I wanted to take a moment to speak about the recent revelations that have come to light about easalert88. I will start by saying that I am immensely proud of the victim for coming forward with their proof of abuse. It takes so much courage to stand up not only for yourself, but against your abuser. Especially against someone who has been engrained into multiple parts of the Internet, someone who has influence. Thank you for speaking up.
As for easalert88, I am extremely appalled. I read the documents from GWES, and it was incredibly disgusting to see a 27 year old act in such an explicit way with a child. Its disgusting, foul, and frankly I hope this gets investigated further by law enforcement. What Shore did has become an all too common occurrence for today's youth across the Internet.
I don't believe that will change until sexual predators/pedophiles face serious repercussions for their actions. I will always appreciate the work of creators in all communities that work to warn others about, or flat-out stop those suspected of committing sexual abuse. But the unfortunate reality of our time is that these predators do not often face repercussions outside of the Internet. They may lose their online persona or some of their "fame", but otherwise they are able to slink back out into the real world. This is not at all a criticism of those who work to combat sexual predators online, I believe this issue lays primarily in our justice system.
The last thing I wanted to comment on regarding the situation with easalert88 is that I am still seeing people in this community call the situation "drama". The same thing happened back with ClayRanger, and really that label gets slapped on any public conflict creators have in this community. I can't describe how frustrating it is to hear cases of sexual abuse described as drama. It is anything but drama to the people who go through it. People who will now have to live with a lifetime of pain.
I'm sorry if its inconvenient for some of y'all in the community to hear about, but its too important of a topic to pass by. Its important to me, my loved ones, and many of my friends. Its important to many of you here in this community and all over the Internet. It feels like this year there has started to be a shift in the mainstream conscience in regards to caring about all of the sexual abuse that has been allowed to fester for decades (primarily in entertainment industries, but its almost everywhere online too). I hope this trend continues, and more people continue to understand just how deep of an issue this is today, especially on the Internet. Hopefully one day, we can find a way to stop this problem for good.
Last little note here: I am going to be removing the Behind The Screens video I did with easalert88. That series was meant to lift up smaller creators so they can have a bigger voice and so they could tell their story. For obvious reasons, I don't think Shore/easalert88 deserves that platform anymore.
Thank you for listening.

Hey y'all, I hope youve been having a good 2024 so far! I came here because I wanted to make an announcement. I plan on taking an extended, indefinite hiatus away from creating content on EAceS. I have said it numerous times throughout 2023, but I do not have the motivation or desire to create EAS content anymore. I dont know if I'm just burned out or if I've said/done all I want to do with the medium, but the passion is not there. For months (since The Prowler) I have attempted to get started on numerous different scenarios, but they rarely ever held my attention. Regardless of the reasoning, it has become clear to me that its time to move on to other things.
With that being said, I am not leaving YouTube. I still work actively on my other channel Southbound, where me and my partner chase storms and analyze the weather. Its been a ton of fun, and the weather is where my heart truly lies passion-wise. I've been enamored by it as long as I can remember, and doing videos/discussing the weather doesnt feel like work to me. Southbound has been such a wonderful opportunity for me, and has done wonders for my confidence and ability to express my passion. If you would like to keep up with what I'm up to, Southbound is the way to go.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of y'all that has ever watched my videos. I **never** expected to make as big of a splash in this community as I did, and I am forever thankful for the support y'all have shown me over the years. I never had any specific subscriber/viewer count goal, hell I was surprised when I crossed 100 subs. My main goal for this channel was always to create a large, quality bevy of content. One that can be enjoyed by EAS Enthusiasts and new members alike for years to come. Personally, I feel that I have succeeded.
Thank y'all again for everything. I hope to see some of y'all continue on forward with me through my content on Southbound, but I completely understand if that isn't your cup of tea. I really, truly hope that y'all have enjoyed whatever crazy stories my mind has been able to cook up these past 3 1/2 years. EAS Scenarios were a fantastic place for me to start developing my skills, such as voice acting, writing, and editing. But I finally feel comfortable saying I'm ready to take the next step, which is being able to lay this to rest, so that way I can work on content I find fulfilling. Content that will help me develop my passion and my life's work further.
One last time, thank you for everything y'all. And remember, always follow your heart, and be kind to those around you.

Wanted to come back with something a bit different. Motivation for scenario making has still been a bit dry, but I have an idea I'm working on right now I really enjoy. Not gonna give an estimated time of arrival on that just in case it doesn't transpire into anything (so far its little more than an outline). I've also been working more on the @SouthboundWX channel, which is where a lot of my passion for content creation lays now. I won't lie, the formula for making EAS Scenarios does get stale after you've done it enough times.

