Keep in mind that the delivery of something of this scale almost certainly cannot be entirely simultaneous. Pushing hundreds of millions of messages, through various channels, to hundreds of millions of devices will absolutely take time. At least a few minutes.
Twitter has entire server racks dedicated to individual accounts, just to handle the fan-out.

Depends on how it was designed. This is easy to test. What time did anons get the alert?
14:18 here.
14:18 took a screenshot. I even mentioned to a coworker that the test was 2 minutes early.
Same, but over the car radio was a couple minutes later
14:18
I took a screenshot as well. Central time here and my pic says 13:18.
I found the last like of the message interesting...
Maybe military action is required then?
