Let me now apologize for having my own opinion. I'll just call myself an idiot so you don't have to.

how long would it take to open a phone book - which any disaster center SHOULD HAVE for areas it covers - and call the local TV and radio stations in the areas about to be hit. Yellow pages lists them..... they should even have those numbers ready.

if only 10% got the message and got it out - you get SOME warning....
