[quote:a Dude, not THE Dude:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzg5MDIxNTYyXzU4NDBDRjZC] [quote:joinca:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzg5MDIxMzI1X0E2QzVFMzdF] [quote:justanothergranny:MV8yMzkxMDE5Xzg5MDIwODA1XzIwMUEwOTc4] Got an email from our cable provider today about the upcoming FEMA/FCC test of Emergency Alert System. Tried to copy/paste it but screwed it up. Need joinca tutoring me!!! lol Anyway, Says the alert SOUND will last 5 MINUTES, then the actual alert will start and tv programs will be interrupted. It ended by advising that when the alert is over, some TVs will have to be turned off/rebooted to return to normal broadcasting, WTF??? Never had the test of the EAS sound for FIVE MINUTES, nor did it require rebooting my tv!!! WTF is this new system???? [/quote] Here is the twitter link to FEMA about this.....:hf: There is an opt in or opt out setting in cell phones to receive this if you are concerned. "The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will test the nation’s public alert and warning systems at 2:20 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Aug. 11. Test messages will be sent to TVs and radios, along with select cell phones that have opted-in to receive test messages." [twitter]https://twitter.com/fema/status/1422285686170869774[/twitter] [/quote] For those who haven't opted out, it's usually under notification settings under "Wireless Emergency Alerts" or something similar. One of the fields should be something like "State and Local Tests." Make sure that's turned off. I'm not worried about it, but I hate random test alerts anyway so I always have it turned off. In notifications you can turn off all emergency alerts too, but it depends on the provider. Mine uses stock android so all of the alerts are separated into their own permissions. [/quote]

I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
