WATCH OUT! October 4th, almost everyone in the US will be part of the nationwide emergency alert test! 🚨

I asked my Dad about how EAS works, and he even let me fire off a weekly test in the studio :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsp_N83_AzE

The world is not ending (it's just a test)

@geerlingguy we had the same here in Germany a couple of days ago. It was perfectly timed during a (remote) interview for a new working student at our company. My boss was connect via teams iOS App and the alarm kicked him out of the meeting 😂
I guess the alarm ends all calls on iOS

@geerlingguy Here in the Netherlands we just had our monthly siren test, always on the first Monday of the month at noon. I suppose that's also common in tornado country? But we don't have those, they're for any emergency. Short vid I took last month when they started (really close!) when I was on a walk: https://flic.kr/p/2oZY8pf

The old system sounded much better :) Ominous church bell on the same walk last year: https://flic.kr/p/2nqZjN4
