[sbe-eas] TX: State-wide Blue Alert at 4:52am for Hall County

[Rob Dale]

That's hard to justify after SO many issues like this... A better way of solving the problem is training message senders.

Although it is in the long range plans so that users can permantly mute the alerts but will still get them. I'd guess end of the decade-ish.
