October 11 was the plan B test date if the first did not go off as planned. It does seem like the first test was cut short. It is likely a second longer EA will be broadcast if they still have the means.
What's special about the 5th of October?
It's National Do Something Nice Day, World Teachers Day, Balloons Around the World Day, National Poetry Day, Country Inn Bed & Breakfast Day
I did too. After the nationwide test, I yelled up to my wife from the shop “turn that fucking thing off”. She complied. Test complete.
What was the test really for?
So what do you think this means, exactly?
So it was a secret, separate test?
A separate test? Broadcast to whom?

What is the implication?
Mine said"Presidential Alert"
Not here.
I had one that said presidential and the other said emergency

What happen in history on the date October 5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_5
Ok. This is not notable. A war just kicked off. It would be more notable if a test was done BEFORE hostilities started or one didn't occur at all.

Someone who's been on deployment before
Test was 10/5/2023
Deploying opinion reactions rather than questions?
Okay, but give us some context. What is the typical purpose for your company's EAS? What do you extrapolate from this event?
What's up with the other supposed test coming up
