Okay, here's something new ...

A monthly required test of the EBS just came over my cable TV for Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties -- done in conjunction with the Tsunami Alert System.  This is an alert I've never seen before, and is different from and in addition to the EBS' required weekly test for L.A. County. 

Now, just this morning I was thinking how the entire continental West Coast, from the tip of Baja to the tip of Alaska, should have some kind of tsunami warning system.  While it's good to see this kind of alert, it's kinda creepy that it occurred right after I'd thought about it.
