[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Yea. Real exciting.

 

[Matthew]

#Metoo. I wonder if it was just the three of us?

 

[Bill]

Love hearing phones going off one by one all across the front office.....not.

 

[Hang 4]

It worked - now we can panic all at the same time..

Luckily my phone properly understood my setting to not make any noise on alerts so it just appeared on-screen.

 

[Badger]

Is that guy from Hawaii in charge of the alert button?

 

[ktup-flyer]

I feel so safe now

I was watching (over a video feed) a co-worker interview an embezzlement suspect. My co-worker's phone went off, and the suspect jumped and said, "What's that!" The co-worker said, "Lie detector." Suspect immediately confessed.

 

[Badger]

just think of those people in airplanes right now, when they land and get cell service....ALERT

 

[eman1200]

I was checking my GoFundMe balance when I got that alert.

 

[Kenny Phillips]

At least it didn't have an accompanying tweet.

 

[cowman]

Apparently I won’t be seeing them until I’m somewhere with cell signal.

 

[Anymouse]

I was flying. I missed it. I feel SO cheated!!

 

[SkyDog58]

He’s alert? Since when?

 

[Anymouse]

I'm curious how many accidents happened a few minutes after the alert went out.

 

[Pilawt]

Are we still supposed to tune to 640 kc or 1240 kc on our AM dial ... ?

 

[BrianNC]

that was exciting.

Me too! And I have emergency alerts cut off. So there must be another one I am missing.

 

[BrianNC]

Found a link on it. It went out today for everybody. And it still goes off if you have the others disabled.

You can't block the presidential alert. Edit I see we posted at the same time. You found the answer

[weilke]

Amazing how bent out of shape people got about that.

 

[Badger]

[Ken Ibold]

That would be me.

 

[Everskyward]

I was on Alcatraz. I was surprised some of the other inmates, um, volunteers, weren’t aware the test.

 

[Matthew]

I went ahead and reponded to the text...

Hey! There are a couple of black Suburbans in my drivew

 

[Badger]

people with only a landline are in trouble

 

[Zeldman]

I was eating lunch. I thought the guacamole suddenly went bad.....

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Fake news.

 

[murphey]

Hm....violated the Do Not Call List registry. Think I'll post a complaint on the FCC website.

 

[Skyrys62]

I thought I was going to get Rickrolled when I pressed OK

 

[X3 Skier]

I wanted to play back one of Jim Rockford’s answering machine messages to FEMA.

LLook it up kids.

Cheers

The alert interrupted my nap.

 

[TCABM]

I did not get the alert. Phone was on, had a signal, in a conference room with 5 others.

Two of us (1 Apple, 1 Android) did not get it.

I’m okay with not having gotten it.

 

[Unit74]

I couldn’t find the CD Triangle on my office radio!

One of my coworkers put on his old Army helmet and yelled “Duck and Cover!!”.

 

[flhrci]

So when North Korea finally attacks us, will we get a message in time?
