A few minutes of sheer panic as my phone alerted me of an incoming ballistic missile coming to Hawaii with notice that “This is Not a Test”. Took a few minutes to get confirmation this message went out in error. Waiting for my adrenaline levels to normalize.
@etymologik Stay indoors and away from windows, which is pretty unhelpful advice if nukes are raining down.
Well, that would shield you some from the burn radiation that people outdoors experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It really did make a difference to survival rates.
@evamarie @etymologik If they are inbound, I would rather just die quick tbh
@evamarie We heard no sirens, and I got no Civil defense notification - from where did your phone notify you?
@Stizz Yes, my phone started altering at 8:05 am with the notice “This is not a test”. It got my attention, and I honestly began to shake.
@Stizz No sirens here, either, but I began to listen. Immediately turned on to CNN, and they weren’t broadcasting about it, so it made me feel better. If it were an actual crisis, I think the news would cover it.
@evamarie I am so sorry you had to go through that 😔
@BlueTiger Thank you. The whole State went through a collective freak out. I’m out running errands at a few shops and it’s all anyone can talk about. After realizing you’re not going die by nuclear annihilation, there’s a pretty gleeful relief.
@evamarie
So what are you supposed to do if it is NOT a test?
