User blog:BJFRacing14/NOAA Weather Radio's Tom 1 is dead

I was listening to my NOAA Weather Radio on my little handheld Midland receiver and I heard something far different than "Tom 1", or the original "Tom", one of whom I regard as the original voice of NOAA Weather Radio. Well, as I heard the weather message from this newer voice model, one I like to call "Tom 2", my thought was "Damn, the National Weather Service just killed Tom! You bastards!" sort of pulling in a mesh of Toonami moment sprinkled in with Kenny from South Park. So, yeah, if you flip on your NOAA Weather Radio and you hear a newer voice model, that is no longer Tom 1. He is dead. For how that ever happened, I don't know so don't ask. I don't know what prompted the NWS to change the voice model. This newer voice model sounds like the Alberta Emergency Alert/Ready Alert system in Canada. Somehow, they must have drafted this one into the NOAA Weather Radio and EAS systems. It's just a guess on my part, though.
