The whole of Florida USA was woken up just after 4:00 AM this morning by the loud noise of an amber alert on their phones. It turns out the alert was "just a test"! A test that time of the morning!? They must either be very stupid or crazy!

THe UK government plan to force this on us soon. It's nice to know they have nothing important to work on.

3PM this Sunday for the test.
Hopefully slightly less chance of being woken up at that time!

I assume you mean 80kph - you wouldn't want to be seen encouraging illegal behaviour, after all.

I've disabled emergency notifications

I can only disable the sound. So this was done.

Thanks for the reminder, I think one phone going off per household is more than enough.

reminds me of the emergency drills they had in the USSR. probably they had some in the USA, too. just the US was not obsessed with the drills like the USSR.
in the past 3 years the west has got a lot traits of the Warsaw Pact countries. sadly...

Typical government behavior.And there probably won't even be an apology, let alone anyone getting disciplined or fired.

Like all of us here got disciplined or fired for every mistake in our code (that undoubtedly made it to production)? 
Luckily, the world doesn't work like that.

Oh dear. It's bad enough when a weather alert for an area of the state hundreds of miles away comes through.
I have nearly all alerts turned off on my phone. I can look out the window for myself.
When we were in L.A. last week someone "thought she smelled smoke" and pulled the hotel fire alarm at 04:00 one morning.

Around here, people complain if the weather forecast isn't on target three days ahead.
The forecast reaches eight days ahead, but we all know that the further ahead, the less reliable. Usually, we get the wind, rain and cold in the (approximate) order forecast, but it often is delayed or comes earlier than suggested in the long-time forecasts.
The view from my window isn't great, but I don't know of anyone with a view where they can see the weather three days ahead, and certainly not eight days.

Three story building was evacuated one time until fire department showed up to clear it because someone failed to follow the instructions on the microwave popcorn that says to watch it.
