False Tsunami Alarm on Long Beach Island, New Jersey

We are having a show this Thursday at 8PM US/Eastern. No false alarm there.

Meanwhile, along the Jersey Shore, a story of a test warning that went a bit farther than needed. 


"Two New Jersey Police Departments Issue False Tsunami Warnings"

 PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Two New Jersey police departments startled residents with a false tsunami warning. Harvey Cedars Police Department tweeted on Monday afternoon that a tsunami warning would be in effect until 2:06 p.m. -- More at CBS Philly (Channel 3)
Longtime listeners to BSR may remember similarities to the story of the Emergency Broadcast System scare of 1971.

 See you Thursday!

For others, this may be a new experience (and if so, welcome aboard!) or they need a refresher. Rather than try a one size fits all tutorial just yet, I figured I would start with some basic questions. What listening tool would you like to use? (e.g. iTunes) What operating system are you on? (e.g. Windows) This will help us develop a few tutorials to get folks started. Please let us know in the comments. And now, your moment of zen… https://twitter.com/VirginAustralia/status/1118760531618172928 Cheers, Illya PS: In theory this should post automatically to the slack channel as well. It is interesting to see the difference between a tool that encourages collaboration (slack), and one that is a closed system (f...

Thanks Metro!

A number of Buses have failed to arrive, and the situation underground isn't any better. I've been waiting over an hour to start my commute home. The start time for the show (8pm) is at risk. We will have a show tonight, it probably will be delayed.
