The Unusual EAS is a cover-up for an anomalous weather event.
"No shelter above ground can protect you from this storm, regardless of its construction."
"If you are unable to find an underground shelter, attempt to hide in a deep ditch, storm drain, or a site which is as minimally exposed to the sky as possible."
The EAS may be covering up an anomalous weather event, as it recommends structures which don't have windows. That or it may be a supernatural force that can go through walls, but can't get underground. Perhaps looking at the sky is the danger, and shouldn't be risked.

"Community's Choice" and "Game Show Spectacular" are related.
Community's Choice involves sacrificing someone to Alazareth, and Game Show Spectacular has an unreadably fast line on screen saying "The Aztec civilization often sacrificed children to appease their gods". The description of Game Show says that a boy died after watching it.

The "Unusual Ad Council" virus is death itself
No transmission vectors for the virus are shown, and the video claims there isn't anything you can do to stop it. It also claims the death is quick once this "virus" activates in the body.

The future events from "Madame Claire"
The first 8 events already happened, but what are the future ones?
  • "A streak of fire from the heavens will cripple the globe in an era of machine supremacy" (Picture of the sun)
    • A solar flare powerful enough to wipe out electronics, ala the Carrington Event?
  • "An attempt to cut off the hydra of freedom's heads goes awry, with the assassins condemned to death" (picture of the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC)
    • Which leads to a bizarre case of Life Imitates Art, because a few months after the video was made, a mob stormed that exact same building with the intent to change the outcome of the 2020 election. Whether or not the people involved got the death penalty is yet to be determined.
  • "A vast yet frozen land will tear itself asunder over the essentials of life and the struggle for freedom" (picture of a landscape)
    • Melting Glaciers?
  • "Birds of prey carrying on Prometheus' legacy will be smothered by the ignorant and brash" (picture of an owl)
    • This seems to indicate the extinction of owls, but could it be referring to the Minerva Alliance, which uses an owl as its profile picture?
    • I personally think that this is referring to the fall of the Minerva Alliance specifically. As they are “carrying on Prometheus’ legacy”, letting mankind know about the anomalies going on in the world.
  • "Ethereal trade will be shut down by the Achilles' Heel of the very medium itself" (picture of electronic displays)
    • Fall of capitalism?
    • Or possibly a worldwide economic recession a la The Great Depression or the 2008 economic recession, only this time, the world can never fully recover from this.
  • "A hostile northern brother will take over its southern sibling with extreme force." (picture of the Korean peninsula with arrows pointing south)
    • This seems to be a violent reunification of Korea with a Northern victory.
  • "A forest with a rich and luscious ecosystem will meet a fiery demise only Hades can match" (picture of a forest burning on a hill)
    • The last of the Amazon forest burns.
  • "A virulent pestilence will render the riches of the sea inedible by many on the Earth" (picture of numerous dead fish on a beach)
    • Mass die-off of marine life?
  • "All life on Earth will perish"
    • Pretty Self-Explanatory.

New Comstock has memory wiping technology
  • The description of "Community's Choice" says while there have been rumors of a small but prosperous town in the southern Tennessee Valley, no one remembers seeing a town with the description. However, these rumors were able to spread, so the memory wipe would only occur locally,with everyone busy for the yellow-green lights. Still, no town was seen.

Madame Claire merged with her crystal ball
At the end of "Madame Claire", after she predicts several disasters, she shows a "demon" form, and her crystal ball is missing. It could also mean her crystal ball has no more predictions, and therefore is "broken".

The burrower Worm caught on camera is a human sacrifice
In "Quakin'and Shakin'", we see a burrower Worm for only a few frames when it annihilates a small shack. It is established that they can hear pretty well, and you must stay silent to avoid becoming their lunch. It would stand to reason that something or someone was used as bait to get the worm right in the center of the camera frame. And that "Community's Choice" is explicitly about modern-day human sacrifice, and "Game Show Spectacular" is implicitly about it. Although Occam's Razor would say they used a radio or bell to make noise instead.
