On a more serious note, is their a military training op going on in the state? It might be a misconfigured jammer.

Reports near Eglin AFB in Florida say that remote garage door openers are not working due to AF testing.

GARAGE DOOR GLITCH

A new military two-way radio system is keeping garage doors shut in communities near a Florida Panhandle base and residents may have to change the frequencies on their remote-controlled opening devices to make them work.

Homeowners in Niceville, Valparaiso and the Crestview area reported jammed garage door openers during recent testing of the new $5.5 million system at Eglin.

Air Force officials Tuesday said the contractor, Motorola Inc., will try to minimize the problem but they offered no guarantees.
