WKTV NEWSChannel 2 - FEMA replied that they did not send this out. They will launch a full investigation into how their codes were hacked. WKTV seems to be the only target of this hack. For now, we have disabled the codes in our decoder that trigger this alert. If there is a real National Alert, we will still receive it from the local radio stations we are assigned to monitor. WKTV will cooperate fully with FEMA, providing information about our hardware, software and internet access, and will provide log files from our devices. This information will be helpful to FEMA to track down the source of this hack.

Only one mention of the clear Dr.Seuss reference?
Would you, Could you, On a plane?
Would you Could you, to the Grain?
Would you, Could you, in the Rain?
Would you, Could you, to the Drain?
If "they" are after infrastructure, there's no shortage here.
Of course, being conspiracy-minded, I'd say we see which candidate starts talking about stopping these attacks by taking away more of our rights- and we've got a prime suspect for who is behind them.
There's no mention of a plane in Green Eggs and Ham....None...

The video with the scrolling banner and Siren alert is creepy as hell.
Being from the UK I've never seen anything like that, I assume we don't have such a system or at least one I've never seen on TV or even mentioned ever.

This is like something The Joker would have done from the Dark Knight this is messed up
If you visit WKTV's Facebook page, you will find that in between news of last night's mystery broadcast and today's train crash, there is a story about sinister clowns terrorising local neighborhoods.
It’s certainly not illegal to dress up as a clown, but a very specific Florida law could make it easier to be arrested here than in other states for participating in the trend.
Although there’s certain exemptions (like for Halloween), Florida law states anyone “wearing the mask, hood, or other device ... with the intent to intimidate, threaten, abuse, or harass any other person” will be charged with a misdemeanor.

In case you are in the US, the sound is normal for all EAS broadcasts. That includes earthquake drills, Amber alerts (kidnappings) and weather warnings. Usually a poor quality voice, or the robot voice (similar to Trump go 26 thread) will read the words on the TV or radio. It's designed to get your attention by scaring you to death.
The EAS broadcast also can go through cell phones. When that happens, it's just the noise followed by text message.
The poster above found out their was a national test yesterday, but it looks like very few areas participated.
I don't watch tv, and the radio or phone didn't go off, and I live near a major city.
This whole thing is eerie. With all the creepy things going on, those living in the NY and NJ areas, be aware of your surroundings.
