Oops… No Tsunami After All
An AP newswire article, via CBS News, reports that:
A tsunami warning which was automatically sent to television and radio stations throughout Alaska Monday morning was issued in error, the National Weather Service said.
"It went out by mistake, there is no danger of tsunami anywhere," said K.B. Bennekamper, a meteorologist in the service' Anchorage forecast office.
The message, which went directly from the weather service to Alaska broadcasters, only contained a tsunami warning header. If it were a real emergency, Bennekamper said meteorologists would have added actual text into the body of the message, outlining which areas of the state would have been covered by the warning.
