[/quote] Seems like it would make it pretty clear that it's a test, considering we're on very high alert, here, anyway. If it's not real, they just scared the hell out of a lot of people who have never seen a real activation of the EAS in their lifetimes. [/quote] The delay could also be waiting for the other providers to post the message. It seems like it's only AT&T at the moment. [/quote]
Original Message
Watching tv in Atlanta.
All of a sudden, the emergency alert message came up on the tv saying your channel is about to be forced tuned to a local news station. Then it said " you will receive an emergency action message from the White House".
Channel then changed automatically to a local station and then said " stay tuned for an emergeny alert message".
We have AT&T service and have the option to record any stations, but cannot record what is supposedly about to come on the station. We cannot even change the channel. FUCKING WEIRD!!!
Nothing has happened yet. We are still waiting to see what alert is coming.
Anybody else seeing this?
