I live in Michigan. Sometime midmorning, I didnt look at the clock, I received an alert over my phone. It knocked my call off my phone. Then about an hour later we got another alert over the TV. Another hour after that, a third alert this time from the Michigan State Police came over the TV. Never seen that before. The Michigan State Police have never sent an alert out over the TV of any kind to my knowledge. These were Statewide alerts -- on a day it snowed and the day before 1-3 inches. And its still deep Winter north of Saginaw.
Whats weird is tornado alert tests on TV and phones have never occurred before these. We have a rather robust tornado siren system in SE Michigan that you can hear from anywhere. They test these at noon on the first Saturday of the month from April through September (maybe October).
A lot of people took note. I heard discussion about it at Home Depot while buying foam sheets and visqueen for a job.
Im assuming this is Wayne County, Michigan?
