[sbe-eas] WEA in RI during severe rain

[Rob Dale]

To clarify - all NWS alerts are automated, and fully scripted. They will never have specific information in them.

That’s the responsibility of the EMs.

Same WEA was sent at 3:25pm and again at 4:55pm.   Browsing thru tweets, it would appear I-95 became impassable around 2:30 or 3pm, and was cleared around 6pm.
