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.

Not to mention that they haven't issued a televised retraction for the error. You'd think that would be in order.

Sheesh! No on has castigated anyone for posting this news.

Getting hysterical doesn't do any good. No one has mentioned he shouldn't have posted it. My only complaint is TLX has a thin skin and is going off on people in here.

If the instructions were to tune into channel 10 or whatever number it was,.. By darn I would tune into channel 10.. Instead of trying to speculate on line as to what the emergency is, if indeed there is an emergency..

TLX said the 911 operator was rude. Also said he/she called a non emergency 911.. There is no such thing as a non emergency 911. 911 is a number. The non emergency number is NOT 911. Maybe TLX should make himself/herself clear. I am not going to say anything else on the matter. It has gotten rediculous..
