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....

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.

I agree that there may not be anything serious going on, but nevertheless, the powers that be issued a civil emergency for the state with no explanation of why. And it is curious that the police are not automatically notified when one of these warnings is issued. I'm glad that this seems to be a false alarm or at least an overstated one, but it tends to be this sort of thing that makes people less likely to pay attention to real emergencies. And I think TLX has been unfairly castigated for posting this breaking news.
