This is kinda freaky, I guess it makes sense that the gov. would be testing this now with the impending nationwide EAS test, but I wonder why only certain people (NY/NJ Verizon customers) were chosen to receive these messages? And without prior notification that we even had some EAS app downloaded to our phones by them? And the message itself was so dire; and only in small text at the top did it say "Test" When I got the second alert this afternoon, an option box popped up asking me if I wanted to kee receiving alerts, I hit No, then was brought to a manage app screen with checkboxes, and was able to uncheck Emergeny and Amber Alerts, but get this, the top option said "Presidential-level Alerts" and i was unable to uncheck that.... Something strange is afoot here...
