I wouldn't be surprised.
The middle of the country got hit with a suprise 'test' this morning.
The tornado tests are normal, but what was not normal was it triggering our cell phone emergency system and the alert on the phone was NOT a warning.
It was an actual alert that told us to take cover, etc.
That has never happened. Btw it's completely clear and sunny.
They said the new software triggered an actual warning instead of a test. It all coincided with the test announcement along with a test alert msg from local company tests at the exact same time.
