Just received a text on my phone about this in Manhattan. Has a large flashing red triangle with exclamation mark in it.
I have alerts turned OFF on my phone, by the way.

Emergency Alert: Extreme

WANTED: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28-yr-old male. See media for pic. Call 9-1-1 if seen.

I believe cell carriers are required to send "Emergency" alerts through, even if you have them disabled.

Anyway, I had an eerie experience on the train this morning. Just as we were entering the Harlem tunnel on the Metro North line, the Emergency Broadcast tone was heard throughout the entire train. I thought it was coming over the train loudspeaker but it was every single cellphone on the train that was making that sound along with the message about the manhunt for that Ahmad Khan Rahami scum. Pretty amazing that millions of people can receive such a message at the same exact time.

Isn't today the beginning of some BIG UN summit meeting. Kings, Heads of State visiting for it?

Oh yea, they know the danger.
