Somebody decided to run a test on the Emergency Broadcast System and my cell phone started blaring a fog horn alarm at top volume at 4:45am !!!!
What the ever living hell!!??!!
Mind you, those of you who remember me may recall that I do rescue work with FEMA USAR. So I am on call for disasters. When an alarm goes off in the middle of the night, it generally means that something has gone terribly wrong. My adrenaline kicks in wondering whether there has been an earthquake or tornado somewhere. My system gets so flooded with energy, I had no shot of going back to sleep.
So thanks a bunch AT&T and whoever decided to pull the cord on that particular alarm.
On edit, it looks like it was state wide across multiple carriers. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2023/04/20/florida-emergency-alert-test-today-why-did-you-get-an-alert-how-to-view-it-should-you-turn-it-off/70133335007/
So I blame DeSantis now. Why the hell not.
Big Basketball Day for me Today!
I have two basketball teams to root for today in the Final Four today.
I am an alumnus of University of Miami and have followed the team closely since the program was re-started in 1985. I even had season tickets for a decade when I lived closer. Go Canes!
And...
I live just a few miles from Florida Atlantic University. It's an exciting time for the plucky little local team. Go Owls!
I love a good Cinderella story. Today there are two.
Wish me luck!
