Honestly, I remember seeing alerts like this pop up randomly while watching tv at night as a kid, warning about child abductions. The worst part is that, for some reason, whenever there was one, the voice was heavily distorted in the creepiest way possible.
Unfortunately, the EAS is most concerned about getting the message out as quickly as possible. This means using an automated voice. This is crucial for situations like tornados, where you might only have a few minutes to get to shelter. There just isn’t enough time for a human announcer to do a few takes to get the message right. (Sry for the (probably) unnecessary infodump)
@@Goober-Deliciousunless it's so immediately urgent that even the NWS themselves skip the automated voice and boilerplate/template and an NWS meteorologist gets right to the point on live air. See 2013 El Reno tornado. Gives me chills because you can hear the adrenaline in his voice.
Fun fact: The tsunami was generated by the Great East Japan Earthquake, which happened the same day this warning was issued. As a result, this is probably the only time the Japanese EEW system and the American EAS system were activated as a result of the same event.
Yeah. This was broadcast Thursday night 03/10/2011 on Comcast Bay Area on all channels once the Tsunami Center in Hawaii issued the warning for all US west coast. It was a trip to say the very least.
Man, R.I.P to the Japanese people who died. Here in California, a Tsunami Warning EAS is very rare. I remember that I was 6 at that time. It was my first and only time seeing a Tsunami Warning here.
I still remember the moment this happened. I was at my desk with my TV on in the background at about 2am, when the screen suddenly went black. I was puzzled and I went to get up when this started playing all of the sudden. It was kind of surreal.
I live in Napa County, although I think that Napa County would be the least affected or not affected at all because Napa, American Canyon, Yountville, St Helena, The Lake Berryesa area and Calistoga are so inland and there are mountains around the cities so I think it would be unlikely that a tsunami would reach Napa County.
The hours of advanced warning made it so only one person died from the Tsunami in California! He was a 25 year old man who intentionally went to take pictures of the waves with his buddies. The 3 of them got swept away. The other 2 men made it back to the shore alive.
That and I don’t wanna activate any nearby radio stations by accident😳. Funny enough I played the sound from Purge through breaking into a local football field’s sound booth which happens to be nearby a radio tower, and blasting it so everyone could hear it. I could’ve been fined a lot of money or went to jail for it.
So, Apparently This Was not sent by The National Weather service because this was Issued Directly from Comcast, So instead of the issuer being National Weather Service, This was issued by A broadcaster or Cable system. Tsunami Warnings are generally relayed from host stations, Or EAS Participants, But I've seen warnings in CA that used " Civil Authorities " as a sender. But I believe it doesn't really matter. Kinda shocked this was the second alert I've seen on YT not being relayed by the NWS
I assume that they used a human voice as they were not prepared to issue a tsunami warning as that is a rare occurrence sooooooo technically they did not have a recorded clip of a digital recording for a tsunami
i was always frightened by these when i was a kid! i fucking freaked out because of the scary creepy noises! FUCK! the eas came up 3 times about a fucking flood! FUCK IT IDFC! fucking trying to scare us to death! they make people panic!
This always comes on my TV mostly every month around 2:00 or 3:00 AM and it scares me so bad because it is dark and the noise is so loud *BUUUUUUUR BURRRRRRR BURRRRRRRRR BEEP*
This is not 8.9, it's 9.1 according from JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) My country Philippines has been affected in the most of open oceans such as Davao and the rest of the others
Every time I see "Broadcast Station or Cable System" it makes me think that one little cable system can issue an EAS alert. Imagine trying to explain that to the cops
But actually, a western portion of one of the volcanoes in the Canary Islands is becoming unstable, which could fall into the ocean, causing a Mega Tsunami. Even worse, they say the tsunami could reach Florida. So sorry, bud.
I watch some vides about the big one the Pacific Northwest earthquake which is a possibility of happening will bring a 100 foot tsunami inland 700 miles. Washington, Oregon which I live in, and California will be hit by this earthquake and tsunami I believe.
It was. From the Great Tohoku Earthquake of March 11, 2011. With the quake measuring a giant 9.0 in magnitude, it remains the most powerful earthquake ever to strike that part of Japan. This was a subduction zone earthquake.
a white EAS? Interesting. I like the diversity of the EAS in the USA. In Canada is all just one system, Alert ready. I live in Alberta and we have a different system, but it isn't far off with it using the same tones and voices.

