Emergency Alert,?

[Anonymous]

Did anyone else get woken at 430 with some kind of phone alert? In my haste to turn it off I must have deleted it. Not a good way to start the year!

[Anonymous]

Where are you located?

[Anonymous]

Yes but it’s over already. Snow Squall Warning until 530 am. I don’t even know what that is.

[Anonymous]

Yes I got it. Woke me up after 3.5 hours of sleep. Ugh

[Anonymous]

I didn’t ( moco)

[Anonymous]

Thanks!

[Anonymous]

We got it too (MoCo), and went back to sleep. Yes, was annoyed, esp when our 2 phones went off 30 seconds apart

It was so loud and scared me! I hadn’t been asleep that long. I’m in Potomac in MoCo.

[Anonymous]

Yes. I live in MoCo.

My phone is silenced at night, and I initially slept through it but it woke up my husband who was startled, half asleep and probably still dreaming, and he shook me awake saying there was a fire alarm. My phone was lit up, so I figured what was going on. But I had to spend ten minutes calming him down.

Of course he fell back asleep quickly, while I was left awake for over an hour—listening to the wind.

I also noticed that I had received multiple texts from friends overnight between 1am and 4am. PSA: no need to send a happy new year text in the middle of the night.

PS - It’s Happy New Year…not Happy New Years.

Yes we got it in Bethesda because my husband had not turned that "feature" off on his phone. Go to Notifications and you should be able to find it.

The only reason I didn't hear it was that my phone was silenced. I can still find the alert on my weather app. It was for a snow squall. There's a little bit of tiny frozen snowflakes on my windshield and driveway. I'm in Bethesda.

Did you take the necessary precautions that a few snowflakes requires?

Yes! I said hello to each and everyone of them. They're all unique, you know.

I heard the alert too and I couldn’t go back to sleep but the squall was severe. I was looking out the window and could not believe how windy and snowy it was. Scary. And now there’s no sign of anything at all.