Responding to this post here and Nova's recent video because YouTube only gave me 400 characters with the share function: youtube.com/post/Ugkxp59lsOYvTK9quKHBqj7zhyrBXCCEj…
First off, the beginning of the post. I've actually been seeing this type of behavior from a lot of people in the community, including some of my former friends. They act victimized as if I did something personally to them, even though I never spoke a bad word about many of these people. In fact, the only time I've ever brought some of them up publicly was to help boost them.
I will say, Nova is not the only person that I have spoken negatively about before, and only through Nova's video have I realized the reputation damage I had done. My intentions were never to go after anyone on a personal level or to impact their channels, but people hang on to what we say, partially due to our status. Its unfortunate that this happens, but I have learned that I need to take accountability for what I say, and just generally think more of the consequences of said words.
I never wanted anyone to hate on Nova, or Serryn, Forsaken, Diamond, none of them. I've had my disagreements with all of them but I do not think they are bad people whatsoever, nor do I hold grudges with any of them. And from my perspective at the time, that's what many of these things were, disagreements. I never wanted to deliberately slander them, I wasn't thinking about the bigger picture. But in ways that is exactly what happened. Again, no matter what my intent was at the end of the day, it still hurt these people. I am truly sorry for that.
Just wanted to throw this note in here. I saw a few comments saying my video was a "generic apology". Personally, I don't see that to be the case. What I said to Nova, and everything in that video (along with now this post) came from the heart. I was raised to apologize when you make mistakes or mistreat somebody. That's what I was doing, yet for some reason (a few) people still bashed me for it. Even Nova has said numerous times he believes that it was sincere. Again, people from the outside tell me I'm not doing enough when they're not even a part of the situation.
Then there's many of the comments on my video. I don't think I saw even one negative comment on my video. Which on one hand, I appreciate y'all supporting my mental health journey to get better. But on the other hand I have fucked up in the past, made mistakes, said stupid shit, and hurt people. Again, I maintain I have never acted with malice or hate in my heart. But that does not mean that my actions or words did not hurt people. Just because I was not in a great state of mind, does not give me an excuse to be nasty towards other people. Be honest, did any of y'all actually go and watch any of Novaric Hymn after I uploaded my video? Did you even take the time to consider that I may have done or said bad things before? Even better, have any of y'all sat down with any of the aforementioned people to ask them more about their experiences?
It goes back to the idea of the Internet putting creators on pedestals. I am completely okay admitting I am not a perfect man, and I want people to hold me accountable for my actions when I trip up. Sure, its uncomfortable. But change is uncomfortable too. So in the end @NovaTooCrazyy if you wanna make a video, I don't oppose it. If you wanna talk about anything before hand, that's fine too!
I want to be able to move past all this, not just for myself, but for all of the people impacted by my words and/or negative behavior, and the community in general. Because this "drama" (notice the quotes) has been going on for months now. I never wanted to cause any disruption to anyone's lives or the community. I don't want people to feel uncomfortable because they support me and not Nova or vice versa. I know it sounds corny but I just want people to get along. I understand that not everyone will get along 100% of the time, but this atmosphere of vitriol and anger in the community is getting frustrating. Thinking about posting anything on here has begun to stress me out because of it. Its genuinely been pushing me away from doing what I love on YouTube, not just on this channel.
Sorry if this all sounds abit rambly but it genuinely has been frustrating seeing the response to all of this. Because to be completely honest, I think I'm at the point me and Nova could have a really open and honest dialogue, yet many people want to just feed the flames and make it about "drama" or picking a side.

YX and his crew continue to expand on their "The Day They Arrived" series. Possibly one of the most creative bunches in the community right now. If you have the time tonight, show them some love!

Hey y'all, I'm happy to say here at home the weather wasn't too bad. We got a few 40-50 mph wind gusts and some moderate rain but that's about it where I'm located. However, many lives have been completely turned upside down, mainly those who were closer to Idalia's direct impacts. It will likely take days, probably even weeks before we understand the true extent of the damage that occurred in the Panhandle/Big Bend regions of Florida, and now up into Southern Georgia. Please keep those in the path of Tropical Storm Idalia in your prayers tonight.

Its that time of year again y'all. Hurricane Idalia is expected to make landfall on Florida's West Coast Wednesday morning as a Category 3 Hurricane. Unfortunately, I am within the path of this hurricane. I will be keeping track of Idalia over on Southbound if you are interested! Otherwise, I will be sure to make a community post (on this channel) following the hurricane so y'all know what's going on.

Posting this here because I know many individuals in the EAS Community struggle with weather-related phobias and fears. I made this video to help spread awareness of weather phobias, as I struggled with one for most of my childhood. I promise you are not alone in this. https://youtu.be/JXMwGOKss_I

Early Morning Nightmare was a bit of a test run to see how I'd develop a tornado scenario in my modern style. I'd say it went well, but it was definitely on the shorter end. Gonna keep polishing up on my weather screens, and one day I want to take a crack at a true EF6-scale scenario.
Even though by today's standards EF6 may look abit dated, the feeling and atmosphere that scenario conveyed is still unmatched.

EAceS (pronounced E-Ace-S) is a channel focused on telling stories through Mock/Scenario videos involving the United States Emergency Alert System. My goal is to provide a compelling mix of the real and surreal, and to explore aspects of the human condition and our minds through these stories. Scenario ideas are often made through the things I see, or are inspired by music. Over the course of the past 3 years, my channel has expanded out past EAS Scenarios to also include interview and parody videos relating to the EAS.
These videos are meant purely for educational and entertainment purposes. Please do not use these videos to try and scare or mislead friends, family, or the public into thinking there is an actual emergency. That was never my intent and never will it be my intent. Other than suggestions and feedback from friends or viewers, videos are made on my own, unless stated otherwise.
