Chilling video appears to show terrified Hawaiians hiding their kids in storm drains while Trump golfed

What a bs title. The state OEM sent out the alert in error and didnt recall if for 37 minutes so yes, people took it seriously.
Obviously Trump had nothing to do with it.

Was this a mistake? Or was there actually a missile headed for Hawaii that got intercepted or something?
For years, that single solution has been the missile batteries in Alaska and California that would target any long-range warheads fired toward the American mainland, trying to shoot them down as they re-enter the atmosphere. Such an approach, known as “hitting a bullet with a bullet,” remains of dubious effectiveness, even after more than $100 billion has been spent on the effort. Antimissile batteries on ships off the Korean coast and in South Korea protect against medium-range missiles, but not those aimed at American cities.

Probably a spoof if a civil servant employee sent the warning out. So, he/she was working off info they received, a spoof.
