I don't understand this at all. NWS is relying on Twitter? There is an EAS system, or there was one not so long ago, that emergency preparedness people should have available via the appropriate receivers on radio frequencies, not internet alarms via Twitter. WTAF?

They did use the WEA/EAS system. I'm genuinely not sure why this didn't get included.
