“BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL”.

“BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL”.

My phone blared the alert warning sound, and I'll tell you, that message got us from the living room to the walk-in closet in 30 seconds or less.

Couldn't find anything on line via my phone, at ten minutes wondered why the air raid sirens weren't going, another ten minutes or more before we found news sites saying oops, and forty minutes before the Dems bothered to use the same alert system to tell us they goofed.

We were home so no idea how it went elsewhere, but standing in the closet waiting for the walls to blow in was interesting enough.

Yet another case of the sheer incompetence of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, which has ruled here for over half a century.

Upside to the non-drill: we will move an emergency radio, water, and some food out of the kitchen and into the closet. This is pretty much the only emergency for which this makes sense, but for this one it does.

Downside: US Pacific Command headquarters is on the next ridge, and we overlook Pearl Harbor, so we may well be floating around the ionosphere before we know there is a real attack. So it goes. Do what we can.
