Botched tsunami warning test sparks weather war of words
« on: February 06, 2018, 07:08:11 pm »
A botched tsunami warning test Tuesday sparked a weather war of words between the National Weather Service and private firm AccuWeather.

And, just to allay any fears, there never was a tsunami threat.

The weather service said its National Tsunami Warning Center sent out a monthly tsunami warning test across much of the nation Tuesday morning. Soon after, some mobile app users ended up with an alert that looked like the real thing.

"The National Tsunami Warning Center did NOT issue a Tsunami Warning, Watch, or Advisory for any part of the United States or Canada this morning," the center tweeted.
