[sbe-eas] WA: This is a test. happy Friday!

[Aaron Read]

I am very confused: WEA may use codes similar to what EAS uses, but I was
under the impression they are NOT the same.  There's no possible way a test
in WEA could end up on EAS (except through *significant* user error)
because they're completely different systems, data flow &
infrastructure...right?
