In about 20 minutes supposedly we all get the Drumph alert on our cell phones.

I turned mine off! (I have the luxury cause I am retired.) The alert will probably be there when I turn it back on later, but at least I don't have to be bothered by The Old Man for a while!

Hope I never get it - but if I do, hopefully in a long time from now.

Decided that until he is finally in jail, I would rather miss Amber Alerts and hope that there aren’t any.

it'll be a good test for "robustness" (or lack thereof) of the cell infrastructure.
