EMERGENCY ALERT > General Discussion

Posted: 9/9/2014 5:40:42 PM EDT

so far today, I have heard an EMERGENCY TEST ALERT on the radio, TV, and now via the School's emergency alert texting system. Is anyone else hearing a lot of "Test" alerts today? I guess there will be more tests tomorrow leading up to 9/11.

Edit: as I typed the OP, I got an email emergency test alert too.

one came on tv at lunch, and then I heard one on the way back to work on the radio.

EDIT: the one on tv fucked up. it kept on playing for like ten minutes before I changed the channel.

Yawn, seriously, YAWN.

I'll be more worried if the govt actually did their job and closed the borders. Then you'd KNOW something was going to happen.

You mean you don't carry that daily?

I've got my RRA Operator and 360rds of green tip on the door - as well as a "if I have to move away from the vehicle" bag with 150rds of greentip and a M83 TA grenade inside of it - with me wherever I go...

Wait... that's normal right?

FO can translate to simply " GO".
.
But, in this context, FO means to throw an AR15 and (7) 30 round magazines into the truck, before you leave for work in the morning.

Yup. We had a test of our college alert system this morning and just had a fire alarm in our building during class. Not sure if the second was planned or not. The FD came out with 5 trucks.

I noticed, on the way in, what appeared to be a drone, unless my eyes were playing tricks on me. I guess I could have misjudged the distance. I'm not aware of any local LEAs that have drones.
