Was that nationwide? I was on my lunch break and it scared the crap out of me.

I'd been waiting on it so I can hassle the office conspiracy nut when nothing happens.

Yes. You should have received a text message about a week ago that the system was being tested today and to not panic

This is the first I’m hearing of the pre-text warning. I found out through memes maybe 3 days ago!

[–] Candybar121@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hadn't heard anything until on public radio 3 minutes prior. then the alert was 2 minutes early!
