At 1418 this afternoon, I did not receive the presidential test alert. I'm a little worried. I know several people that received it, no problem, same area code, same town, but not me. What did I do? Was it a technical glitch? My phone was on, I waited purposefully to see the screen that says I got it. But I didn't get it. So what now? Do I contact my senator and complain, maybe it was something I did in my past, maybe it was a phone conversation that was previously recorded by the NSA, I just don't know what to think of it!
I'm worried. What if there was a thermonuclear launch and I'm putzing around my yard whistling a Happy tune. My phone doesn't alert me to Run for Cover and suddenly without warning, it's 100 million degrees Celsius before I realize what's even happening. Can you imagine getting stuck in a situation such as that? I want to talk to the president, I think he needs to hear my concerns. Maybe I'll send off a quick online email to my senator, who is the Republican, he would understand.
By the way, it is now 1515 local time and still no test has arrived on my Android. I could be Dust in the Wind at this point in time had it been an actual Thermonuclear launch and alert. I don't even know if I could get to sleep tonight over this. I have a safe place in my garage that I occupy when there are tornadoes imminent. Maybe I should go in there... I just recently bombed it for insect infestation so it should be pretty clean... I need some soup, some chicken soup, and warm homemade bread like Mama used to make. but first I have to go putz around the yard it is finally dry enough to mow and maybe my mowing will take me to "that other place where men go" when mowing.
I got!
Grab you bug-out bag and head for the hills, you didn’t make the Alien Invasion Human Negotiated Survivor Quota List.
If you didn’t receive it, then you’ve been selected for this year’s annual Hunger Games.
Me neither but according to a few here I am a low life newbie so maybe thats the reason.
Need to ask them as they seem to be very wise, just ask them !
damn, beat me to it.GMTA
You are on the list for FEMA camp roundup. Expect the knock on the door at around oh dark thirty. I did not receive a notice either...ATT.
I’m Verizon, and I got it. It also showed up on my Spectrum cable. I’d left my TV on when I went to the dentist, and the alert screen was still on when I got home. Had to turn the TV and cable box off to get rid of it.
The alert is only going out to about 75% of devices. I got my alert. My wife did not.
I’m Verizon and received the message.
The radio said some will, some won’t....
Someday, and that day may never come, you'll be called upon to do a service. Think "wet work."
Was your data turned off or on. Where you in a known dead spot without service? Tell more about this place men go when they are supposed to be mowing.
Modern phone-centric culture has turned us into a nation of hair-trigger basket cases.
You have two choices:
1) Go into your settings and turn on Emergency Alerts, or
2) Stick your head between your legs and kiss you tookus goodbye when the Big One hits.
If your using Verizon, I read where they messed up on relaying it.
Who’d you vote for?
You must have paid off the FCC...
