A Tsunami Warning??

Curt received a weather alert warning on his cell phone this morning – a tsunami threat. We looked at each other; like, what in the world? Where would we go if there’s a tsunami?  A couple of minutes later we both got alerts that there is no tsunami threat.



According to The Post and Courier, “ AccuWeather sent the tsunami push notification about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, indicating there was a warning in effect for the next hour. Shortly after that, the Weather Service clarified that there was no threat and that the routine monthly test message had been misinterpreted by "at least one private-sector weather company as an official tsunami warning." This particular false alarm came on the heels of several high-profile notification snafus warning of imminent threats. A Hawaii state employee mistakenly sent an alert about a ballistic missile attack on Jan. 13. Almost a week later, a malfunction triggered sirens Jan. 19 at a North Carolina nuclear power plant.”

This is quite the winter!
