Was that nationwide? I was on my lunch break and it scared the crap out of me.

I'd been waiting on it so I can hassle the office conspiracy nut when nothing happens.

They'll just tell you you're infected with 5G now.

Yes. You should have received a text message about a week ago that the system was being tested today and to not panic

This is the first I’m hearing of the pre-text warning. I found out through memes maybe 3 days ago!

[–] Candybar121@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I never got any warning. The only way I found out was through lemmy

I hadn't heard anything until on public radio 3 minutes prior. then the alert was 2 minutes early!

Yes, it even happened in our schools lol. Also mine for just used Google TTS to read it out. That wouldn't have been weird if it didn't read it again but in Spanish a few minutes later...
