Florida's EmergencyAlert System ran a test on seemingly every phone at the state at nearly 5 a.m. — or much earlier. And they're set to continue.
Someone in Tallahassee has some explaining to do. Countless phones woke their owners today before the sun had risen as part of a test of the state’s Emergency Alert system. The scheduled time of the test was 4:50 a.m. And at that time — a couple minutes early, actually — those countless phones awakened with that horrible sound that either means imminent doom or some sort of silver/purple/pink alert that leads folks to turn off such alerts in the first place.
