Yes this happened to me and my wife.

Alert came in one the phone (screaming at us really) then when you clicked on the notification. Bam blocked because we didn't have a twitter account.

Can you share a screenshot of the alert? If it's an android phone, you can find historical alerts under "Settings".

Huh that's interesting. Never knew that.

It's crazy to me that's all the info I cluded in the Amber alert itself.

Every alert I've ever gotten here in Arizona had the relevant info on the alert, regardless of how large that might make it.

Why the fuck would California shorten the info in the first place?

Unfortunately I haven't received any since I got a new phone, so my history is empty.

Oh good, the X link is hidden behind a broken Bitly link. WTF are these people even thinking? Who is in charge of this? Such levels of incompetence should be grounds for firing.
