Did you all get that presidential alert?
I got it over my phone and tv almost at the same time. A first and very scary. Impending doom?

Yes, got the test. Multiple devices at once.
no, no impending doom. It was publicized that it was coming well in advance.

FEMA and FCC I was told sent the alert, POTUS is probably still napping and has no idea what happened.

These were done all over the world this year. No coincidence, I'm sure.

I knew it was coming ... I Shut down my phone & computer and put my phone in faraday cage.

That's funny because the POTUS is old and old people nap!

It was a test. Very much like the old EBS tests of old on the radio and TV.

These systems need to be tested and done on a schedule. The notice of this was out in the news and various media.

We still get the weekly notices which says to me this is a good thing as i tend to ignore the weekly, the presidential puts us on alert.

I’m not really a nut job …well maybe….. But nowadays, I always think there is an ulterior motive to almost everything that “they” do.

He's been busy today about trying to cancel student debt. Which would be nice for the younger generation.

It's not a first though. It happened 2 years ago and then 3 years before that. It's actually required to happen at least every 3 years by federal law.

It was just a test. The last time they tried it it didn't work.
