FEMA - Emergency Broadcast System Test - October 4th

[kdonnel]

The national test has happened multiple times over the last 10-15 years.

No one remembers because we were all zombies during the tests. Our memories of what tasks we performed during the tests have been wiped!

Exactly! And just combine the coincidence of this 'test' occurring the day after historic events in congress, and you can see it is all part of the plan! I'm telling you all, if you haven't smashed your phone to pieces yet, do it now before it's too late!!

We're ready!!

Well, T minus an hour and ten minutes until the end of the world.

Last night I was on tiktok live and folks were completely losing their Scheiß over this alert. There are people who are legit freaked out over it. Fascinating.

Hopefully they adjusted the rabbit ears on their tee-vee.
Their local news version of Ron Burgundy will likely be on air to reassure them after all the excitement.

Probably not. There are monthly & weekly tests of EAS from every TV (and radio) stations. Why people are so freaked about this one, I don't get.

Yes, we are aware. But lots of those tinfoil hatters may not be quite as able to see the similarity.

I've put a bagel in my smart toaster...can't wait to see what happens!

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

OMG it just happened on my phone, I'm melting, auggghhh!

 

[soccerdad72]

They were two minutes early

 

[sam_gordon]

Everyone a zombie now? Seems to have gone through two minutes early (at least where I am in Wisconsin).

 

[MGMmjl]

Just got the test on my cell phone. Yes, 2 minutes early!

 

[kdonnel]

Oh no, it went of 2 minutes early.

The new thoughts in my brain, its so hard to control them.....

Got my alert at 1:18 central time. Phone is on silent. A message appeared on the screen, I clicked, ok. And that was the end of it.

Yep! Startled me even though I was expecting it. Still nothing on my TV and it's on.

 

[sam_gordon]

I wonder if they hit the button a x:18 thinking it would take 2 minutes to distribute everywhere.

 

[focusondisney]

Well that was underwhelming

Spike (spoke - maybe Freudian slip) too soon! Happening now - I feel a tingle....

Wish I would have saw this thread earlier, scared the crap out of me and of course I was drinking something and it flew all over my keyboard and screen.

TV might take a little bit of time. The way the TV is supposed to work is the warning gets sent out on radio stations, TV stations receive that signal, goes through their generator and then passed.
