Was that nationwide? I was on my lunch break and it scared the crap out of me.

I'd been waiting on it so I can hassle the office conspiracy nut when nothing happens.

They'll just tell you you're infected with 5G now.

This is the first I’m hearing of the pre-text warning. I found out through memes maybe 3 days ago!

I never got any warning. The only way I found out was through lemmy

I hadn't heard anything until on public radio 3 minutes prior. then the alert was 2 minutes early!