The human voice is much more comforting than an automated voice.
Yeah like japan has
Random Thing CH this is uh, california?
You know, it's not good to FRIKIN SHOW UR FACE
Tom died from the tsunami probably.
Why do that warning is different
Honestly, I remember seeing alerts like this pop up randomly while watching tv at night as a kid, warning about child abductions. The worst part is that, for some reason, whenever there was one, the voice was heavily distorted in the creepiest way possible.
the was voice is pink sheep
Wow, that must have been scary. You alright now? :(
I know that feeling
i remember exactly that
To get your attention
March 11 2011-2021 10 years later. Rest in peace for the people of japan affected by the earthquake.
11 now
This guy has a great radio voice! I wish all EAS broadcasts were like this!
Joseph Mallery I think it was from a radio station.
@@Mrtraveler01 That would be from the primary EAS station KCBS-AM.
@RossoTX. (Main Channel) WBAP doesn't relay TSW.

more like unnecessary random fact
Start 0:18 end 1:11
I remember hearing about the tsunami warning, and the earthquake in Japan and I was 8! And from central California!
Yeah. This was broadcast Thursday night 03/10/2011 on Comcast Bay Area on all channels once the Tsunami Center in Hawaii issued the warning for all US west coast. It was a trip to say the very least.
Man, R.I.P to the Japanese people who died. Here in California, a Tsunami Warning EAS is very rare. I remember that I was 6 at that time. It was my first and only time seeing a Tsunami Warning here.
That's an amazing encoding at the beginning. It's so different than the test tones
It's cause there were a lot more locations involved.
what do you mean?
Japan: *ding dong ding dong*
USA: *SHREEEEEEEEEEEIK SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIK SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIK BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
Canada: AAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEAAAAAEEEEEEAAAAAEEEEEAAAAAEEEE

This type of eas with the human announcer is oddly nostalgic to me. I would go to Ocean City a lot and they would do tests that sounded like this
I feel comfortable with the human voice
Im guessing they had to do a human voice because they weren't prepared for this to happen in any sort of event.
I live in Napa County, although I think that Napa County would be the least affected or not affected at all because Napa, American Canyon, Yountville, St Helena, The Lake Berryesa area and Calistoga are so inland and there are mountains around the cities so I think it would be unlikely that a tsunami would reach Napa County.
A broadcast station and cable system has issued a tsunami warning
EAS! YOU NEED A NEW VOICE FOR THIS MESSAGE!
Jean Hernandez no he doesn't
@rexmasonjr76, So the EAS is a person, huh? Glad to see that logic has flipped sides.
Not all alerts have a robot voice. Some do have live voices if it is urgent or if there are technical problems.
@@StateCollegeCONELRAD yea like japan
That voice is false I hate different warning
Almost the 10th anniversary of this tsunami warning
Speaking of Tsunamis, we now have evacuation routes here on the east coast.
Hearing this is like hearing the dial up sound effect and a broken car horn
The hours of advanced warning made it so only one person died from the Tsunami in California! He was a 25 year old man who intentionally went to take pictures of the waves with his buddies. The 3 of them got swept away. The other 2 men made it back to the shore alive.
I love this voice 😍
Subscribed!!!
The black screen is a lot scarier.
Mateoski the white screen it's way scarier than the black screen sorry
@@mikerussell3144 The white screen with grey text appears better than this.
i remember my first eas test was a gray screen so for me a gray screen is scarier than a black screen
Looks like the screen was negative filtered
Someone posted a link to this and it's literally what I expected.
This happend today early in the morning in the same areas because of an 8.3 earthquake in Chile.
The Japanese if they see this video must be grateful for what type of warning message they get
I’m too scared to turn up the volume but I’m tryna face my fears 😰

