I did an experiment with the EAM...
1) Turned my phone off, in Micro-wave. NO Message
2) Wife’s phone left on. Received msg @ 2:18 ET
3) Land Line phone did not receive msg
4) Radio (tuned to FM) received Msg @ 2:20 ET
5) Laptop Computer on (Personal Wi-Fi) No msg
6) TV (on antenna...no cable/Sat) received msg @ 2:20 ET
Did yours come in both English and Spanish? And did the Spanish one repeat about 10 minutes later? Mine did. Maybe they were trying to get it to the illegals they missed the first time).
Thanks for the results. I should have turned my old radio on. We got on our phones. I figured it would be not only harmless but useful for when the Q plan people want to communicate. Hopefully soon!
My husband, my sister, and I each had our phones on within 20 feet of each other. My laptop was on. Only my phone carried the alert.
Very odd.
