I’ve never had my phone’s emergency alerts go off as much as they have in the last few weeks. Multiple Amber alerts, severe storm warnings, and now I just got one that said there’s a Hispanic male wielding a shotgun loose in the cornfields of a town like an hour away from me. Are they trying to keep people vigilant, or keep up the fear tactics they’ve been using since the COVID pandemic started? Or are they working out the kinks of the system to make it’s ready for some much bigger announcements in the future?
