National Alert

Had a minor heart attack this morning.  I was in the office, actually doing some work while listening to a podcast through my earbuds.  When all of a sudden my phone started blaring a test alert.  It was incredibly loud, and extremely unexpected because my phone's silent mode was on.  It was so loud, that I couldn't tell whether it was just me or whether everyone else's phone was going off.  Well, apparently, it was everybody.  This was the US government's big emergency alert drill - sending an emergency alert to all radios, TVs and cell phones.  Hopefully I won't ever hear it again, otherwise we'll know we've reached the end times.
