Oklahoma does not have a window but we were just discussing this topic last week. Im concerned that setting off a WEA in the middle of the night will cause people to opt out. Currently we setup an EAS message over TV/Radio and a WEA message. For an event in the middle of the night, I am leaning towards the EAS being set off immediately. That way anyone that is awake and the news media will immediately get the information. We could always set off the WEA once we hit an appropriate time window.
