You know, I am so glad I'm not the only one! When I was a kid, I swear they didn't test the system *that* often, and I don't ever remember it actually being used. I sort of grew up believing that if you ever heard it and it wasn't a test, nuclear war or something was imminent.
So now when I hear those tests (inevitably in the middle of the night), they freak me out a bit. Also because now the EBS is used at the drop of a hat, it seems - even for freaking severe thunderstorm warnings. And, I'm terrified of tornadoes, so I hear it and am afraid a tornado is coming!
BTW, I suppose that could be my weird fear. I don't live in tornado alley, and they're not THAT common around here *knock wood* - but I'm always afraid they're lurking in thunderstorms.
