Remember, the nationwide emergency alert test is today at 1:20p CT. A few notes…
*If you have a hidden phone due to a domestic violence/abuse situation, be sure and power the phone down completely. And, be aware the tone could sound when you turn the phone back on.
*The tone you will hear is the same one used for tornado warnings, high impact flash flood warnings, and amber alerts. It is nothing new.
*You will NOT hear the loud tone for 30 minutes. It will be the same short burst you receive for tornado/flash flood warnings.
*Please don’t turn off emergency alerts on your phone. If you do that, you will miss tornado warnings. And, miss the chance to help someone with a child that has been kidnapped when an amber alert is issued. WEA alerts always need to be ON.
*There is also an EAS (Emergency Alert System) portion of the test that local radio/TV stations will air.
*You won’t turn into a zombie, and today doesn’t mark the beginning of World War 3. Please don’t listen to the imbeciles on TikTok.
Extending a great big thank you to our news partners at The Advtertiser-Gleam for sharing my story with the community!

This experience was nothing short of terrifying.
My photographer and I covered a memorial service for a murdered teen, and ended up in the middle of a crime scene overnight.
We feared for our lives as a masked gunman stopped feet in front of our news car, and fired off multiple rounds minutes later.
I did my best to keep my composure and explain our experience step by step on live TV.
It’s one of those things you wish you’d never experience. I’m eternally thankful for God’s grace and protection. 🙏🏽

In short, this will prevent any and all media from providing information to the public until this case goes to trial.
Defense attorneys say publicity will infringe on Carr’s right to due process and an impartial jury.
