Question:

If a missile did hit one of the islands, would just the island that was hit flip over or would all the islands in the chain flip over in unison?

Who’s responsible, state or Feds?

Tulsi Gabbard (what a whiner) being interviewed on Fox and getting on my last nerve. Trump’s fault. He’s supposed to “sit across the table” from Little Rocket Man and fix the problem of NoKo.

(Those alarms we used to get on Maui warning of tidal waves freaked me out. Nothing like being trapped on a small tropical island.”

I’m gonna take an educated guess that there literally nobody in Hawaii suffering from constipation right now.

From The Hill:

"A former Defense Department official under former President Barack Obama reacted to the false alarm of a ballistic missile headed towards Hawaii on Saturday by saying “thank God the President was playing golf.”

Patrick Granfield, a former strategic communications director at the Pentagon, posted the tweet after Hawaii officials declared the emergency alert was a false alarm."

We’re supposed to go this year but having second thoughts. We were stationed at pearl sub base and love to go back and stay at Hale koa when we can. 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.....

There are a lot of things going on in Hawaii...state and local officials are testing sirens and other warning systems and holding drills, seems someone likely pushed the wrong button this morning.

Hawaii has been named as a threat by North Korea, I am sure people there are at least somewhat on edge...well after what happened this morning with the alert I am pretty sure most people in Hawaii are on edge.

I am sure glad our media is keeping us informed about all the other things going on in the world, and not getting sidetracked worrying about the President using inappropriate language during a private meeting...

Half my family live in Hawaii. This was terrifying for them. I would like to know what agency made this colossal blunder.

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

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.

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 see the radar is picking up tonight a line of thundershowers which extends from a point nine miles south-southeast from Jessup Pennsylvania, along a line six miles and six miles on either side to a point eight miles north-northeast of Secaucus New Jersey. However, the radar is also picking up a squadron of Russian ICBMs, so I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers..."

I am not buying that this was an “accident”. The last thing que’d up in the message system is a ballistic missile warning? Is Hawaii run by total idiots? This was deliberate and thought out.
