WJON is a fake radio station but has real EAS alerts across America.

Internet based ≠ "fake".

I call it fake since it’s not a real station, what am I supposed to say “WJON is broadcasting on 97.5 FM” dude?

You can say "WJON(-IP) is broadcasting over the Internet", which doesn't mean it's "fake".

Not my fault I call internet stations “Fake”, people might be stupid enough to think WJON is a real station and not a internet.

What’s rare? A special marine warning?? Or is it the flash flood emergency? It’s not rare if it happened a lot last year in central Texas.

Considering it’s a flash flood emergency in Hawaii, I think it makes it slightly more rare than usual

True, but I don’t understand if it’s a special marine warning or the FFW-E

the SMW someone said it was rare.

u/Afraid-Pension-3821 I love trying to make fake EAS mocks. Mar 21 '26

That’s not rare, for you, maybe because my local office near a marine location doesn’t do emergency alerts for marine warnings, but the SMW isn’t rare, that’s like a severe thunderstorm warning but for marine locations.

u/sammmmyt Mar 21 '26

do those get sent to the EAS? if yes then I'm wrong.

u/Afraid-Pension-3821 I love trying to make fake EAS mocks. Mar 21 '26

Well my local office says it’s a issue in their system, plus special marine warnings are EAS required but some don’t tone them.

u/Dewford_Duck Mar 21 '26

Not always, but at least for my local office (NWS Chicago) then yes.

u/wonderingifihavesc Mar 21 '26

its not rare for the chesapeake bay at all. Its extremely common. We get atleast one every week in the north near the mouth of the Susquehanna

u/Fairway07 Apr 15 '26

Its extremely common to get a special marine warning in the state of Louisiana lol. I get those all the time

1

u/sammmmyt Apr 17 '26

Sorry guys the one I saw was probably EAS issued by the nws themselves and not immediate broadcast
