That's all, just the headline, but it's up on the UK's Daily Express too.

Your instincts were right - turn on the TV...

If it had been a real attack the President would have appeared on designated TV channels within the first ten minutes.

FOX has hysterical fools on...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System

The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national warning system in the United States put into place on January 1, 1997 (approved by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in November 1994),[1] when it replaced the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), which in turn replaced the CONELRAD System. The official EAS is designed to enable the President of the United States to speak to the United States within 10 minutes.

EAS messages are transmitted via AM, FM, broadcast television, cable television and Land Mobile Radio Service, as well as VHF, UHF, and FiOS (wireline video providers). Digital television, satellite television, and digital cable providers, along with Sirius XM satellite radio, IBOC, DAB, smart phones and digital radio broadcasters, have been required to participate in the EAS since December 31, 2006.[4] DirecTV, Dish Network, and all other DBS providers have been required to participate since May 31, 2007.

A neighbor has a son in the military stationed in Hawaii...she was having a meltdown this morning. I felt terrible for her. Her son, her daughter-in-law, grand baby all right there. I have family in the military now and still cannot imagine...

Lots of scary stuff going on around the world but our swamp is not concerned about anything but getting Trump before he can get their swamp drained. Pathetic.

So, you’re on a rock, in the middle of the South Pacific?
Seek shelter, from a ballistic missile attack?
Where, under the covers?

During the cold war there were actual shelters there, and everywhere. Really smart people decided they were not needed. From an article I read Hawaii is trying to redo their system since NK keeps threatening them.

Watching a nuclear blast would cause instant blindness. Of course the shock wave would have killed you after that.

I would love to be a bomb shelter salesman in Hawaii right now.

“This is fishy. I am from Hawaii, and this has never happened before. Civil Defense Alert testing is done at the beginning of the month, not the middle. I also read it took an hour to stop the alert. Something is going on.....”

Interesting that it's less than a week since SpaceX launched it's Zuma payload.

What i saw on Drudge was an image of a child being lowered into a storm drain, i think it was from CNN. For shelter.

I was almost going to ask her if everything was okay - if she needed help. But I was thinking that she was just getting frustrated with either a really small child (that wasn’t getting dad on the phone) - or perhaps a mentally disabled child. Obviously the child was freaking out as well. In hindsight the mom was keeping pretty calm - no doubt for the sake of the child.

I probably wouldn’t have been much help anyway. Not sure how I would have reacted if she said “I don’t know how you could help. My family is in Hawaii and they just received notice that a missile is going to be landing on them any minute now.”

Reminds me of a joke from when I worked at a radio station.

"This a drill. This is only a drill. If this had been a real emergency, we would have fled in terror, and you would not have been informed."

I would get on a boat or something that floats and head out to sea, and come back after the missile (hopefully not nuclear) hit land.

Anybody else interest in throwing this sh*thole out of the union? Make Puerto Rico the 50th state? Hawaii can come back once they join us in the 21st century and stop doing this kind of bull**** in hopes of bringing down President Trump. This is the 12th time these ***holes have done this. Then there are their America-hating “judges”. Time to cut these ***holes loose, IMHO!
