Terror?
Sit on the lanai and drink a Blue Hawaiian. Wait for the flash.
Anyone who understands the various effects of a nearby nuclear blast will recognize that the Dad who was lowering his kids down a manhole was taking exactly the right action given that no actual blast shelter was nearby.
A classic example of the lunacy of the left.
Critical thinking and the inability to reason is the hallmark of a liberal.
Guess the Bill Clinton administration or 0bama administration had nothing to do with the situation today.
And by the way - President Trump didn’t plan for or build or set off that alarm - one of their own did.
Uh oh. Now they’ll all claim to be suffering from PTSD and claiming benefits.
I wonder if there were any suicides as a result of the false alarm.
Libs in terror, snowflakes melting. What’s not to like about that? Especially when they did it to themselves... probably on purpose.
I have absolutely zero sympathy for these people. I was 15 in the fall of 1962, a high school sophomore and a defensive end on the varsity football team. My father pulled me out of football to help him convert a 1700’s stone spring house on our farm into a bomb shelter. Everyone in my father’s circle was certain that the Russians would nuke us and our spread lay about twenty five miles northwest from Center City Philadelphia. Thanks to that f*cking JFK pushing us to the brink, I had not only nightmares but daytime hallucinations of fireballs and mushroom clouds just over the horizon from the second floor east side of our farmhouse. This went on for a few years but over time they ceased to scare me. To this day I fully expect to see at least one fireball and mushroom cloud before I die. I’d rather it be seen on TV over some over-populated area where the Friday people proliferate.
We were in Maui at that moment and the family took a few minutes to gather to a common location.
As soon as we were all together my first comment was, “This is Bull!”
“Nothing on National news.”
“Kim has no targeting, no re-entry vehicle, and we would have shot it down.”
Much more likely an errant message.
Of course the family preferred to believe the god of their smart phone, than listen to me.
Who knows what they think of my dismissive attitude now, but I’m happy to have introduced some sanity amid the panic.
Sit back, say a little prayer, hug the wife and kids and sit back for the show. Not much else you can do... Why not go out calm as a cucumber knowing your last breath here will result in your first breath in Heaven? That’s pretty cool, right? Dang right!!
“Hi, I’m Bill Clinton and two decades ago I struck a deal with North Korea that essentially guaranteed that they would have nuclear weapons by now and I also green lighted transfer of missile technology to Communist China: how do you like me now?”

Tree?
Who in the Hell goes on vacation and takes their smartphone along? Probably the same king of people that put katsup on hot dogs
More than likely the Lak’anookie’s will put in a 3 step “alert” verification process approved only by committee to preclude any timely warning at all ........
How do you test with people as lab rats?
You should have gone to your safe room! Geez, Louise.
“Just as an aside, if you get the alert, depending on how quick it is, you may have time to brush your teeth and kiss the kids good bye. “
They should include a little graphic or emoticon thing based on the estimated time of arrival. Like 1-2-3-4 cans of beer.
These people should take a bus trip on a mountainous road somewhere like Chile, Peru, India, Nepal, Pakistan or even Thailand.(I had to get Thailand in there.) Builds character and prepares one to meet his maker.
40 years ago in Thailand, my wife and I took a local bus over the mountains to Chang Mai on our honeymoon trip. No guard rails, steep slopes, shocks and suspension completely shot. Driver used both sides of the 2-lane road. In the middle of curves where there were memorials to those who’d perished before, the driver would let go of the steering wheel lift his hands as though in prayer. The Thai monks in the back weren’t at all bothered - they were probably riding for free and get reborn anyway. I was freaked out.
We used to call the buses “orange crush” because they were orange and often seen in roadside junkyards with the front half completely smashed like an accordion.
There’s at least one road in Arizona that’s scary as hell. 2-lane, cut in the side of a cliff, no shoulder and nowhere to go except about 300 feet down. Scary as hell. I passed a spot where two vehicles had a head-on just prior. Huge burn spot, many casualties because neither driver wanted to go over the cliff.
I find it impossible to believe that many people aren’t livid over this fake missle warning. I’ll be shocked if no one raises legal hell over it.
I really don’t think many locals freaked out cause the sirens didn’t go off, was only a cell phone alert.
It’s tough on atheist Democrats when they think they are going to die from a missile sent by a Communist dictator.
