Escape From L.A.
‘Accidental’ Emergency Broadcast Says Everyone In Los Angeles Should Evacuate
‘local stations in Ventura County erroneously broadcast a scary-looking evacuation alert Wednesday night after a brushfire broke out near the city of angels. (https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/california-wildfires/brush-fire-5-freeway-castaic-los-angeles/2975650/) But the alert vastly overstated the danger, telling the whole city of LA and several additional areas to evacuate.
Some even compared it to a similar incident that happened in Hawaii in 2018 (https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a15926356/fcc-report-hawaii-false-alarm-test-misheard/) — except in that case, it was a nuclear warning.’
These sound more like drills to me…. thoughts?
