ALERT - Georgia State Civil Emergency Declared Until After 2am - No Details Given.

Local Television, 911 | Lurkerx

[mhking]

Around 9:30-10P

[tet68]

Don't know, but that is the only thing mentioned on the
radio.

[null and void]

Heck, I used to wash my hands in xylene...

[nevergore]

It's Saturday Night, 911 is always "swamped".....Not that I doubt your veracity but the claim cannot be verified independently.....Not one local news station, not any local radio station, Not any national television news station nor the emergency radio network for the state of Georgia.
Provide some link, station broadcast etc. that can be verified or put on your asbestos shorts, it's going to get warm on this thread....
"You report, we decide."

Thanks. It just amazes me that a civil emergency warning can go out, and the police know nothing about it. The 911 people are aware that it exists, but don't know why. Seems like the system's a little broken.

[TheLurkerX]

Tell you what. Call the non emergency 911 number and ask them yourself. You can say you're sorry afterward.

Hazmat spill, two tank cars derailed SW. Atlanta. Xylene but the tankers were empty.

Bob, you got time to handle this one? Sorry, only level 4 (the tanks are empty afterall). karri

Hope no decent people get hurt - GA is a fine, "moonlight through the pines" kinda place with a lotta salt o' the earth, "Hold ma co-cola, that ain't right, and I'm gonna do something about it!" kinda people.

Grow a thicker skin. No one besides you is bashing anyone.

[TheLurkerX]

You chastised me for something that didn't happen, because you didn't read the post right. How about you just say you're sorry and promise to do better next time. I wouldn't need to grow a thicker skin if you'd read a little more carefully.

[Centurion2000]

any updates ?

[go_usna]

shhh....don't dial 911... it is a double double secret emergency.... no of the tv stations, radio stations or emergency stations are suppose to know about it.... all Freepers, set your decoder rings to the letter "H" and don you tin foil hats! Await further instructions!!!!

[gracex7]

maybe we should cut TLX some slack. After all, this is taking place in his state. If something like this were issued here (in Michigan) with no info forthcoming, I dare say my heartrate might increase a beat or two.

[TheLurkerX]

You know what, I don't need this grief. I try to bring something that is a potential emergency to the attention of everyone, and all I catch is crap. I'm going to go upstairs, call the non-emergency number again, and I'll see what's going on. And when I find out, I'm keeping it to myself.

[go_usna]

Ok, this is my state too! There is nothing really serious going on... I think everyone just needs to chill, and Texas Mom was right, and she has nothing to aplogize for....

[Slewfoot]

WGST reported a few minutes ago it was an error. Should have been an apb in middle ga for a missing fla child, some one coded wrong.

"Tell you what. Call the non emergency 911 number and ask them yourself. You can say you're sorry afterward."

Bwahahahahaha...Yeah all Freepers in Georgia call 911 and tell them that TheLurkerX on FreeRepublic said to......

NeverGore :^)

[hangin' chad]

Thanks man...finally some sanity on this thread. "Georgia State" or "State of Georgia"...calling 911. What the "f" is everyone talking about on this thread. I've heard more cogent thought processes from a group of kindergarten kids. I live in Georgia and everything's fine so far. Sleep tight!

[TheLurkerX]

OK, that was petty. For all of you that genuinely care about what is going on, I'll post it. The rest of you can kiss me where I sit.

911 said that the alert went out because a missing child in central Georgia had been spotted. The went to put out the feed, and it got dropped before they finished the communication. Everyone can rest easy.

Thanks so much to everyone who didn't take me seriously.

[Libertina]

Hang in there TheLurkerX. It's FReeper action like this that makes FR so valuable. Ignore the garbage - they must just be having a bad Saturday night. Now get upstairs and some back as soon as you find out more details! Cheers!
