Emergency test alert Wednesday

'Get ready to not freak out. On Wednesday, October 4 at 2:20 p.m. ET, every TV, radio and cellphone in the United States should blare out the distinctive, jarring electronic warning tone of an emergency alert.

It's a test – only a test.

Officially, the trial is called the Nationwide Emergency Alert Test. You know it's a test and not an actual emergency because it's accompanied by an explanation of the test.

No, it's not a national conspiracy to infect people with nanoparticles. Yes, it does go back all the way to the Cold War in the 1950s. No, we can't play you the tone – we could get hit with a big fine if we did.

But mostly the test is an important way to make sure that if something really bad – and really big – happens, Americans can be warned quickly.

The alert will air at the same moment across every time zone in the country starting at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4. The time will vary across time zones, so look to see when you might be alerted.

2:20 p.m. ET
1:20 p.m. CT
12:20 p.m. MT
11:20 a.m. PDT
10:20 a.m. ADT
8:20 a.m. HST

The test is scheduled to last approximately one minute. It will only go out once, there will be no repeats.

The 5G microchips some of us have implanted are not going to repsond well to this.

^^^

We are not the only ones performing first-time nationwide tests next week...

Russia Nationwide Drills

Meaning, a great time to mount a real attack I suppose?

'If your phone is set to WiFi or airplane mode, it won't receive the alert because the message goes out over the cellular broadcast system.'


Maybe we need Wi-Fi or airplane mode for our 'chips?

We get test once per week I think

That is great, because the emergency warning system worked so well for the people in Maui.

Thanks for the notice! Time to check if I have enough tin foil....

Worked almost as good at the refinery here.

Not much a warning will do for you when you have 60 mph winds driving the flames across the island.

Why not have it on April 1

That is also National Taco day according to my local Mexican restaurant....

Simple coincidence or Nefarious collaboration????

Hmmmmm.

I'm going to be prepared, I'm shutting my phone, TV, and radio off between noon and about 4 pm. I expect its going to be the best time of the day, nothing is going to be interrupted. .

Same..... compete power-down here. Not to sound conspiratorial, but this part had me wondering about the real reason for this 'alert': "In case the Oct. 4 test is postponed due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the back-up testing date is Oct. 11. " Wait a minute, isn't this a test to determine the effectiveness of the two systems IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY?? Yet bad weather will postpone the tests...... hmmmm.... never trust FEMA.

there saying turn off your phone.pull the battery if you can or put your phone in the micro wave.they say if you shut it off you can still recd it.is this a test to see if we turn into zombies of if they can control us.you can put it in air plane mode.something fishy about this because of fema and our goverment that i dont trust

Might want to just pop it in a three cornered pyramid for the duration.

We shall see. Lots of chatter about 5G & those vaxxxxxxxxxxxxxd. If you haven't heard about this yet, you are not following the current affairs.

Sounds like there's a conspiracy to keep people safe in the event of an emergency...

"Not to sound conspiratorial.." Proceeds to sound conspiratorial....

Cancelling drills for real-world weather events is perfectly normal.

They have been testing tornado sirens around here on the first Monday of the month for the past 40 years. But if there is a chance of severe weather on the first Monday they will cancel the test so people don't confuse the test with the real thing and mistakenly ignore it.

My goodness some of you guys need to put away the tin foil. What the heck is shutting off you radios going to do? Keep the mind control waves out of your cerebellum?

Yea, I'm shutting everything off, but then there is one of those new 5G towers about 150' from where I'm sitting right now.

I shut my computer off for the YK 2,000 too. Nothing happened to it when the new century rolled around....

Maybe I'm just using this as an excuse to disconnect from the world for a few hours.

My phone will be dead in airplane mode and in a microwave. Cable will be unhooked too. Anything else?

Considering the idiot in charge here, I'm actually thankful for any warnings.....just in case the idiots over in N. Korea or Russia decide to pull stupid stuff. Just sayin...

Microwave, what’s that?

Y2K hype all over again.

I got it and feel good about it, now can sleep safely knowing it works LOL.


(BTW someone's clock is off by a minute...........is it me?? )

I got a headache about 2 minutes after and it’s still here

My phone smells like leftover chicken wings and pizza from being in the microwave. Now I’m hungry

I was smoking a cigar outside relaxing listening to Ozzy Osborne songs when i was rudly interrupted by this alert!Lol I turned off my phone then it went off on our tv in the living room.

This was a test. If it was,an actual emergency, you would be asked to stick you head between your legs and kiss your butt good by.

I was standing and talking with a buddy at 2:18 EST when his phone went off. Mine never did.

Ozzy phuckin' ROCKS!!!!

Listen to him every single day.

FTFY.

I did turn my phone off about 12:30, but forgot it was off. I finally remembered around 4:30, so I turned it on then. All is well here.

After the alert...my phone started talking backwards saying "Paul is dead" over and over again...
Then it started spewing green vomit. Finally, a hand came out of it wearing a leather glove with five sharp blades,
that looked like fingers, as it swiped at me....

Saw him live 4 times. He is nuts on stage

WOW! Thats the phone I had from 2003-2005 until it stopped working. Was told 2 year lifespan MAX! What a blast from the past.
