My sisters taught me what to do during an EBS test on TV and radio? (for those outside the U.S. - EBS is Emergency Broadcast System, the way the government alerts people to emergencies like earthquakes, tornadoes, war, etc) They said I was supposed to get under the coffee table in the living room whenever I heard the EBS tone - and I did it for years. Many years later, I ended up being a radio announcer and actually ran those EBS tests. I still laugh to myself whenever I hear one of the tests.
