No, there are clips of them livestreaming on instagram or twitch then the alert pops up.

Yeah, those fools! They should have driven to a safe area immediately. I'm sure one of the adjoining states would gladly take them in until things settled down.

Tbh there is nothing for them to do with that alert? Go to the nearest fallout shelter? If I got that text I'd probably just chill, if a missile is coming nothing I can do except hope I don't die.

Did it just say a general message about taking shelter cause if so that doesn't really help much unless it gave specific directions to places that might actually be safe from a missile attack

It's the least they could do. "SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER" sounds better than "SORRY YOU'RE GOING TO DIE"

My brother is stationed there and he said a bunch of his coworkers asked him if there was any safe place that they could drive to. He told them nope and just pray for the best. I asked him what he specifically did and he said he was in the middle of a raid in Destiny 2 when he got the texts. Said if he was going out might as well be doing something that he loved.

Let's be real, if a nuclear missile was headed straight for my city I'd pray to God, and then call my mom and tell her how much I love her and just wait for the inevitable. The likelihood of surviving a blast, let alone the fallout, is next to impossible.

for surviving the blast, but the sewers have entry/exit points that aren't manholes. the fallout will get you

If a missile was coming for me, I'd find some sleeping pills to put me to sleep so I at least don't have to experience the impact.

Other than that, uh, not much you really can do lol.

anyway, I noticed some of the people in the chat were making jokes, and this was while people thought it was real. that is fucked up. for all they knew they were seeing her final moments alive, and they decide to troll

One of my agents got a call from someone asking if they were being bombed right as this all started. Granted, it's not that we'd have any clue since Virginia is quite separated from Hawaii, but still. If alarms are going off and you have a ballistic missile threat going on, why is your first inclination to call tech support when you think you're about to be vaporized?

Especially when it's Navy tech support and you're guaranteed to be talking to someone very far away from you.

I get that people are mad about this being a false alarm...shouldn't more people be upset that they had nowhere to really run to?

I mean even for me over here in Southern California I wouldn't know where to take shelter if this were to happen...my best bet would be to drive as far inland as I could.

There were choke people doing just that. I heard the whole tunnel was just red lights and people were getting out of their cars to understand into them. Im on the Windward side in Kailua specifically and while I was terrified at the time, I now believe that it's safer here than anywhere else because they'll probably be aiming for the leeward side and the mountains are perfect shield for that kinda blast. We'd obviously still be fucked when it came to fallout, burnat least we'd have a chance to get away m
