Hi everyone, I just spoke to my partner's dad, he didn't know about that alert at 3 today, so I thought, well, there might be someone here who could use that info or reminder.There will be loud phone test emergency alert today at 3, you can either switch your phone off completely to avoid hearing it, or you can turn off your notifications for extreme alerts. If anyone needs more info, I am sure if you will google it there will be lots about it everywhere, it is everywhere in news. Yet, my partner's dad didn't know, that is why I am mentioning it:-)
Have a lovely afternoon everyone:-)

    Thanks @Superbetty. I'm sure your partner's dad is glad you made him aware. I can only imagine how startling it would be if you weren't expecting it.

    Great idea long over-due. Reminded me of the 1960's at junior school every couple of weeks we had the alarm go off and had to get under our wooden desk, as though they would have protected us from an incoming nuclear attack !!!😎
