"ballistic missile threat inbound" (1 Viewer)

It was a little scary. I live on Maui so I wasn't worried about a direct hit (more likely Pearl Harbor or Barking Sands on Kauai), but more worried about nuclear fallout. I was driving with a friend and told him, "there goes my 401K." 15-minutes till impact is not a lot of time. Cell service was jammed up, but texting worked and let my wife know I wouldn't make it home and would be riding it out at my friend's house. Some sirens went off. He turned on the TV, but there was nothing about a missile attack. That's when we suspected it was a false alarm. Social media was saying it was false alarm, but I wanted more concrete evidence. Over 30-minutes later we got the all clear. I did learn something from this. As soon as you get the attack threat, start collecting water. Once you get nuclear fallout you can not go outside to get water, if water service gets cut off. I have empty water jugs for hurricanes.
I kept thinking, "this is gonna hurt"
