I heard the test for the emergency broadcast system on the radio and tv today.
The one I heard on tv seemed to be a little different. At the end of it it said:
"If this had been a real emergency alert this alert would have been for the entire state of Florida.
I don't think I've ever heard that before.
Question: When you hear via radio or see via tv these warnings do you do anything different or just carry on going about your business, do you assume it is another test or do you actually follow an alert procedure path.

The emergency broadcast you heard was probably organized by your local government

Its the price we pay for having hot chicks in Tbacks, lovely sunsets. And plenty of things to do around here..
Now
Showers...and a few thunderstorms...moving east at 5 mph...will affect areas between Boca Grande and Port Charlotte... Tice... Suncoast estates...North Fort Myers and Morse shores...until 400 PM EDT. Gusty winds and frequent cloud to ground lightning is expected with the stronger storms. If caught outside...Crouch down in a low spot...away from tall objects. Heavy rains will cause ponding of water on roads...and minor flooding of poor drainage areas.

Blimey it seems you lot in the USA have these sirens going and tv alerts on a monthly basis, we would be lucky in the UK to see two buses in the same week lol
It is good to hear that you get these tests, but what keeps popping up in my head is are you been "conditioned" to accept these warnings and carry on as normal.
I ask because if another "terrorist attack" happens on the scale of 9/11 or bigger, whether genuine or sadly to say generated by your own leaders, then a fair few of you might just shrug your shoulders on hearing the warnings and say it is just another test.
