I believe it is in HAST because the FEMA Drill is going to simulate a tsunami scenario originating from the Russian/Aleutian Island area.

Dear Comcast Customer:
On Wednesday, November 9 at 2 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), FEMA and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct the nation's first ever Emergency Alert System (EAS) test.
The purpose of this test is to help determine if the national-level system will work as designed, should officials ever need to send a national alert.
This test will last approximately three minutes and will be seen on all local, cable, and satellite TV stations across the country, as well as radio.
Guess we will have to wait and see how long it is on wednesday.

...have none of you stopped to consider that HAST is the first time zone that is part of the US, and that perhaps it's that simple? Start with the first time zone and then roll onward to continental US?

Surely its unlikely, but I probably won't have any TV's or radios in my vicinity at that time on 11/9....
