Florida officials issued an apology to St Lucie County residents after accidentally issuing an early morning emergency alert, but Floridians weren't having any of it.

Make us preferred on Google

There’s nothing like a 4:45 AM emergency alert. Especially when it’s just a drill.

This morning, Floridians from all walks of life experienced the mutual annoyance of a false emergency alert on their phones.


The Florida Division of Emergency Management issued an apology on their Twitter, saying that, “This alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping.”

Governor DeSantis chimed in calling it “a completely inappropriate use of this system”.


Since then there are reports that Governor DeSantis has severed ties with the company that issued the alert.

Twitter can’t help but laugh.











We’ll have to see how fast the majority of Floridians fall right back to sleep 🙄

Fox News Asked A MAGA Rallygoer Why He Was Attending–And They Were NOT Prepared For His Brutal Response

A Fox News reporter got way more than he bargained for after he asked Tom, a Trump rallygoer in South Carolina on Thursday, to tell viewers why he was there.

As luck would have it, Tom was the last person the network likely wanted its far-right viewers to hear from. He actually evoked the Jonestown Massacre in his response.

Tributes Pour In For 'Star Trek' And 'X-Men' Icon Patrick Stewart After His Death At 86

On Thursday, people received the news of the passing of lauded stage, TV, and screen actor Sir Patrick Stewart.
