I have a half-brother I've yet to met who lives there...I texted him and he said it was a nightmare...no one knew exactly what to do.

Sounds like it may be a blessing in disguise then. Hopefully it will lead to some better planning in the event there is an actual threat in the future.

Reminds me of a GREAT movie, to an old timer like me anyways. " Fail Safe" is worth a watch to anyone who`s never seen or read the book.

I feel like this warning should need at least 2 people’s authorization to send out. Or maybe it’s just next to the time clock?
In all seriousness, I can’t imagine what that 38 minutes would have been like.
Back to joking- slightly more intense than watching a PWCC auction go out of reach.

The silver lining is that there are millions of conversations going on today about what, exactly, to do in that case. The whole debacle may even end up saving lives.

choke the chicken
flog the bishop
applying the handbrake
beef strokenoff
spank the monkey
shaking hands with the president
the five knuckle shuffle
tug of war with the cyclops
garfunkel your simon
shake hands with the man downstairs
fisting your mister
making the bald man cry
slapping the rooster
punching the clown


Sorry.

I can imagine. Probably not a lot of basements or bomb shelters on an island. Hopefully whoever "accidentally" sent that alert out is looking for a new job.

Seems like it would be prime material for a Southwest Airlines commercial "want to get away?"

Was vacationing with my family in Waikiki in Dec and they tested the sirens, but they couldn’t be heard in our vicinity. We heard about the issue on the news that night. Not sure what I would have done if the we were there during this false alarm? Grabbed the wife and kid and then what? Scary.
