This just scared the shit out of me.

  1. This hasn’t been used since the first test a while ago, I completely forgot about it

  2. Didn’t expect to get jump scared by the fucking weather system today.

  3. Good to see the system works, last time they did a trial my phone didn’t even get anything.

    Sadly I’ve a few elderly folk I know who I’ve been trying to get in contact with and warn about the red warning, but fucking Three can’t get its shit together to call them.

  4. Same 😂

    It’s like a pop up you get trying to find a free Premier league stream

  5. The entire bus got it there! I got mine last agter everyone else lol.

    Felt unsettled and left out at the same time!

  6. Apparently the alert made a different sound in Londonderry to the one made in Derry.

  7. They could tone down the alert sound or they’ll have to follow up with ambulances in some houses.

  8. I have wine,crisps, candles and I went to vape store. I’m definitely well prepared for the storm.

  9. Not going to lie. I’m freaking out over this storm. Stay in and it’ll mostly be over this time tomorrow. 

  10. Me too. Especially since I disabled emergency alerts on my phone,but this one came through anyway.

  11. I was just preparing for a nice, relaxing bath, getting some zen tunes on my phone.

    Let’s just say my bath is no longer relaxing. 😬

  12. Didn’t get the notification when they first tested the system, still didn’t get one now!

  13. Was a bit surreal to hear it going off on everyone’s phone in Tesco at once

  14. They need to fix this alert. Whatever way I grabbed my phone, closed the message and stopped the alarm before I could see what it was. Same thing with my partner

  15. Is it actually serious enough for this to be sent? I feel like the is for nukes and hurricanes and stuff

  16. Im actually horrified like i dont know what to do i

  17. A spoken “You’re all going to die” alert would probably be less alarming. 🙂

  18. Mine went off on the bus, along with several others…..

  19. It’s funny that I never get ANY alerts , I know last time when they tested it I was surprised it didn’t work on my phone , now the same thing again.
    I guess the government doesn’t think I need to be warned in case of nukes, apocalypse or super strong winds. They probably know I’m a tough cookie and I’ll be ok no matter what… Orrr they don’t think I deserve saving

  20. Been going on in advanced countries for years, it saves lives

  21. I’m supposed to be flying into aldergrove tomorrow at 8pm, guess ill be fucked. Anyone have any idea?

  22. Interestingly just before i pulled into my drive, my work iPhone (in the door pocket) started blaring and I thought my car was about to go into limp mode, luckily it was just the warning.

    but then 5 minutes later my Android started blaring.

    So with this undeniable proof, unfortunately I can say that apple would give you 5 more minutes to contemplate life if there ever was a nuke launched

  23. AWOOOGA!!

    AWOOOGA!!

    YOU’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!

    PLEASE DO NOT BE ALARMED BY THIS ALARM.

  24. Gave me a kick up the arse to get everything charged, just in case. I’d already checked that I’d enough food and loo roll for the next 24 hours.
