An emergency alert went off on my wife's phone for a second time at 2.50, and 26 minutes later I still couldn't fall asleep. I am also anxiously waiting for my alarm to ring any time. I don't want to disable emergency alarms because they are important, but if they keep sending them in the middle of the night again and again at different hours they aren't leaving me much choice.
And then there was the time where they accidentally told the entire state of Hawaii “lol sorry guys ICBMs incoming you’re gonna be nuked hold on to your butts” and then didn’t do ANYTHING about it for 30 or so minutes
Fuck that system, it's a copy of the Americans' Amber Alert and they have plenty of stories of it's misuse. Turn it off. Get your rest.
Never really gave it much thought, but are Amber alerts for general emergencies?
