I got it on my cell, startled me. Started off with repeated squawking very similar to a tornado warning.

Even if you turn the cell off, it will still be done, just on a delay basis.

My wife and I have IPhones from a joint Sprint account. Mine is a 7 Plus and her’s is still a 6. Her’s alerted twice — mine zero.

Any special reason you’re on this thread? Just enjoy trolling? How much are you being paid? Relieved that Trump didn’t do anything to out your lefty paymasters?

You were called out for being wrong with facts and a link, so now you try to save face by mocking the whole thing as boring? Feeble tactic.

My results of the emergency alert test:

AM radio broadcast interrupted: succeeded
AT&T cell phone: failed
NOAA weather alert radio: failed

The local National Weather Service phone number has been off-hook all morning today. Related? (I've been trying to call in some rainfall amounts.)

There was a rumor that if this got started under Obama he would do just that

I wasn’t wrong. The alert is sent by FEMA. HUMA

Hey, Mr. RightField has the same phone ... he did get the message tho. I can’t pry it out of his hands. We have Verizon.

The local NWS phone finally started working again and I was able to phone in my rainfall report.

The forecaster I spoke with said that his AT&T cell phone (like mine) didn't get the message.

“Well, that was anticlimactic.”

Made the left’s heads explode, probably. That would be great enough for me!

Recall that Obama allegedly wanted an internet ‘kill-switch’ to stop communications.
