What the heck? Why then? I thought something big had finally happened. Now I’ll never get back to sleep!
Apparently, Florida is outraged. Someone posted a comment in the wild pointing out the real possibility many will disable alerts when they do this early morning testing BS, thus reducing effectiveness. That seemed like a good point.
If you are getting it through your phone, turn the freaking phone off. Turning your phone off because of EAS is the least of the reasons you should do this. I turn off phone and my router at night. 24/7 radiation bleeding into your head isnt good for you.
If you need to contact me at night for an emergency use my landline. Thats why I have it.
I do not have landline.
I wanted to add that it's ok to disable the alerts you do not want to hear. We won't be missing "the big one" we're waiting on. The EAS we've been told about will most definitely come through the newer "Presidential Alert" which by default is turned on and cannot be deactivated.
This very same alert feature was created by non other than President Trump while in office.
Wait, that means the pedoResident can wake me up at 4.45 am because he misplaced his diaper?
False alarm, after further investigation it seems this kid just needs a shower and the smell was not coming from me.
I just turned off mine. Only had extreme alerts on because, you know, that kind of makes sense. Until some bozo decided that "THIS IS A TEST", at 4.45 am.
Not enough to make any difference