The fact that the screen is gray and the text is black just kinda makes this scarier
OOOH! I like the white background with the black letters! How’d you do it?
I lived in Arcata California and the tsunami hit Arcata but it wasn't as bad as we thought
WHY IS IT ALWAYS CA
Recreated This Alert
@EASpokaneChiefs Im glad it did :3
This Is Most likely the great east japan earthquake tsunami 2011 march 11, the tsunami spread over the pacific sea that day.
Grey background and black text. You can customize the screen colors, apparently. Did not know that.
The choices are black, blue and grey for the backgrounds and black and white for the text (on the EASyPLUS)
I mean San Mateo county is located in the INNER bay so I doubt it will ever be affected by the Tsunami
This should be for LSPD:FR
that sound in the oooooooooo was him being terrified
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
Broadcast station
or cable system
Issued a
Tsunami warning
where you find this?
I got this! But I live in LA. So, I don’t know why I got it.
Emergency
Alert
System
that is what EAS stands for
+iAdrian0731 No shit!
No dip Sherlock
Lord Waterboy At least you thought of people who didn't know
Yeah dumbass
Lord Waterboy No shit Sherlock
I Saw from The Weather Channel
I assume that they used a human voice as they were not prepared to issue a tsunami warning as that is a rare occurrence sooooooo technically they did not have a recorded clip of a digital recording for a tsunami
Now imagine if this happened on the east coast here
How it's made the California dreams
These things scare me eAe
I remember this! I lived in the Contra Costa County, but I wasn't pretty sure if the Tsunami affected the area.
When I sleeping in dark is scared me up
Thank God that I live in southern Texas where there is no hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, or earthquakes!!!
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm right.
I do live in Texas but in 3/2012, there was some tornadoes
Wow
And then harvey
i was always frightened by these when i was a kid! i fucking freaked out because of the scary creepy noises! FUCK! the eas came up 3 times about a fucking flood! FUCK IT IDFC! fucking trying to scare us to death! they make people panic!
They'd rather have as many people hear it as possible.
Yeah
These alert tones are there to warn you of emergencies.
@@stillmoon145 the three times are something called S.A.M.E. tones and basically contain info about what, when and where the emergency is.
That’s still counts as me being born in 2011…
The least scariest EAS voice I’ve heard
Emergency Alert System Tsunami Warning
for me I had a Tsunami Watch on tv
"This concludes the activation of the Emergency Alert System"
EAS: *aM i A jOkE tO yOu*
America EAS be screeching 24/7
This always comes on my TV mostly every month around 2:00 or 3:00 AM and it scares me so bad because it is dark and the noise is so loud *BUUUUUUUR BURRRRRRR BURRRRRRRRR BEEP*
Tsunami warning 9:06 AM a mmm
This is a Very Rare version of Earthquake in USA!
The 8.9 magnitude earthquake was in Honshu Japan. However this is a very rare instance of a tsunami in California
My alert system was never like this before my alert was always black
This is not 8.9, it's 9.1 according from JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency)
My country Philippines has been affected in the most of open oceans such as Davao and the rest of the others
Issan jan Momo Correction: Estimated 9.0
Can you released a video from 2013 the biggest and strongest typhoon is the haiyan
i think they should use a human voice for eas because when they use a text to speech it is much more creepier
it's meant to grab your attention
human voice is clearer imo@@budgie508
Emma live in California I think she died by a tsunami
dude! you actually got a TSW?
When You Heard Something In Your Kitchen And Was Gray
Me:WT* A EAS!?!?
Emergency Alert System
Brodcast station or
cable system
Issued a
Tsunami Warning
+Gaz Hasa this is getting old.
That's the date That ocurred The Sendai Tsunami
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
Someone turned on light mode...
I've seen a white screen I live in lihue Hawaii
Here in Minnesota the voice is way more distorted 😂
M xChan you should hear the ones in Wyoming. You couldn’t even tell what they are saying, it’s just “RENUOPERINWVPURPOUVOREUOUIOVUWEORYUIYROE”
Vekoma lol
how are you not fined for playing the forbidden tones?
I found out something... This video is the same as the other video you posted. Except this is a white screen.
No, just a difference in the contrast.
Pretty interesting how the alert was issued by “Broadcast Station or Cable System” instead of national weather service.
Every time I see "Broadcast Station or Cable System" it makes me think that one little cable system can issue an EAS alert. Imagine trying to explain that to the cops
@@XTRgames2024It has happened before, multiple times from accidents AND hacks.
Tom was killed by the tsunami and couldn't deliver the message.
This depicts San Andreas.
And rip for those who die in the tsunami 🙏😩🥺🥺🥺🥺💔
I don't think anyone did 😂😂
@@G_FREOne guy did
never watch this in 1:05 AM
When you make a April Fool Joke
Me:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE ARE GONNA DIEEEEE
Thank god i live in florida ;_;
But actually, a western portion of one of the volcanoes in the Canary Islands is becoming unstable, which could fall into the ocean, causing a Mega Tsunami. Even worse, they say the tsunami could reach Florida. So sorry, bud.
Hurricanes bro
Bro I live in Wyoming 😂😂😂
Tsunamis scare me
Not california dreaming it is california tsunami
Actually 9.0
I watch some vides about the big one the Pacific Northwest earthquake which is a possibility of happening will bring a 100 foot tsunami inland 700 miles. Washington, Oregon which I live in, and California will be hit by this earthquake and tsunami I believe.
Holy smokes this video doesn't have any comment even if its 11 years ago
My account got hacked recently and all videos were set to private for a short period. That's the only reason. Hackers deleted them all.
At this rate I'll probably died from Ear rape than Tsunami.
This should actually be good for Cali because you know...the drout
+TheMollyrock Considering a tsunami comes from the ocean and salt water is pretty much useless. No
+Spencer Johnson Ohh ok
*facepalm*

Wait was this part of the earthquake of Japan on 2011?
It was. From the Great Tohoku Earthquake of March 11, 2011. With the quake measuring a giant 9.0 in magnitude, it remains the most powerful earthquake ever to strike that part of Japan. This was a subduction zone earthquake.

No
