Yep. You’re correct, of course.
I, personally, would have benefited in no way what-so-ever from an alert that caused me to use situational awareness to help promote my own survival in such a situation.
We are all just simple, stupid sheep and must do nothing but panic when there is possible danger coming at us.
Always best to just let our betters do all our thinking and worrying for us.
p. Youre correct, of course.
You don’t alarm the public unless the warning has at least some credibility. Otherwise we’d be getting this sort of stuff on a constant basis.
