I ignored it. Wide variety of reactions by the locals. Most didn't know what to do, or immediately did they wrong thing...panicked and went for a drive. On the one hand, folks are now more aware of what to do in the case of a real emergency. On the other hand, people may not take another warning seriously, though I didn't take the first one seriously, so what do I know. I guess I would have expected the air raid sirens to sound, which they didn't, it was real.

Everyone is fine.

This post probably won't last long but we need to wipe out that crazy little TROLL over there and the Moron that gave him the tools to be able to be a Threat.

The last time the warning went off it was too late.

I figured that if all my gadgets were going off at the same time with an alert, jets were roaring out of here like bats out of hell and my coconut was ringing, I would'a REALLY got worried. I just said, "Well, I hope they got a good gamer kid at the controls of them missile defense things up on Kauai. But it did put about a half hour delay into my vacation to the sunny side of the island. Looks like Maui was doing pretty good too. :D

Aloha
