa. While you don't tend to hear this for just severe thunderstorms, it's not completely unheard of. The strongest of tornadoes will strip houses clean off their foundations, carrying them many feet into the air. Once a tornado like that clears, you're gonna be looking a heavily wracked ghost town. They do so much damage that the statement is probably true; nothing above ground is gonna survive that, even if bolted down.
But again, *as far as we know, this is just a severe thunderstorm.* What could be happening in that storm?
Seriously, What Is In That Storm?
Sounds like we're about to experience an EF5 Tornado
@@LegoWormNoah101 nay, TWO EF5s.
The song for the station 4 ID at the beginning is Exosphere by eco virtual.
The fact that KLSE is in Louisiana makes this even weirder😐
The storm has a mind, it can control which direction the lightning goes and how far it travels and can easily break through windows. That's why you had to get underground or evacuate
Probably. It could be some monster that disguises itself as a thunderstorm to destroy things above ground.
@@stoplightgaming2302 or a monster that the EAS reported as a storm to prevent panic.
🎶And I say “Hey!” *_HEY!_* You better take shelter right away! Or else you won’t live for another day, and suffer the wrath of this storm!🎶
i like how subtle this one is. if you weren't paying attention, you may not even notice anything is amiss
I'm going to throw my hat into the ring; the combination of lightning, high winds, and "No building is expected to survive" can only mean one thing is going on here:
King Ghidorah has appeared over North Dakota and the government is covering up his presence to prevent an even worse panic.
This is giving me more of an end of the world scenario then a severe thunderstorm
April: corona season 2
May: "severe thunderstorm" Warning
Just something so simple as an emergency alert already makes it horrifying.
this hits 10x harder cos my fear of the EAS alerts came from seeing them while PBS Kids was on when I was little
"No shelter above ground can protect you from this storm, regardless of its construction."
What the hell kind of storm even is this?! 😳
a fake one
Ichor rain
I was watching this and I forgot I lived in North Dakota, that’s pretty cool
1:15 Arthur is making the eas
when i was 8, my favorite tv station would play this as a test at 3pm every Thursday, and I had no idea what it meant, so I'm basically desensitized to that sound
This was an CRS Old Paul in 1999 from NOAA Weather Radio, back before they are using Donna, Craig, Original Paul, and Tom.
Looked up KLSE, and it stopped broadcasting in 1964. Spoopy.
EAS: “This is a very dangerous storm!”
Me: “I’ll believe it when it drops a tornado.”
This is by far the scariest EBS voice they have used.
"no shelter above ground can protect you from this storm"
hold on is this a thunderstorm or an ef6 tornado
The National Mineva Aliance Has issued a TRYING TO WATCH ARTHUR EPISODE WARNING
Fun Fact: If people are asking if this is an EASyPLUS, it is not, because the EASyPLUS screen was launched in 2002
EAS sounds start at 0:20 and end at 0:48
Arthur.. man I haven’t heard that name in a while.. aside of the persons with the name Arthur...
"No shelter above ground can protect you from this storm, regardless of its construction" Jesus is it a fucking portal storm???
These almost EXCLUSIVELY came on when I was watching Arthur as a kid. It was rarely any other show. Always Arthur
Imagine seeing this EAS alarm and Thunderstruck suddenly plays...
Oh come on I just wanted to watch some Arthur
ok so the Arthur episode gets interrupted by the emergency alert system...wow :|
Using dectalk instead of a more modern anachronistic voice was a nice touch
I like the attention to detail, how the tape has wow and flutter
Wait...is this a Severe Thunderstorm or is King Kong, Godzilla, mecha Godzilla, and Mothra all attacking at the same time?
King Ghidorah. He's the only kaiju whose powers could explain the phenomena being observed.
Microsoft Sam interrupts Arthur
Beginning song is Exosphere by ECO VIRTUAL
Lol XD
The National Weather Service in Grand Forks has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for; Cass County in Eastern North Dakota, Clay County in Western Minnesota, until 8:30 AM tomorrow. At 8:51 PM, National Weather Service doppler radar indicated a severe thunderstorm located approximately 1 mile east of Wheatland, 4 miles west of Casselton, moving east at 45 miles per hour. The storm will be near Mapleton at 9PM, West Fargo at 9:06PM, Fargo at 9:11PM, Moorhead at 9:13PM. Take cover now. Get to a basement, storm cellar, or other underground shelter immediately. Close and lock the entrance to the shelter. If you are unable to find an underground shelter, attempt to hide in a deep ditch, storm drain, or a site which is as minimally exposed to the sky as possible. If you are in a car, evacuate from the Fargo area immediately, heading in the north or south as directed by law enforcement. Do not leave your shelter or return to the Fargo area until the warning is lifted. No shelter above ground can protect you from this storm, regardless of its construction. To repeat, the National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Cass and Clay counties effective until 8:30AM tomorrow. Get to an underground shelter or evacuate now.
Wow, my best friend can put his on a VHS tape along with many local access alerts
And I say the National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning
For Cass County in Eastern North Dakota
and clay county in western minnesota
Evening Haze by Eco Virtual. I think that's what the jingle was for Station 4.
I fear no man. But that thing...
"No shelter above ground can protect you from this storm..."
it scares me.
lol
Nobody:
People in the time this was originally broadcast: PANIK!
Me in the present watching this footage: Arthur has been around since 1999?
Arthur first aired around 1995 or 96 I believe.
And I say H-[REDACTED]
I’m inclined to believe this was a highly elaborate broadcast signal intrusion. Someone like Captain Midnight or the Max Headroom people - just wanting to hear the next day about hundreds of people hiding in storm sewers or barricading in their basements.
Probably. If its not, what could it be?
I heard about this video before it was uploaded
That's one way to get past copyright to post Arthur. Thanks, Minerva Alliance!
Makes me think of that moon scenario
How in the hell did you make King Ghidorah and his powers so damn horrifying within a span of 2 minutes and 14 seconds.!?
"And I say hey" proceeds to speak enchantment table
God dammit, who accidentally picked Severe Thunderstorm warning instead of Nuclear Power Plant Warning?
VHS never looked like this. The idea that VHS looks terrible is a byproduct of the modern tech.
yeah this would've looked better had the editor put more care into the visual details. i like the concept though
This was made when the concept of Analog Horror was still new, what do you expect?
Oh my god stoppp there was a severe thunderstorm warning in Grand forks YESTERDAY AHHHH
This is just an average Tuesday for people in the mid-US.
So now we found out the weather in this episode
Bruh there acting like it's a tornado warning, on a severe thunderstorm warning you have to just stay inside, you have to seek shelter on a tornado warning
Trust me, that was unexpected -Timothy
cant see any comments linking this to Local 58...... maybe cos im here 4 years late
Because it isn't part of Local 58...
Not what I was expecting. Great aesthetic though.
Arthur: and I say he-
EAS: and I say hey a thunderstorm is coming
Perfect moment!! "Per Hour" shook up the title Arthur
Someone shidded and farded and they covered it up to be a severe thunderstorm warning
The first voice is the one I first remember hearing as a kid. Sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And i say-

I got _way_ too invested in this video. It makes me want to watch Arthur now 😂
