As we're all very aware, the Emergency Alert System test happened yesterday... and it came two minutes earlier than expected.

And people were definitely not pleased about it.

The government warned people about the test with the following information provided by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission):

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the FCC, will conduct nationwide tests of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)."
"The tests are scheduled for October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20 pm EDT, with a back-up test date of October 11, 2023. The alerts must comply with the FCC’s accessibility requirements."

Emphasis on "approximately."

Yes, our phones started blaring with the alert about two minutes before expected, prompting reactions ranging from surprise to outrage.

And many took to social media to vent.






A few, however, did find the early sound-off to be entertaining.


People on X chattered so much about the event that "two minutes early" was trending on the social media platform.

Well, lesson learned. Always read the fine print!

Americans continue to struggle with a nationwide affordability crisis hurting their wallets as well as at the pump. Because of the war President Donald Trump began with Iran earlier this year—and the continued blockade in the Strait of Hormuz—the global oil supply has been limited, causing a surge in prices.
