WHAT WAS THAT? - Emergency broadcast system test named a shitload of heartland states THEN said "this is a test"

Your Bot skills needs some work there, sparky.

But keep it up, bump this thread so I can find somebody that heard this thing too.

you know you do, riding the brake in the fast lane with dippy at your side listening to AM radio..

Am radio? Nice.. They have some good stations you can listen too. Thanks for reminding people about AM radio.

Such wisdom. Mom must be proud.

Do you think you heard Kentucky along with hearing Tennessee.

Did it seem like the alert primarily only mentioned states that are in the heartland, but are also located west of the Mississippi River.

Yellowstone or the New Madrid Seismic Zone could be waking up.

I cant find a thread about it and you guys are going to think I'm full of shit but..
I couldn't post right after it happened, but at about 10:30 this morning I was driving North on I35 through Austin when the local station I was listening to did an Emergency broadcast system test. A fucking weird one...
It did the beep beep beep thing and said there is an emergency alert for a shitload of heartland states. It caught me so off gaurd, I was listening for Texas (of course) but I remember Texas,Kansas,Oklahoma,Tennessee, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, and others I cant remember. But all heartland states.
"All" of the states listed, not parts of each state is what it said.
DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THIS?
I figured by now there would be a thread on this, I just got home from my trip, and.... nothing.
If this is a warning, its gotta be an EMP. That's all I can figure would strike such a large area.
Someone please tell me ya'll heard this so I know I'm not going insane.

That's why I really want to find someone else who heard the message. I want to know what I missed of it, what other states and the specific warning at the beginning of the test.
I can find nothing about it on the interwebs.

Thank you!
I didnt notice if it said civil defense, I was teasing the wife about nukes coming when it began, and quickly shut up when they started listing states. So I missed the very beginning - due to being a jackass.
It broke in midway through a song, I thought that weird too because most tests are during breaks.

Did they say Wisconsin?

Thanks for trying to remember, I appreciate it.

I can well understand you feeling rattled by hearing such an alert, test or no test.

Take note that Texas has its own stand-alone electrical power grid.

Other than that, there is an Eastern power grid and a Western power grid that only recently we are being told are co-dependent; one goes down, they both go down.

I believe Alaska and Hawaii each have their own power grids.

However, Alaska's power grid could be linked in with that of Canada or the US Western power grid.

Not yet. I can't find anything on the net about the test.
Since I live 2 hours from Austin, I was just passing through, I don't know anyone that might have been listening to that station to ask.
My dad was in the shop with the radio on all day in East Texas, and he didn't hear any test.
So it's a stalemate until an Austin dweller stumbles across this thread I guess.

It sounds like someone may have hacked the early warning system. They have been warning us that cyber security attacks could become an issue.

This would also coincide with the Kansas lawmakers having a prompt emergency meeting with the DHS officials today. It was reported that this meeting may have been cyber security related.

maybe kansas is the new madrid EQ safezone if it goes and the continuity of government setup is in Kansas.

From what i have understood for the past few months, a nuke will hit Nashville on July 18 of this year prophetic.
Islam blamed. Most likely Russia will have a hand in this
No kidding. Only a handful of people know this
