I was in town today eating lunch. I heard one phone in the restaurant go off with the alert, mine didnt. Had to have been a couple dozen cells there. Only the one seemed to get the alert.

A half-azzed effort at best.

Kinda like anything the government does.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

When they announced this on the radio they said all cell phones wouldn`t get it why who knows.
Probably nothing strange about it but now days who knows, seen a vid by a guy that spent a lot of time in the WH and he said that he`s worried about the Demonrats deep state setting off one of those EMP`s to interrupt things because they`er getting caught .
We`re living in strange times indeed.

Let them set off an EMP, those nitwits won't survive 2 weeks without electricity, running water, refrigeration! Those of us that have the skill set ( all of us here) can and will survive just fine!

I think Trump is just looking after our safety, there could be lots of things that we can be warned about like fires and natural events or say when Kavanaugh is confirmed there might be riots in the streets by the walking dead .

My wife got it on her phone this morning. My phone is what you would call a house phone, pick it up and punch in the numbers, works every time unless the line is down.

I got the test text, too. If an EMP happens, my self described Objects d'Art would still work to burn nitrocellulose and force metallic items through a tube with spiral grooves at 2 to 3,000 fps. Those fools with the guns requiring some type of chip would be in deep Kimchi.

I didn't get it on mine. I actually heard someone say it would be used to notify people if there was an EMP attack.
